Casual Trek

2. Attack of the PS1 Aliens!

Hey, it’s episode two of Casual Trek! We’re still watching the pilot episodes of Star Trek, so this is a long one, but we’ve had an idea for a gimmick which will help keep us on point with the recaps.

Timecodes:
00:00:00 Opening
00:06:41 VOY: Caretaker
00:37:17 ENT: Broken Bow
01:03:38 DISCO: Vulcan Hello / Battle at the Binary Stars

This is a mostly poorer set of pilots, but luckily they’re a lot of fun to talk about. Where’s Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Prodigy and The Animated Series in our examination of the pilots? Shh, we’re ignoring most of those for now, but we do have plans. Talking points include: Space raccoons. 90’s mall chic. More bad GM practices. Lexx. Loving a chunky set. Space good ol’ boys. That time James Cromwell glued himself to a Starbucks. Space looking really beautiful. Charlie doesn’t know what metal is, but describes a thing as being metal here. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
