New #TrekPolitics! "Mudd's Women" from early in season one of the original series is missing a key element that would've saved it from being a sexist mess. Stick around for #Bobservations!

Best Bobservations yet! This is also spot-on in terms of where this ballyhooed episode succeeded and failed. Great podcast ep from @trekpolitics.bsky.social

The best part of doing my podcast is getting to play songs submitted to me by indie recording artists. And this one by Keturah Allgood is among the most beautiful. Take a second and listen.

On his birthday, we remember the great composer Jerry Goldsmith, who wrote the musical scores for five Star Trek movies and the main title themes for Star Trek TNG and Voyager. What's your favorite Goldsmith score, Star Trek or otherwise?
Finally, a reason to watch the Super Bowl... and it's the Enterprise.

I would like to second this idea

I made Mary laugh out loud *and* facepalm with my nerdy nitpicks of "Plato's Stepchildren." We also had a great talk about the politics of this episode and the wonderful performance of little person Michael Dunn.

This TOS episode is super weird. A roller coaster of emotions and both great and over-the-top performances.
New #TrekPolitics! It's the one with interracial kiss and some damn fine acting from Nichelle Nichols and Michael Dunn.

"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (Star Trek: TOS) was bold for 1969, but it didn't go nearly far enough and pulled a both-sides false equivalence between the enslaved and enslaver. trekpolitics.com
You should add "Slavery By Another Name" by @douglasblackmon.bsky.social to your Black History Month reading list. trekpolitics.com

Anyone else get Guy Fleegman vibes from Ocam Sadal

IMHO this is one of our strongest episodes. Neo-slavery, Jim Crow, the both-sidesing of racism, and as always some fun #Bobservations at the end.
