About this listen

 There are 967 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest we'll still watch from time to time because, why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad, it's still kinda good. It's a Star Trek podcast that seeks to establish the pecking order for its extensive canon. Which episodes are classic examples of Star Trek or simply good (TREK), which are all-timers (MARRY), and which are episodes that are okay to watch just once and then forget about (KILL)? Hosts Bryan and Kristen and the occasional special guest ask a series of questions to arrive at a final judgment, questions like, "What part of this story would be taught at Starfleet Academy?" "What's the Best Trek Trope?" "Could the episode have been hornier and would that have made it better?" and many more. It's sort of like playing F***, Marry, Kill, but a lot more fun because it's about Star Trek!

    SISKO FAMILY REUNION. For the first time in Trek Marry Kill's history, a member of the Star Trek team beams aboard to judge their own episode. Episode director David Livingston offers up his thoughts on Odo's feelings, casting decisions, shot selection, and the scene Colm Meaney really loved to do as well as his choices for his best-directed episodes of DS9 and Voyager, but what grade will he give his own work: TREK, MARRY, or KILL? David has directed more episodes of Star Trek than anyone on the planet and has talked about his journey with the franchise many other places. Here are just a few of his recent appearances: Mission Log: The One with David Livingston « Mission Log Podcast TrekMovie.com's All Access: Podcast: All Access Goes Behind The Camera On ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ With Director David Livingston – TrekMovie.com Salon Trek: https://www.youtube.com/live/sBgNbsoLq80?si=lLYriwbUoiqdG1Mp He also suggests that if you're in a giving spirit or interested in Trek-adjacent charities, there's the Hollywood Food Coalition (https://www.hofoco.org/) and PanCAN, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (https://pancan.org/).

    TNG: "Conspiracy" (s1e25)
    Jan 6 2026
    A REAL HEADACHE. Star Trek dips into pod people conspiracy territory with a complete outlier in the canon when it comes to graphic violence. It's an episode timed perfectly (?) to the 5-year anniversary of the January 6th Riot in Washington, D.C. Does it have enough campy charm to keep it out of Bryan and Kristen's phaser sight?

    SEVERE PEANUT ALLERGY. Bryan and Katie navigate the return of **REDACTED** as the Cerritos crew is badgered by AI from their past. Meanwhile, in the other half of our animated spotlight, the two hosts wonder if the postmodern spin on a TV flashback episode delights or is more concept than execution.
