Kelvin, Christos, Kristin and Amy examine love addiction, in particular, unrequited love.  We review Odo’s torment as he sees Major Kira fall in love with another man, right in front of his eyes, as well as reflecting on our own lost loves over the years.  We also share our thoughts on the first two episodes of Starfleet Academy.

In the first of our new series, Kelvin and Amy consider the similarities and differences between these two Star Trek episodes.  Which of our leading ladies rocked the prosthetics the best and how were the stories which supported this ‘main character as an alien plot’ did we prefer?  Are you in Team Troi or Camp Kira?

Kelvin, Amy, & Christos are back to discuss the audio drama Star Trek: Khan, which details the titular character's tragic transformation from a visionary leader on Ceti Alpha V into a vengeful villain. We comment on the satisfying narrative elements, such as the nuanced portrayal of various Augments and the moral role of Marla McGivers, while debating whether Khan is a sympathetic figure or a quintessential antagonist. The episode concludes with trivia about the production's history and a preview of upcoming discussions on genetic engineering and other Star Trek series.

Kelvin, Amy and Christos are joined by special guest Joe Keegan to discuss TNG’s The Inner Light, and the musical score which this episode is so famous for.  We consider the story points of Picard’s double life, what our own double-life could look like, before grabbing our Ressikan flutes for a deep dive into the music.  We consider the origin and legacy of the track as well as other creator-efforts such as the 6-minute orchestral suite and the version available to stream containing lyrics.
