Did you know that some planets in Star Trek might not have the best laws? Especially utopian ones which are suspiciously wary of joining the Federation. Today we’ve got a trio of planets that are up to no good, from an algorithmic war, a fuck planet with some deadly attitudes about lawns and a sky city which will fail if you don’t plug a child into it for… some reason.
Timecodes:
09:54 TOS – A Taste of Armageddon
36:00 TNG – Justice
59:10 SNW – Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach
We’ve got some fun attempts at bad line delivery, discussion of Ursula LeGuin and a new bottom shooter for our list one episode after our first real contender for a new best of all Trek. Incredible!
Talking points include: Those Who Walk Away from Omelas (a lot), Zardos, Hello from the Magic Tavern, Arkham Horror: The Living Card Game, Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker, Glam Thunderbirds, keeping your pwning hygienic, James Doohan: War Hero, Ben Reilly, Wil Wheaton’s oeuvre, Phonogram, Librarians, Man of Steel, Dr Who, X-Men’s Krakoan Era, South Park Centrism, The Quiet Year… oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
