Casual Trek

12. Debt of Honour

We’ve got a slightly different episode today and a callback to our very first episode of Casual Trek! We discovered Chris Claremont had written a Star Trek comic and HAD to check it out. So here, in lieu of our normal episodes, we’ve got a bonus episode where we review and talk about Debt of Honour. I know that’s not how honour is spelled on the book but I kept writing it that way and with Claremont as an anglophile, I figure he wouldn’t mind.

We open by talking about the man himself and a few other things. The actual talk about Debt of Honour starts at 13:41 Ha ha, just kidding, we talk about the credits and get side-tracked, the actual talk about Debt of Honour is 23:03.

Talking points include: Sovereign Seven, why is Chris Claremont, a LOT of X-Men talk, The Image Exodus, the Death of Superman, Miles doesn’t know how to say ‘kayfabe’ understandable fawning over the Simonsons, Legion of Super-Heroes & JLI, Marvel’s Star Trek comics, X-Files, Chris Claremont’s anglophilia (which is not a shield from bad takes), Samuel Delaney, Diane Duane, RPG novelisations, Kitty Pryde’s unfortunate use of slurs to make a point, Cats Laughing, the many kinks of Christopher S Claremont, Psylocke, two time GLAAD award winner Peter Alan David, and occasionally Star Trek.
