Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars?
That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?

CROSSPOST: Intergalactic - Babylon 5: The Road Home
Thanks to Mike Moody-Garcia for letting Kenny guest on his pod!
We’re back with another ESSENTIAL BABYLON 5 episode. Kenny Madison from the Trek Wars podcast joins Mike to discuss how Babylon 5: The Road Home is very, very good for the franchise. Despite the movie not blowing them away, they feel it can only help inspire more people to watch Babylon 5 and, fingers crossed, pave the way for either an animated or live action series reboot. Enjoy the pod!

Destroy Malevolence vs. And the Children Shall Lead
Does Dave Filoni have a brother?
That's the topic of the week. Also, Star Trek and Star Wars are the topics, too.
Aspen talks about "the Filoni Zone." Kenny, naturally, talks about Dave Filoni pulling a George Lucas and synthesizing his favorite aesthetics into something new. Aspen talks about the Trek Triumverate playing Idiotball in this week's episode. And Kenny pulls some thematics out of his butt.
Also, criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli. When you listen to the episode, you'll get it.

Shadow of Malevolence vs. The Paradise Syndrome
Aspen is sick! And suffering from The Paradise Syndrome!
Star Trek fails to show up this week as we act out of character and nitpick the flaws in Paradise Syndrome. Kenny talks about the Malevolence as an analog to the German Battleship Bismarck. And we dunk on Rise of Skywalker some more (sorry TROS lovers).
Also, both franchises deal with commanding stuff.

Rising Malevolence vs. The Enterprise Incident
Our friend Andrea DiMauro-Walton joins us to talk AHSOKA. And Star Trek, too, I guess. Aspen and Andrea talk about the Romulan Commander. Kenny talks about how Anakin just seems like a guy now (and why that's GOOD). Andrea talks about her experience with The Clone Wars and how kids aren't stupid.
And Aspen talks about Star Trek as Regency Drama.

Ambush vs. Spock's Brain
We start two new seasons at once!
Kenny talks about the bold mission statement that is Ambush. Aspen talks about individualizing the clones. We both talk about The Clone Wars - chronological order versus release order.
And Kenny introduces listeners to Fred Freiberger and sets Aspen up for a new season-long arc.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars vs. Assignment: Earth
We've got two backdoor pilots!
Both Gene and George get unprecious with what's come before. They break canon and create a new character that becomes the focus. One is the American Doctor Who. The other one is Aspen's favorite Star Wars character.
YOU DECIDE WHICH IS WHICH!
