The Spinal Frontier: A Star Trek Physiology PodcastKLINGONS: Who do we seek?Kelley and Eryn have thought a lot about Klingon parts in past episodes, but here we focus on them as a species. While they have a lot of variation, they have a few things in common: vestigial (?) foot horns, big ol' bones, blood as a food group, and two of… well, apparently, just about everything.

Spoiler alert: they’re lizards, they're parasites, they're sharks! We cannot wait to see adults in Season 2!

We’re talking eared skulls, green skulls, purple skulls, skulls that were meant to take a hit, ridgey skulls, toothy skulls, and skulls with weird holes. Thank you again to our friends Sophia and Adrienne at Where’s Beverly (https://www.spreaker.com/show/wheres-beverly) and Jeff from Starfleet Leadership Academy (https://www.starfleetleadership.academy/) for making sure we did not miss out on these skulls, and for connecting us with...2022-05-0923 minThe Spinal Frontier: A Star Trek Physiology PodcastBORG: Parasites or symbionts?In this special episode, Kelley and Eryn wonder out loud for like 27 minutes whether that assimilation life is really so bad… biologically speaking. Topics include tongues with smiley faces, USB Steve Carrell, standing against Hugh erasure, real-life microscopic self-reproducing biological robots, and our resident Purrengi, Soft, who was thankfully quiet the whole show. We are so desperate for Picard Season 2 to end so we can follow our “no current season” rule and finally talk about the dang Borg skull. So, so desperate.

(It’s not over! Resistance is futile!)

Kelley regularly imitated Geordi's VISOR with her headbands as a kid-- bless the early 90s--although it didn't help her see sweat. We also talk about the real version of the VISOR, pseudopupils, and why the Borg versions of ourselves would probably look like Minions.
