UNTITLED: The Long Trek Home

it's the end of TOS season 3, at last! two episodes in a month means everything's comin up milhouse here at the long trek home.

we nitpick a good episode to death because of who we are as people, and encourage a character to Seek Help and Do Speedruns

this episode has 2 much gender …

sometime last year, we watched "All Our Yesterdays" and then talked about it! this one's got time travel and excess nitpicking from the host writing this, sorry.

the cops HATE ghosts. that's just science.

Special guest Rosa joins us to discuss TOS season 3 episode "The Savage Curtain" ...! We talk about books and centaurs for a while, then actually start the episode by discussing actual human presidents and the political situation of the Federation. There are no marching bands in space, and in the future you can say any slur you want.

Everyone has captions on. Zizek would hate this episode. War bad.

We're back, buds! The podcast is back! What if Liam Neeson played Abe Lincoln? Listen to the show to find out!

This episode was recorded in mid-September, 2018, before Kanye West was cancelled. Many Bothans died to bring you this recording.

We watched TOS season 3 episode "The Cloud Minders" and started a communist revolution inside our podcast!!!! there's oppressed workers and thinly veiled metaphors that we discover used to be even less thinly veiled and the whole thing rules, it turns out. watch the episode, listen to the podcast, and read the bread book, in that order. that's my advice. thank you.

we watched star trek TOS season 3 episode "the way to eden" and boy are our arms tired!

wait

ok, look, there's space hippies, chelsea talks about getting kettled, and everyone enjoys some gentle space tunes. spock's harp is discussed. did we mention the space hippies? they fuckin.

put an egg on your shirt and don your headphones, it's time for the long trek home!

everyone's dying of ADHD and the fate of the enterprise rests with an old man and his robot daughter/wife who has seventeen degrees and is interested in literally everything. the ritalin monopoly must be toppled ... in space.

we watched the star trek original series season 3 episode "Requiem for Methuselah" and had ourselves a time!

This week, SEM brings us intrepid reporting live from Memory Alpha as we watch the Star Trek TOS season 3 episode "The Lights of Zetar" ...!

Scotty falls in love with some lettuce, shields are a war crime, and another cloud menaces the Enterprise. For season 3, this was startlingly watchable!

We managed to survive watching Star Trek TOS season 3's "That Which Survives" and I think you should be proud of us for that feat.

In this episode, we learn some geography and geology, discuss podcast listening habits, and Spock is a total asshole for no good reason. Also, Kirk makes some strange assumptions about ghosts.

The intrepid crew of Long Trek Home watched TOS Season 3 episode "The Mark of Gideon" and had a bad time. Chelsea veers wildly off-topic at every opportunity while SEM valiantly tries to keep things on track.

A woman wears a bizarre and terrible outfit. Overcrowding is woefully misunderstood, people walk in circles, and in space no one can hear you scream unless you're not actually in space and then they can.

Recorded July 9, 2018

this time, SEM's friend Arras (@Animus_Panthera) joined us to discuss Star Trek TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" ...!

Everyone ignores each other a lot as the same questions are asked time and time again. 50,000 years seems like a reasonable amount of time to have grown tired of promises of incremental change. Lokai was right. Oh, yeah, and this is the episode with the dudes with half black/half white faces.

Recorded in April 2018.

Note: Arras' audio came through extremely quiet on the audio despite seeming fine while we were recording. I've done my best with it, but if audio levels are weird on this one, I apologize.
