  • A Taste of Armageddon (Star Trek TOS - S1E24)
    Mar 24 2026

    In this episode of Treks and Tangents, we step into the world of A Taste of Armageddon where war is neat, tidy… and somehow even worse. When entire populations politely report for scheduled disintegration, Kirk decides maybe this whole “civilized war” thing needs a serious reboot.

    We break down the logic of weaponized spreadsheets, question the efficiency of voluntary vaporization, and ask: is this the most organized apocalypse ever?

    It’s Star Trek meets corporate policy… with a body count.

    This week on Treks and Tangents, the Enterprise accidentally unthaws one of Earth’s greatest historical mistakes: Khan and his Golden Underwear Gang. Khan quickly proves that waking up ancient super-dictators might not have been Starfleet’s best idea.

    Meanwhile, Lieutenant Marla McGivers discovers she has a surprising weakness for strong jawlines and ambitious warlords.

    Join us as we talk superhumans, questionable Starfleet decision-making, Marla's weakness for strong jawlines, and the episode that plants the very dramatic seeds of one of Star Trek’s greatest rivalries.

    Join us as we jump through the plot holes of The Return of the Archons and explore one of Trek’s earliest deep dives into authoritarian “utopias,” creepy hooded enforcers, and a Red Hour Festival so lively, it's a riot!
