002 - Where apparently some have gone before

,

Welcome to Episode 2 of the To Baldly Go Podcast, in which I embark on a likely longer than 5-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out no life and new civilizations.  To Baldly Go where many have gone before…

I am starting at the beginning and watching through Star Trek in an attempt to understand why people love the show as much as they do, and just maybe come to like it myself.

In this week’s episode I am joined by Abbie and Nate and we discuss:

  • Star Trek: The Original Series episodes - Charlie X and Where No Man Has Gone Before

  • What does it mean to be a man?

  • Kirk awkwardly handling “the talk” with Charlie and leaving him with some really odd advice

  • More lizards!

  • Nate and Abbie discuss other series and their terrible episodes while I just listen - I have so much to look forward to

  • I am in new territory, not knowing much about what lies ahead, and just sitting back and enjoying the ride

  • A strong recommendation for Season 5 of 24

Until next time –

Never give up!  Never surrender!

001 - The Failed Pilot

,

Welcome to Episode 1 of the To Baldly Go Podcast, in which I embark on a mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To Baldly Go where many have gone before…

I am starting at the beginning and watching through Star Trek in an attempt to understand why people love the show as much as they do, and just maybe come to like it myself.

In this week’s episode, we discuss:

  • Star Trek: The Original Series episodes - The Cage and The Man Trap

  • My realization that I have already messed up my entire plan to watch the series in order

  • Our backgrounds with Star Trek. You can find my background in Episode 0

  • How much more there is to discuss than any of us initially thought

Until next time -

Never give up! Never surrender!

000 - What am I doing and what do I already know?

Welcome to Episode 0 of the To Baldly Go Podcast, in which I prepare for my journey through the Star Trek franchise.

In this initial episode, I explain the genesis of this project:

  • My embarrassing first contribution to a Star Trek discussion

  • What I hope to learn and gain from this endeavor

  • Some random stuff I know about Star Trek having never really watched much beyond some of the newer movies and the first season of Picard

If you are also new to Star Trek, join me as I watch through for the first time, starting at the beginning, in an attempt to learn what it is that people love so much about these shows and movies.

If you are a certified Trekkie, live vicariously through me as I experience the voyages of the Starship Enterprise and crew for the first time, and maybe even join your ranks.

Until next time, remember -

Never give up! Never surrender!
