84. TNG/Doctor Who: Assmilation Squared – The TARDIS Enters Data

Welcome to spooky season and we’re horrifying Miles specifically with a crossover between Star Trek and his favorite fandom! Can you hear the finger of a monkey’s paw curling?

Assimilation Squared has been a threat on this show for a while, but why is that? Listen on and we’ll explain the story and the many questionable art choices.

04:09 – What Non-Star Trek Thing We’ve Been Enjoying:
10:32 – Preamble and talking about licensed comics
31:09 – What is Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 actually about?

Talking points include: Transformers Vs GI Joe, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, TV-21, Charlie didn’t hold a cat hostage (said mainly to appease Emma), TekWar, Alien: Isolation, Hollow Knight, Absolution, the works of Tony Lee and the various other creators, Charlie & Miles’ history with Star Trek comics, Saga, Buffy comics, the unnecessary final boss level in Bioshock, the TARDIS enters Data (non-sexually). Miles’ Star Trek/Doctor Who fanfiction, All-Star Superman, Sanji’s eyebrow, Star Trek and Doctor Who’s acknowledgement of each other, The Multiversity, our recommendations for tie-in comics. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. And Doctor Who.

Pedant’s Corner:

  • Tony Lee’s X-Men Unlimited story is about Sage stealing a painting from an old Hellfire Club guy
  • Miles means Charlie Adlard
