It's Got Star Trek – Details, episodes & analysis

Jay-Den composes an impactful best man speech while Caleb and Genesis scamper, plot, and pout. Join your holiday-break hosts as they discuss physical and metaphorical litheness, the tricky balance between tradition and self-actualization, and the venerable tradition of following up a trauma-packed episode with a more contemplative, character-growth-oriented story. Plus Jesse does some Jesse stuff, Dan does some Dan stuff, and Patrick trots out yet another edition of WTHHIHTB. Listen now, lest you fall behind the water-cooler conversations!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Starfleet Academy with our discussion of "The Life of the Stars"

Many bones get crunched. Join your cavernous hosts as they discuss Khan's persistent confusion about the value of being nice, the motivations for Captain Sulu's suspicions of Dr. Lear, and yet more examples that demonstrate that perhaps these folk's genetically engineered "superior intelligence" may not be all that superior.
