    The Conscience of the King (Star Trek TOS - S1E14)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] This week: our Star Trek newbie and resident Trek expert dive head-first into Shakespearean drama, a murder mystery in space, and one very suspicious guy with a metal mask. Is he a brilliant thespian… or a genocidal space war criminal? Is Kirk developing feelings for his daughter and ready to run away and join the circus, or is he again using his charm to use a lady? All of this and more, this episode!

    The Menagerie Part 2 (Star Trek TOS - S1E13)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] Trapped in a chair, trapped in Talosian mind games, and trapped listening to Spock explain himself again. This week we wrap up The Menagerie, Part 2 where illusions run wild, Starfleet rules get bent, and the real question is whether Pike is having the worst flashback episode ever. Expect feelings, philosophy, and several tangents that definitely wasn’t approved by Starfleet Command.  [End Transmission] Support the show Treks and Tangents - A Star Trek Watchalong Podcast Patreon: Patreon.com/TreksAndTangents X: X.com/Treks_Tangents Instagram: Instagram.com/TreksAndTangents BlueSky: TreksAndTangents.bsky.social Co-Host Jaci Instagram: Instagram.com/Jibboom WhatNot: WhatNot.com/GlitterBowBoutique Co-Host Brian Twitch: Twitch.tv/PiratePoundTown YouTube Main: Youtube.com/@PiratePoundTown YouTube Second: Youtube.com/@PirateTreasureHunting Blue Sky: PiratePoundTown.bsky.social Instagram: Instagram.com/PineappleCannibal

    The Menagerie Part 1 (Star Trek TOS - S1E12)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] This week on Treks and Tangents we’re "reopening the cage" and exploring The Menagerie, Part 1.  Together we'll unpack if Morse Code still exists, court-martial chaos, and exactly how much lost pilot footage can be used without being boring.  Is Spock a criminal mastermind? Is Talos IV basically space therapy with a side of gaslighting? Are there no gas stations for shuttlecrafts in space?! Tune in and find out!

    The Corbomite Maneuver (Star Trek TOS - S1E11)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] This week on Treks and Tangents, we’re testing nerves, egos, and bluffing skills with The Corbomite Maneuver, the episode that asks: what if your greatest weapon is confidence? Our co-hosts react to giant glowing cubes, impossible threats, and one of Kirk’s boldest gambits. Will we learn the truth behind these mysteries? Will we pronounce 'Corbomite' correctly? Can we tell the difference between a window and a viewscreen? Tune in and find out!

    Dagger of the Mind (Star Trek TOS - S1E10)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] Strap in for a mind-bending trip to Tantalus V as Treks and Tangents tackles Dagger of the Mind. Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel visit a “therapeutic” penal colony that promises peace, love, and zero violence… which is Star Trek shorthand for "something is very wrong". We’re talking brainwashing machines, shady doctors, glowing visuals, and the age-old Trek question: what if the real danger is therapy? Join us as we dissect psychology, Vulcan Mind Melds, and why Starfleet really needs better background checks.  [End Transmission] Support the show Treks and Tangents - A Star Trek Watchalong Podcast Patreon: Patreon.com/TreksAndTangents X: X.com/Treks_Tangents Instagram: Instagram.com/TreksAndTangents BlueSky: TreksAndTangents.bsky.social Co-Host Jaci Instagram: Instagram.com/Jibboom WhatNot: WhatNot.com/GlitterBowBoutique Co-Host Brian Twitch: Twitch.tv/PiratePoundTown YouTube Main: Youtube.com/@PiratePoundTown YouTube Second: Youtube.com/@PirateTreasureHunting Blue Sky: PiratePoundTown.bsky.social Instagram: Instagram.com/PineappleCannibal

    Miri (Star Trek TOS - S1E09)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open]  In this week’s episode, we boldly go where puberty has gone horribly wrong. Join us as Kirk, Spock, Janice and McCoy beam down to a planet full of kids who haven’t aged in 300 years—but still somehow manage to form a full-blown Lord of the Flies cosplay group. We’ll talk tricycles, purple plague spots, and why screaming “Bonk! Bonk!” might be the least effective communication strategy in Federation history.  [End Transmission] Support the show Treks and Tangents - A Star Trek Watchalong Podcast Patreon: Patreon.com/TreksAndTangents X: X.com/Treks_Tangents Instagram: Instagram.com/TreksAndTangents BlueSky: TreksAndTangents.bsky.social Co-Host Jaci Instagram: Instagram.com/Jibboom WhatNot: WhatNot.com/GlitterBowBoutique Co-Host Brian Twitch: Twitch.tv/PiratePoundTown YouTube Main: Youtube.com/@PiratePoundTown YouTube Second: Youtube.com/@PirateTreasureHunting Blue Sky: PiratePoundTown.bsky.social Instagram: Instagram.com/PineappleCannibal

    What Are Little Girls Made Of? (Star Trek TOS - S1E08)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] On this episode, we discuss Star Trek’s most dysfunctional robot family drama: Andrea pines, Ruk looms, and Kirk tries very hard not to get turned into a glorified action figure.

    Mudd's Women (Star Trek TOS - S1E07)

    Send us a text [Hailing Frequencies Open] Harry Mudd: A man of fake chest hair, many fashions, and even more accents. A fantastic villain is introduced to Star Trek, but unfortunately under the umbrella of a problematic episode.  [End Transmission] Support the show Treks and Tangents - A Star Trek Watchalong Podcast Patreon: Patreon.com/TreksAndTangents X: X.com/Treks_Tangents Instagram: Instagram.com/TreksAndTangents BlueSky: TreksAndTangents.bsky.social Co-Host Jaci Instagram: Instagram.com/Jibboom WhatNot: WhatNot.com/GlitterBowBoutique Co-Host Brian Twitch: Twitch.tv/PiratePoundTown YouTube Main: Youtube.com/@PiratePoundTown YouTube Second: Youtube.com/@PirateTreasureHunting Blue Sky: PiratePoundTown.bsky.social Instagram: Instagram.com/PineappleCannibal
