#36 – The Most (and Least) Funny Attempts at Humor in Star Trek

Join your jocular hosts as they discuss audience nominations for the most and least funny attempts at humor in the Star Trek franchise. Beware some mild spoilers for the Original Series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Short Treks, and Picard! Thanks to everyone who sent in their thoughts, except for the one racist fellow (pro-tip: if you have to state “I’m not racist” then you may be a racist).

Next week: We embark on a ten week stint covering Star Trek: Lower Decks!

#35 – ‘One of Our Planets Is Missing’ & ‘The Lorelei Signal’ TAS S1E03 & 04

Spock chats with a cloud and Uhura saves the day. Join your cartoonish hosts as they revel in the camp and creativity of the first animated Trek series, discuss the pluses and minuses of the animated format, and analyze the struggle between feminist and patriarchal messaging in old school Trek.

Next week: In preparation for our coverage of Lower Decks, we will be discussing the use of humor (successful and otherwise) in the Star Trek franchise. Contribute to our discussion by sending in your favorite and least favorite moments where Trek tried to be funny!

#34 – ‘Phantasms’ TNG S7E06

Data saves the day by stabbing Troi. Join your dreamy hosts as they debate the merits of Freudian psychoanalysis, discuss Patrick Stewart’s deft direction, and try to guess the flavor of cellular peptide cake (with mint frosting).

Next week: Kirk and crew encounter scary clouds and even scarier women in ‘One of Our Planets Is Missing’ and ‘The Lorelei Signal’ – the third and fourth episodes of Star Trek: The The Animated Series’ first season.

#33 – ‘Wink of an Eye’ TOS S3E11

A fast lass covets Kirk’s “space seed” while Spock saves the day with a little inspiration from Dark Helmet. Join your easily-confused hosts as they discuss the threshold for immoral action when your entire species is in danger, lament the general slip in writing-quality during TOS’ third season, and inquire as to precisely how long Kirk spent hanging out with Deela in his quarters.

Next week: Data is having some trouble sleeping and Worf gets excited for cake in ‘Phantasms’ – the sixth episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s seventh season.

#31 – ‘Blink of an Eye’ Voyager S6E12

Janeway and the gang goof up a planet, but everything works out in the end. Join your time-zone-agnostic hosts as they discuss the often tricky-to-navigate chasm between the ideal of the Prime Directive and the practical realities faced by Starfleet crews, the problem of fiction relying on disproven tropes about cultural evolution, and the fact that The Doctor seemed more agitated by sports rosters than being ripped away from his wife and child. All of the proceeding, and much more to boot, is poured straight into your earholes on this, the 31st episode of It’s Got Star Trek!

Next week: We don our hot-weather gear to traverse the ‘Desert Crossing’ – episode 24 of Star Trek: Enterprise’s first season.

#30 – ‘Frame of Mind’ TNG S6E21

Commander Riker has a particularly bad week. Join your totally-not-insane hosts as they consider the ramifications of not trusting your own brain, the positives and negatives of episodic storytelling, and the inherent contradiction of spiny lobefish.

Next week: We fast-forward through cultural evolution in ‘Blink of an Eye’ – episode 12 of Star Trek: Voyager’s sixth season.
