65. Death by Ceiling Rocks

Quick, put on your secret black leather uniform and prepare yourself for moral dubiousness as we prepare ourselves for the upcoming film- ‘Star Trek: Section 31.’ With the film debuting in just a few days after this episode drops, Miles and Charlie prepare themselves by choosing three episodes tangentially related to the forthcoming film. In ‘Inquisition,’ we and Julian Bashir meet Section 31 and all Bashir wants are Scone and Jams, then in ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise,’ we slip into an alternate universe/Tasha Yar fixfic and meet Captain Rachel Garrett (who will apparently be in this movie) and encounter that most deadly Star Trek threat… WALL ROCKS. Finally, in ‘Saints of Imperfection’ Captain Pike meets the worst kind of secret operatives, catty drama kids who can’t shut up about how secret they all are.

Will any of this actually relate to the film? We don’t know, but we’ve assembled a team of our own to talk about it in this episode!

51. Weather Witching (with Marci the StormBornWitch)

As so many of us are watching the weather reports with no small amount of anxiety, I sat down with my good buddy Marci (aka StormBornWitch from tumblr) to talk about her particular brand of weather magic and how a weather witch gets things down in a biome that looks very little like the one upon which the ubiquitous Wheel of the Year is based.

64. Human Jank

Don’t click on those ‘Unification Explained YouTube’ videos! Miles and Charlie open 2025 by talking about the OTOY short film ‘765874 Unification’ and honestly, for those of you disappointed that there were no lumps of coal in our Christmas Special… this is it, this is the coal. If this is (as the comments say) ‘Proper Star Trek,’ what do the Casuals who rank Tuvix as 44 out of 144 on their Big List (at time of recording) have to say about this and can they say anything good?
