Season 2, Episode 05
Published September 11th 2021
10th Episode
After talking about Marvel a few times it was only a matter of time before I did a big Star Trek episode, and the 55th Anniversary felt like a great opportunity. I'd already discussed elements of it before but here, similar to my Mass Effect episode I decided to do a big deep dive into the whole franchise and discuss all the things I love about it.
It was my longest episode so far but was an absolute joy to make. I could talk about Star Trek far more, and likely will in the future. In fact my recent #TrekThree on twitter has really made me think about just how much I love this franchise.
