The lost Pre-Christmas Episode
When we looked back, we went "Whoops!! We forgot to publish this!"
The hosts open with a lighthearted announcement: Warp My TARDIS has been nominated for a Podcast Tonight Award, including the Listener’s Choice category, and listeners are encouraged to vote.
The episode begins with banter about recording on an unusual day due to Frankenmas, a quirky annual tradition involving cheese, charcuterie, and a towering papier‑mâché Frankenstein. This leads into a discussion of gaming friends, character lore, and the ongoing Rift Kickers D&D campaign.
The tone shifts as the hosts address several tragic news events, including the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, the Bondi Beach tragedy, and the Brown University shooting. They reflect on Reiner’s legacy—especially The Princess Bride—and the heartfelt responses from the entertainment community. They also note the passing of actor Peter Greene, known for The Mask, Pulp Fiction, and Justified.
The conversation moves into Star Trek news, focusing heavily on Strange New Worlds. With principal photography wrapping in Mississauga, cast members like Jess Bush, Christina Chong, Dan Jeannotte, and Martin Quinn have shared emotional farewell posts. The hosts reflect on how Strange New Worlds revitalized their love of Trek, praising its balance of characters, storytelling, and its thoughtful homage to classic Trek sensibilities. They also discuss secondary characters they hope will get more spotlight before the series concludes. They briefly touch on the upcoming Starfleet Academy series, noting mixed fan reactions and early leaked footage.
Other Trek chatter includes the new LEGO Enterprise‑D set—complete with a humorous typo on the dedication plaque—and a fan‑made “All Good Things” variant built from two sets. The episode closes by shifting to Doctor Who: both hosts have watched the first episode of The War of Land and Sea. They note that it’s a heavier, more challenging watch, especially since the Doctor does not appear, changing the usual narrative tension.
