Treks and the City – Details, episodes & analysis

This week, Alice and Skyler discuss being handsome, spelling the names of universities backwards, giving up on gatekeeping Star Trek discussions from listeners of the Star Trek podcast Treks and the City, absolutely embarrassing Skyler, Skyler's history of being low-res, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode seventeen, "Accession." Topics include the rules of The Emissary, the prophets being a bunch of very funny people, Dane Cook the hand artist, Messi, the dog from Anatomy of a Fall, absolutely crushing his Oscars bit, innovations in Zoom joking, Coraline (though it wasn't that clear that Alice knew that that's what Skyler was referencing), and much, much more!

This week, Alice and Skyler are joined once again by the great Ben Rodgers (Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Actionboyz podcast) to discuss what everyone can hear, just how big a car Ben drives, giving up on English, the joys of recognizing that somebody looks like somebody else regardless of whether or not the resemblance may be rude to share with them, which member of Boygenius Skyler saw perform recently, what Boygenius is, and much, much more.

Crumb, the best scary tech to build a horror movie around, the iHome, whether or not Deep Space Nine will ever figure out what to do with Worf now that he's a part of the crew, who's really responsible for the death of the inventor of the Segway, Bashir being gross, Kira being weird about Sisko yet again, being a Crom-head, and more.

Look, sometimes internets don't work and you have to upload a classic episode.

Enjoy: Mary Holland (Wild Horses, Veep, Blunt Talk) with Alice and Veronica, talking S2E1 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Child," in which Troi goes into labor with an alien child and it's... orgasmic??? This cues a deep dive into the way overused sci-fi/fantasy trope of the "mystical pregnancy" and an exploration of its misogynistic connotations.
