004 - A most annoying emotional episode

Welcome to Episode 4 of the To Baldly Go Podcast, in which I continue my mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations.  To Baldly Go where many have gone before…

I have started with Star Trek: The Original Series 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 again joined by Abbie and Nate and we discuss:

  • Our completely individual and subjective rating systems to grade each episode

  • Star Trek: The Original Series episodes – Mudd’s Women and What Are Little Girls Made Of?

  • Catfishing in the ‘60s

  • Links between The Original Series and Next Generation

  • Starfleet hasn’t been referenced yet?

  • You either believe in yourself or you don’t.  Confidence is the ultimate beauty

  • A perfect segue to the next episode

  • A major disagreement

  • Antagonism toward androids somehow turns into Data on the bridge?

  • The Ship of Theseus

  • Are androids a threat to humanity?

  • HP Lovecraft connections

  • What was available to watch in the 1960s vs. today

  • Revisiting our scores for the first few episodes

Until next time –

Never give up!  Never surrender!
