In this episode of Gimme That Star Trek, Siskoid sits down with epidemiologist Mathieu Chalifoux (AKA Chalif) to talk about the Deep Space Nine episode “Babel”. Does the crew of DS9 deal with an outbreak of aphasia virus correctly? And just what do epidemiologists DO? And sure, yeah, the current coronavirus threat is discussed. So… topical!

Star Trek: Picard just started, and I just had to talk about it with fellow Trekkies, to wit, Maggie and Jonathan Schaefer-Hames from Married with Comics, because they are also married with Star Trek. Our small but enthusiastic panel discusses the first episode, “Remembrance”, the world of TNG 20 years on, and Patrick Stewart’s graceful return to the franchise.

What did Star Trek: Voyager do wrong that armchair critics like Siskoid and Married with Comics’ Jonathan Schaefer-Hames don’t like it as much as the rest of Trek? And can these two podcasters “fix” the show by talking through their ass for 90 minutes? By the Great Bird of the Galaxy, they can at least try!

Siskoid can’t really grow a beard. Radio vs. the Martians’ Casey Doran most definitely can, and has. Perhaps that’s why he’s eminently qualified to discuss beards in the Star Trek universe. Who has them? What do they mean? Did Riker only become cool after the beard? What about Ben Sisko? We split hairs in this one, folks!

Siskoid goes it alone on this one to defend Deep Space Nine’s portrayal of the Bajoran Prophets, showing how non-linear beings can sometimes seem to act linearly, and discussing their greatest hits under one unified theory. Put your thinking caps on, this one gets both timey AND wimey.
