EPISODE 43 - "PERILS OF THE TRANSPORTER"


The transporter may be the fastest and easiest way to travel, but man alive does it ever go bananas sometimes. Beaming in with a full damage report, hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton contemplate the most horrific accidents that have ever occurred during one of Trek's famous ill-fated quick trip operations. Tackling fan fave moments involving Riker replicas, arm-chomping microbes and beyond, the duo also strive to pin down exactly what happens when your molecules are broken down and reassembled, and debate the moral decisions involved in solving some of these particularly sticky situations. There's plenty of food for thought here, so don't miss out on yet another energizing listen!

EPISODE 42 - "WHEN STAR TREK DOES COMEDY"


As a franchise, Star Trek does many things brilliantly, but is comedy one of them? This week hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton, along with special guest Nick Eagland, celebrate the most hilarious moments to ever grace the screen, from tribbles to Mirror Universe hijinx, and everything in between. In addition to the varied assortment of chuckles, guffaws and chortles, the trio also strive to determine whether Worf or Data is the superior TNG comic relief, which series is the funniest and exactly why the writers often inspired groans (helloooo Insurrection!") while grasping for laughs. Plus, just because we appreciate your listenership, Tyler fan-casts the Ferengi heroes of "The Magnificent Ferengi" as Avengers. And that's no joke!

EPISODE 41 - "SPACE MADNESS!"


According to one of cinema's greatest icons, "we all go a little mad sometimes..." Well, on Star Trek "sometimes" sure does seem to roll around at regular intervals! Thus, in this week's ultra-loco installment, hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton bust out of their Starfleet issue straight-jackets and indulge in the franchise's most memorable moments of deep space insanity. Over the course of the hour-long asylum therapy session we discuss patients such as smiley-face drawing Jean-Luc Picard, hallucinating Dukat, a particularly bonkers Betazoid and those pon farr-ing Vulcan notables Spock and T'Pol.
