69. Save the Punks
It’s time to get your stolen spaceship hurtling round the sun and going back in time to the 1980’s with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home! We’re joined by our occasional editor and perpetual Pokémon expert, Reanna Reid-Lobatto, with some news about whales (and transparent aluminium). There’s some impressive Shacting as Spock and the crew get up to hijinks in order to get whales going back to the future! Then we’ve got the second part of this ‘bus punk’ duology with Picard’s “Watcher,” where we’re reminded why ICE should be abolished, Rafi is the most fun she’s been in the show and Guinan’s already fed up of JL!

80. A Couple of Things…
This month I wanted to talk about a couple of things that wouldn’t necessarily fill out a whole episode on their own. First off, after last month’s episode I wanted to clarify some of my thoughts on psychics. Secondly, I wanted to talk about bias and what we do with evidence that runs contrary to our beliefs.

Better lock up your familial issues and not talk about things with your parents as we delve into possibly one of the worst fathers in Science-Fiction (at least this one has an excuse for emotional distance) as we talk about the most Vulcan of Vulcans, Spock (and Michael Burnham’s and Sybok’s) dad, Sarek. Is he well-meaning, or, as Miles believes, has definately eaten one of his own children like a Goya painting?
