Kevin Yank and Rob Lloyd explore the intersecting wormholes that permeate Star Trek canon, inspired by each new episode to hit the subspace relays.

    Episode 82: Pure Evil (SNW 3×10 New Life and New Civilizations)

    Kev and Rob agree the "log cabin timeline" is a nicer place to live than the rest of the Strange New Worlds season three finale, "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW). On the bright side, perhaps it will be the last time that "pure evil" is used as a plot device for awhile. We can only hope. Taking this last opportunity, they revisit other examples of evil in its purest form: "Skin of Evil" (TNG) and "The Most Toys" (TNG). SNW 3×10 New Life and New Civilizations Katra Mind meld Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Vina TNG 5×25 The Inner Light Phil Boyce TNG 1×23 Skin of Evil Denise Crosby waves goodbye in “Symbiosis” TNG 3×15 Yesterday’s Enterprise Sela Armus Leland T.

    Episode 81: Hostile Environments (SNW 3×09 Terrarium)

    Rob and Kev argue over who will cook the worm they found in a hole on the other side of a wormhole, then huddle by the light of a camp stove to discuss "Terrarium" (SNW). While they await their rescue-slash-murder, they compare notes on other instances of crashed enemies finding common ground in "Darmok" (TNG) and "Dawn" (ENT).

    Episode 80: Exes (SNW 3×08 Four-and-a-Half Vulcans)

    Rob and Kevin play cartoon versions of Vulcan versions of themselves with the help of their exes in "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (SNW). They then revisit past episodes where post-relationship relationships figured prominently in the stories of Starfleet officers, including "Haven" (TNG) and "Rejoined" (DS9).

    Episode 79: Giant Space Creatures (SNW 3×07 What is Starfleet?)

    Kevin and Rob dodge oddly insistent questions about what it's like to kill a person in order to discuss the relative merits of "What is Starfleet?" (SNW). Inspired by this episode's "space dragon", they revisit a couple of other giant space creatures of episodes past, in "Datalore" and "Silicon Avatar" (TNG), and "Tin Man" (TNG). SNW 3×07 What is Starfleet?

    Episode 78: Using Ancient Technology (SNW 3×06 The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail)

    Rob and Kev record their entire conversation about "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (SNW) over copper wires with pink telephone receivers. They then visit two previous uses of "ancient" technology in Trek adventures, "Spectre of the Gun" (TOS) and "Vis à Vis" (VOY). SNW 3×06 The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail USS Farragut (NCC-1647) TOS 2×18 Obsession (the tragedy where Kirk, as a Lieutenant, blamed himself for the deaths of half the Farragut crew) USS Stargazer (NCC-2893) “Risk is our business” (and an extended cut!)

    Episode 77: Body Possession (SNW 3×05 Through the Lens of Time)

    Kev and Rob are possessed by two entirely different manifestations of pure evil and have a knock-down, drag-out fistfight in sickbay over the slightly confusing but gratifyingly adventurous events of "Through the Lens of Time" (SNW). Having regained their senses, they investigate other instances of body possession in "Return to Tomorrow" (TOS), "Power Play" (TNG), and "Tears of the Prophets" (DS9).

    Episode 76: Holodecks, Part II (SNW 3×04 A Space Adventure Hour)

    Rob and Kev sneak onto a Holodeck that shouldn't be invented for eighty years or so to question characters playing parodies of past podcast hosts you might recognize. Also they talk about "A Space Adventure Hour" (SNW). Inspired by its surprise appearance in this era, they return to holodeck episodes past for a second time, reflecting on "The Big Goodbye" (TNG), "Hollow Pursuits" (TNG), "Fair Haven" (VOY) and "Spirit Folk" (VOY).

    Episode 75: Horror (SNW 3×03 Shuttle to Kenfori)

    Kev and Rob creep through a suspiciously silent science lab to discuss "Shuttle to Kenfori" (SNW), and agree that it wasn't the scariest episode of Star Trek ever. After all, there was "Conspiracy" (TNG) and "Empok Nor" (DS9). To shake off the scares, they take a few minutes to discuss Jim Henson's Creature Shop coming to a starship bridge near you.
