It’s time to get assimilated into the new episode of Casual Trek!
We’ve got some great episodes all about the ominous Borg. We’ve also got John DeLancie lounging on things and seeing a young Q here, wouldn’t Andy Samburg be a perfect Q? I’d love to see if he could be as ominous as John DeLancie, and we know he’d be good at the capering lunacy. We get some Frankenstein vibes from Drone which was not the episode I thought it would be, and then Let Sleeping Borg Lie gives us an excuse to check out Prodigy again and the Borg are scary in an episode made for kids. Good work, Prodigy!
8:52 Star Trek The Next Generation “Q Who?”
43:27 Star Trek: Voyager “Drone”
1:08:59 Star Trek Prodigy “Let Sleeping Borg Lie”
Talking points include: Paranoia, Watchmen, Before Watchmen, Doomsday Clock, Early Versions of The Boys, Into the Archives with Peter Fleming, Doctor Who (A LOT), Charlie being extremely slow to realise what ‘firing power’ meant although he’s talking to a man in America so it’s somewhat justified, Marvel’s post-Comics Code Teenage Years, Bryan Fuller, our first song mentioned with a Weird Al parody, hologram trading cards, Spaced, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, a passing mention of Babylon 5 & Blake’s 7, a game of ‘who has the worse fans online?’, the Star Wars film you don’t mention online, Charlie can’t think of “Whirlipede” from Pokémon, a rhino man borg!, Avatar (guess which one), Transformers Earthspark, . Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
