This week on Treks and Tangents, we step into the rocky wasteland of Arena from The Original Series. It’s fists, homemade cannons, questionable chemistry skills, and the slowest lizard in the galaxy. Grab a bamboo tube and watch this story of the Tortoise Gorn and the Hare Captain!

Greetings and felicitations!

Quite the quirky, quizzical quadrant of Treks and Tangents this week, as we quietly queue up questions, quandaries, and quality commentary from the episode "The Squire of Gothos". Quirky characters, questionable choices, and quintessentially Trek tech collide while we quiz the episode’s quiet tensions, quick reversals, and quasi-philosophical twists.

Queue it up, grab a questionable beverage, and join us for a quippy, quotable, quality-controlled conversation that proves Star Trek remains endlessly quotable, occasionally questionable, and always worth the quest.

Hip-hip-horrah and Tallyho!

This week on Treks and Tangents, we divert to explore the episode "The Galileo Seven". We discuss how a stupid decision to send the top members of your crew out to explore a space quasar in a tin can will always lead to disaster. Join us as we dodge giant spears made of pool noodles and learn how Spock logically plots out steps for weight loss.

This week on Treks and Tangents, it’s "Shore Leave": the episode where the Enterprise goes on vacation, no one questions anything, and everyone has fun (eventually).

Between imaginary tigers, fairy-tale princesses, and everybody's favorite Fighting Irishmen, the crew learns that even R&R is hard work.

Paradise has problems, and we absolutely have thoughts. Join us to see why Holodecks were invented!

In this episode of Treks and Tangents, we’re diving deep into "Balance of Terror"—aka the moment Star Trek basically reinvented Submarine Battles in Space!

We struggle to explain how the Enterprise and the Romulan ship end up locked in a silent duel, why this episode still rules decades later, and how Star Trek used helmets to save money.

This week: our Star Trek newbie and resident Trek expert dive head-first into Shakespearean drama, a murder mystery in space, and one very suspicious guy with a metal mask. Is he a brilliant thespian… or a genocidal space war criminal? Is Kirk developing feelings for his daughter and ready to run away and join the circus, or is he again using his charm to use a lady? All of this and more, this episode!

Trapped in a chair, trapped in Talosian mind games, and trapped listening to Spock explain himself again. This week we wrap up The Menagerie, Part 2 where illusions run wild, Starfleet rules get bent, and the real question is whether Pike is having the worst flashback episode ever. Expect feelings, philosophy, and several tangents that definitely wasn’t approved by Starfleet Command.

This week on Treks and Tangents we’re "reopening the cage" and exploring The Menagerie, Part 1. Together we'll unpack if Morse Code still exists, court-martial chaos, and exactly how much lost pilot footage can be used without being boring. Is Spock a criminal mastermind? Is Talos IV basically space therapy with a side of gaslighting? Are there no gas stations for shuttlecrafts in space?! Tune in and find out!
