This week, the crew examines toxic fan culture and share their experiences, as well as possible causes and what we can all do to change attitudes.

We’re joined by Ari Silvera from the Angel Two Podcast to discuss the TOS Season 3 episode "The Mark of Gideon." We touch on topics of government bureaucracy, overpopulation, birth control, and so much more.

Our crew discusses Star Trek episodes like "Devil in the Dark," "Duet" and "I, Borg" that challenge the show’s characters - and viewers - to learn empathy.
Though she only appeared in four episodes, Kai Opaka (Camille Saviola) laid the groundwork for the Bajoran culture on DS9. The crew takes a closer look at our first "Space Pope."
We chat about the 2015 IDW comic book miniseries Starfleet Academy, which targeted young adult readers with a story about a diverse team of Starfleet cadets, juxtaposed with a plotline about one of Kelvin Timeline Uhura’s Academy adventures.
Our crew takes a look at the 5th Season TNG episode "Disaster." We discuss Troi's turn in the big chair, Worf's skills as a field medic, the unusual pairing of Crusher and LaForge, Data's disembodied head, Picard's choice of children's song, and so much more.

We’re joined by special guests Caitlin McKenna and Jane Way to talk about how Star Trek has depicted sex workers, from exotic dancers to dabo girls to Risian resort staff and more. Warning: Contains explicit language and discussion of mature themes.
Our whole crew discusses the second half of of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery - both the positive and the problematic. And we speculate just a little bit about Season 2.
In our second look at Star Trek’s women villains, we examine con-women Ardra (TNG) and Dala (VOY), memorable TOS antagonists Nona and Janice Lester, and heavy-hitters like the Female Changeling, Valeris and the Sphere-Builders.
An accomplished linguist and communicator, Hoshi Sato played a key role on the Enterprise (and in the Mirror Universe). But there were also missed opportunities with her character. Join us for a discussion of her most memorable moments.
Sue gathered a panel of guests to discuss the first season of Seth MacFarlane’s "The Orville." We talk about expectations, first impressions, the cast, the show’s relationship to Star Trek, and then deep-dive into two episodes: "About a Girl" and "Cupid’s Dagger."
