Casual Trek
Charlie is a lifelong X-Men fan. Miles is a lifelong Doctor Who fan. If ANYONE can objectively rank every single episode of Star Trek on a big list, it’s gotta be the two people who think that Star Trek is “Pretty Decent.” (Citation Needed)
Casual Trek updates every fortnight.
Casual Tangent: Akira and Game Design
We tend to run long, so this tangent from our Starfleet Academy episode was cut out. If you want to hear a little chatter about comics and RPGs, then it’s here.

90. Welcome to Starfleet Academy, B****!
Welcome to Starfleet Academy, students, we hope you survive the experience!
It’s the grimdark future of the 32nd century and a bunch of weird, traumatised kids are stuck together having to learn and grow into Starfleet officers! Will the main character be too annoying a main character? How many The O.C. references will Charlie make? How much will Miles lust after an espresso machine? And how delightful are those teachers?

89. Starfleet Academy Prelude – So Much Child Death
Do you hear the siren song of synergy?
That means we’ve got a brand new Star Trek show on the horizon and Miles and Charlie want in. With Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on the horizon, our brave lads are going to squeeze back into their school uniforms and try to remember how school works as they approach three episodes of Star Trek which deal with students at SFA.

Casual Trek Rewind: Mirror Universe Episodes
Due to various medical emergencies, our Starfleet Academy episodes are going to have to wait a little while. Instead, here’s an old favourite episode: “They Exploded Odo!”
We experience the original Mirror Universe episode and try to understand a system of government entirely based around betrayal (that isn’t the Romulans’), also a fantastic episode of DS9 with some shock as there’s a pretty brutal explosion of one cast member!

Casual Trek’s still in recovery mode from life and the festive period and we’ve wanted to fix the “Gamers” episode which was cursed with bad attempts to compress the file.

88. By Grabthar’s Hammer, What a Podcast
Charlie and Miles have ‘gifted’ each other episodes of Star Trek to talk about, both good and bad. The problem with being casual about Star Trek is you just don’t know all of what’s out there. That’s what the Casual Trek mission is for, after all.
This year the gang are doing something different, talking about a film that’s adjacent to Star Trek, and even some Trek actors say is the best Star Trek movie: Galaxy Quest. They’ve even got guest stars Reanna Reid-Lobatto and Sean Corse from off of the Famicom Dojo joining the festivities.

Bonus – We Saved This Vessel Once & Section 31 Pitch Session
Welcome to an emergency bonus episode! Miles is off, but the fortnightly schedule continues. Charlie’s played a solo roleplaying game based on Star Trek. No, not the official one, but “We Saved This Vessel Once.” After that, there’s the unhinged pitches from our Section 31 episode, which includes Sean Corse of Famicom Dojo, and Celeste Startwin of Stormwood & Associates!

87. Flesh Katamari
We’re still concerned with the Delta Quadrant as this episode of Casual Trek covers episodes from Modern Trek’s animated series concerning the Voyager, the Delta Quadrant and all those assorted antics. First up is the Prodigy Season One mid-season two-parter ‘A Moral Star’ where Dal and the Protostar gang plan to actually do a Starfleet with a little bit of heist antics as they try to break out the prisoners of their old home and then in Lower Decks’s ‘Twovix’ as Boimler grapples with the possibility of promotion, the crew of the Cerritos discover that when there’s an outbreak of Tuvixes, Janeway was 100% right!
