    102. Star Trek Rockstar Cameos: Weekend at Keevan’s

    Are you ready to rock? Well we are and so is Star Trek, with three episodes that feature guest acting turns from musicians. In ‘Manhunt,’ Lwaxana Troi returns while Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac stands in the corner as a giant fish alien. After that, we’re putting a team together in ‘The Magnificent Ferengi’ as Quark, Rom and Nog must rescue Moogie from Iggy Pop and in ‘The Good Shepard,’ Janeway rails against workplace inefficiency and if you blink and miss him, Tom Morello isn’t Raging Against the Machine but instead is a good Starfleet crew member. Good night, listeners, there will be no encore! Timecodes: MANHUNT (09:30) THE MAGNIFICENT FERENGI (35:06) THE GOOD SHEPARD (01:00:55) Talking Points include: Coyote vs. Acme, The Backrooms (Charlie Etheridge-Nunn Edition), Miles floats the idea of a Pingu-themed coffee bar, Soul 2 Soul, Miles has strong opinions on the noir inspirations of Dixon Hill, Fleetwood Mac, we were not expecting Worf to point out Wesley’s casual racism, more a comedy of manners (in which Picard has too many and Lwaxana has none) the fish people are very 80s Doctor Who, Lwaxana Troi is far less irritating here, Riker’s shit eating grin, Iggy Pop, Moogie’s going to bring the Dominion, we want to know more about Lekk, Higher Quality Buffoonery, Rom’s finally killed someone but don’t worry, he’s easily distracted by shiny objects, they love a weird gong in Star Trek, there’s a theme here with Charlie’s history of music being related to Rock Band, what happens to the people who wash out at Starfleet? The conversation about diversity hires is sadly very different than when this episode came out, don’t lick the Warp Core, the Window that doesn’t exist, Miles goes on a tired about the American Work Ethic and the phrase ‘If you don’t like your job, just leave,’ mental health on Voyager probably sucks more than usual, hating on the shorthand in fiction that hypochondria is code for ‘neurotic loser,’ is this the most conservative episode of Star Trek not featuring black-face? Miles’ former RS and form master at school Mr. Hickman – RIP Legend. [ Additional Show Notes ] Music by Alfred Etheridge-Nunn. Read Miles’s blog or Charlie’s blog.

    101. Claremont’s Star Trek: Alexander Rozhenko Has a Good Day

    Casual Trek read Chris Claremont’s epic graphic novel Debt of Honor a few years ago, now it’s time to check out the sequel story, set in the era of Star Trek: The Next Generation! Claremont’s adopted Jame Finney from Court Martial as his favourite Star Trek character and she quickly becomes the cast’s favorite, too! He also gives Alexander the one good day he will ever have. In addition, we’ve got stories about when Ro Laren did a bad thing, and how Kelsey Grammar’s a real grouch. 05:13 What Non-Star Trek Thing We’ve Been Enjoying: Biscuits and the theatre 05:13: Introduction to Star Trek Special #2 07:00: The Choice 12:59: Out of Time 19:03: Cry Vengeance Talking points include: Gen13, Sovereign Seven, Miles is the one fan of Dark Horse’s 90’s superhero line, digestives, shortbread, Hove Open Air Theatre, Northanger Abbey, even seagulls can enjoy theatre, Charlie will still not read TekWar II unless you pay us, Commander Waid, very good Riker Expressions, The Topps X-Files comic, actor’s faces in comics, we can’t remember which episodes we’ve seen, Captain Bateman is basically just Kelsey Grammar, breaching doctor/patient confidentiality, somehow Charlie didn’t mention Money Plane, the Frasier sequel, Jame or Jamie Finney, the one good day in Alexander’s life, we’ve still not listened to Star Trek: Khan, the Bionic Woman, Alexander in the IDW Comics, Wolverine, Charlie’s still annoyed about Sherlock’s final series, Doctor Who, do the transporters get rid of human waste, Miles brings an old transporter theory into play, admin issues with Krakoan resurrection, . Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. Pedant’s corner: Dark Horse’s Alien Vs Predator stars Machiko Noguchi as the protagonist, made by Randy Stradley. Chris Claremont’s Alien Vs Predator: Deadliest of the Species features a genetically enhanced trophy wife called Caryn Delacroix, who works at different times with humans, yautja and xenomorphs. Next episode, normal service will resume! [ Additional Show Notes ] Music by Alfred Etheridge-Nunn. Read Miles’s blog or Charlie’s blog.
