Casual Trek

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 Bashier meet Section 31 and all Bashier 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 apprantly be in this movie) and we encounter that most deadly Star Trek threat… WALL ROCKS and then 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 the next episode!

Inquisition (11:52) Yesterday’s Enterprise (46:00) Saints of Imperfection (1:16:08)

Talking Points: Favourite Spy TV Shows, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, A whostrobot, Charlie is trying to play every Super Mario Brothers and he’s just wrong inside, Section 31 just feels like a 15 year old’s attempt at edgy, we talk realpolitik for a second, The Prisoner, Jam and Scones, a surprise Jeffrey Combs appearance, William Sadler also being Death in Bill and Ted, the subtle differences with the alternate Enterprise characters, this is a Tasha Yar fixfic, wall rocks are useful… maybe, Picard being a bit more like his ‘ST:Picard’ counterpart here, bloody bloody deaths, the mysterious ‘Arratia’, Section 31 is run like Starbucks’. Tech differences in Discovery, how Mirror Phillipe gets tedious really quickly, Miles talks Blake’s 7, Miles and Charlie LOVE Death Stranding, EastEnders, Tilly being earnestly hopepunk (I hate that term), Spock is a kleptomaniac,

Pedants Corner: Roj Blake is played by GARETH Thomas, not GARTH Thomas
