Talk Trek (Star Trek Podcasts)

As you are all aware, it had been a while since we last released an episode of Talk Trek.  Last week, before the release of Episode 52, we decided to sit down amongst the four of us and discuss some random topics from 2011.  Hopefully 2012 turns out better from a Talk Trek perspective than 2011 did.

Enjoy.

Live Long and Talk Trek

We're back!  It's been far too long, but we'll make it up to you.  This episode was recorded back in August, 2010 (we think), so a lot of what we're talking about might be a tad dated.

The Enterprise discovers the derelict starship Exeter drifting in space, its entire crew killed by an unknown plague.

It is Super Bowl Sunday everybody!  We've had many requests to release this latest episode before the Super Bowl so that listeners can play it during their respective parties.  Well, the Crew has obliged as always.

In this latest Original Series episode, Kirk, Uhura and Chekov are kidnapped by aliens and forced to fight other aliens so that a mentally superior race can gamble on the winner.

Does danger fall to those who we suspect the least? Are mountains sometimes obscured by thick fog? How are we supposed to know what lurks in the night? Are the sheep safe?

We won't answer these questions in this episode. In fact, we won't even ask them. However, join us on our journey through Wolf in the Fold where Scotty is suspected of killing several women while on shore leave on Argelius II.

Oh, how much do we love parallel universes?  Let us count the ways... Bearded Spocks... Wonderfully dressed Uhuras...  Vixens with beauty...  I'm sure we could all live in this new reality.  Or could we?  In Mirror, Mirror, a transporter malfunction sends Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura into a parallel universe, where in lieu of the Federation, a despotic Earth-centered galactic empire exists!

Talk Trek returns from a retirement it should have never taken!   

The good ship Enterprise has a close-encounter with Nomad, an ancient interstellar probe from Earth that has somehow mutated into a powerful trophy-shaped machine bent on sterilizing whole planets that do not meet its standards of perfection.

Dear Listeners -

We are terribly sorry for the delay.  Perhaps "Who Mourns for Adonaïs?" is such a great episode from the original series that we had to spend so much time getting the podcast right.  Yeah... that sounds like a good excuse!  :)

In any event, we are back.  Stay tuned for a steady stream of podcasts from now on (until we take our next break)!

So, please come with us as we invest our minds in Greek mythology and learn about the true Apollo.  Was he really a god?  Or was he just trying to score with the new blonde chick on the planet?
