Between The Original Series and The Next Generation, how did you express your Star Trek fandom? Siskoid meets with Rob Kelly to talk about the Trek Gap of the 70s and early 80s, a wilderness, but not quite a wasteland. And perhaps, fertile ground for fandom to grow anyway. Plus, Siskoid continues his Trek reviews by covering The Animated Series and the original cast movies, with a little help from his friends!

Siskoid sits down with Mike Lacroix of the Canadian Military History Podcast to ask the big question: Is Starfleet a military organization? And if so, how do its practices compare to those of the military in our own world? What’s wrong with Michael Burnham’s court martial? Could Dr. McCoy really be recalled into active service in The Motion Picture? And where are all the non-coms? All that and more, plus Star Trek news and your feedback.

Is Sulu the best Original Series character? Siskoid says yes. Let’s see what his guest David Ace Gutiérrez thinks. A conversation that spans the length and depth of Hikaru Sulu’s career, from astrophysicist to helmsman to captain of the Excelsior, and from George Takei to John Cho, in an attempt to dissect and explain the appeal of one of Trek’s most well-developed “lower deck” characters.

Happy 4th of July! To celebrate, the Fire & Water Network has arranged a study in imperialism, as Canadian Siskoid and American Cory Drew compare and contrast their two favorite shows, Star Trek and Doctor Who! Is each a product of its own specific empire? They go in deep, discussing the shows’ attitudes towards authority, individualism, professionalism, interventionism, and even the controversial chair agenda! Fireworks incoming!
