SYNERGY!
Yes, it’s time to try and coordinate an episode of Casual Trek with the start of one of the new shows. Specifically it’s Strange New Worlds, a show which has been fantastic so far.
Being Charlie and Miles, we do have some difficulty keeping to the point and ultimately this is more of an episode where we talk about Balance of Terror and how very good it is.
11:48 Strange New Worlds “A Quality of Mercy”
43:37 The Original Series “Balance of Terror”
1:16:45 Strange New Worlds “The Broken Circle”
Talking points include: Mass Effect, Void Rivals, Transformers, Robert Kirkman’s Ouvre, The Walking Dead, Miles appeared on Breakfast in the Ruins, the Bioshock series, DIE The Roleplaying Game, A general appreciation of Kate Bush, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Grange Hill, Vampire Diaries, Jim Carrey doing Kirk in In Living Colour, The Dungeons & Dragons Movies, Miles pushes his Dr Who cred, Star Wars space fights, Night Witches, This War of Mine, Legion of Super-Heroes’ Super Stalag of Space, Harlan Ellison, Ke$ha, Venom from Batman (not the Spider-Man foe), Modern Who, Carol Kane’s credits, Across the Spider-Verse, . Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
Pedantry notes:
Ship captains can’t marry people just because they’re captains, they need to be a priest or notary or something as well.
Carol Kane played Miracle Max’s wife, not husband
