Star Trek Podcast where two casual Star Trek fans try and rank every episode of Star Trek on a big list.
It’s a great one, although there is one pretty bad ‘of its time’ moment. But it’s always great when TOS goes Weird Tales.

Our last episode is DS9’s Empok Nor where Miles O’Brian’s trip to an abandoned Cardassian space station for important parts causes Garak to accidentally get high on psychotropic drugs and turns him into an (even more) dangerous killer! #startrek #halloween (4/4)

Our second episode is Voyager’s ‘Darkling’ where the Doctor’s attempts at self-improvement by adding bits of famous people into his personality goes very very wrong causing the birth of an evil Doctor! Isn’t that always the way? (3/4) #startrek #halloween

First episode is ‘Wolf in the Fold’ where McCoy’s attempts to get Scotty some (for work reasons, honest) end in many many murders and leads us to ask… is Scotty Jack the Ripper? (2/4) #startrek #halloween

We’ve been threatening Miles with the possibility of this one since we started and we’re finally going through with it alongside its glacial pacing and it’s incredibly not great art.

Then the main event, “Year of Hell”, where the dad from That 70’s Show is in charge of a time-ship, erasing whole societies from the timeline and now his attention’s been brought to Voyager! Who will live? Who will die? Who’ll get some sweet scars?
Check us out on your podcatcher of choice! (3/3)

First up, “Before and After” has Kes living backwards through time, starting with her death and ending with her birth, stopping off to hear about some ‘year of hell’ she experienced and that time Harry Kim married her two-year old daughter.

I saw it back mid 90s I think on VHS. A lot of it is engrained on me from that long ago.

While not written by Robert Holmes, it is ‘based on an idea by.’ One wonders what we could have gotten if Holmes had gotten the chance to write banter for two such incredibly charming actors! (2/2)
