Episode 1: Family Series
Where My Son is Concerned
Did the death of McCoy’s father push him toward a career in Starfleet? Is Kirk more devoted to a certain Science Officer than his blood family? How does Spock reconcile with his duel heritage? At any point of this pod, will you hear us say “dark,” “death,” “anguish,” and “tragic?” Listen to Ashlyn and Rhianna discuss all of these answers on The Duras Sisters Podcast episode covering the Families of McCoy, Kirk, Sulu, Scotty, and Spock.
SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers abound for pretty much all of our main trio’s lives, plus Scotty and Sulu. Also spoilers for the movies Wrath of Kahn, The Search for Spock, Final Frontier, and Generations.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses abuse, family death, and trauma.
This episode is the first of our family series which will go through discussions of family for every Star Trek show, starting with The Original Series and ending with Lower Decks.
How many siblings does Picard have? Listen to our episode next week, covering the themes of Family in the Next Generation, to find out.
