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!

When Captain Kirk is hauled into a Starfleet courtroom for allegedly leaving a crewman to die, things get tense faster than a redshirt on an away mission.

This week on Treks and Tangents, we dive into Court Martial, the episode where Kirk swaps his captain’s chair for the defendant’s chair. There’s dramatic testimony, suspicious computer records, and at least one moment where you can practically hear Bones muttering, “I’m a doctor, not a lawyer.”

Is Kirk guilty? Is the Enterprise haunted by bad data? And how does 23rd-century justice still involve so much standing around in very dramatic lighting?

Join us as we object, overrule, and boldly go where no legal drama has gone before.

What happens when the Enterprise accidentally slingshots itself straight into 1960s Earth… and suddenly we’re the aliens?

This week we dive into “Tomorrow Is Yesterday”, where Captain Kirk and crew become the very thing conspiracy theorists warned us about: mysterious lights in the sky, disappearing pilots, and even little green men!

If you’ve ever looked at a grainy UFO photo and thought, “That might be the Enterprise...”, then this episode is for you!

This week on Treks and Tangents, we step into the rocky wasteland of Arena from The Original Series. It’s fists, homemade cannons, questionable chemistry skills, and the slowest lizard in the galaxy. Grab a bamboo tube and watch this story of the Tortoise Gorn and the Hare Captain!

Greetings and felicitations!

Quite the quirky, quizzical quadrant of Treks and Tangents this week, as we quietly queue up questions, quandaries, and quality commentary from the episode "The Squire of Gothos". Quirky characters, questionable choices, and quintessentially Trek tech collide while we quiz the episode’s quiet tensions, quick reversals, and quasi-philosophical twists.

Queue it up, grab a questionable beverage, and join us for a quippy, quotable, quality-controlled conversation that proves Star Trek remains endlessly quotable, occasionally questionable, and always worth the quest.

Hip-hip-horrah and Tallyho!

This week on Treks and Tangents, we divert to explore the episode "The Galileo Seven". We discuss how a stupid decision to send the top members of your crew out to explore a space quasar in a tin can will always lead to disaster. Join us as we dodge giant spears made of pool noodles and learn how Spock logically plots out steps for weight loss.
