#StarTrek just keeps saying the quiet part out loud in its final season. This week, Trek takes on the class inequality in the US and beyond. Will our own "Cloud Minders" ever give the rest of us equity? Why didn't Bernie Sanders land a cameo?

When Star Trek trades in Cowboy Diplomacy for Marriage Diplomacy, Sarah and Allie find themselves in a very discomforting place. Why is the Federation forcing this woman to go through with the diplomatic marriage she doesn’t want? Why are the Klingons even in this episode? What even are those stones in that necklace, anyway?

edit: Thinking about buying some classic lego space torsos in yellow, red and blue and combine with black pants. that would give a bit of a ST feeling to them.
When Spock’s brain is stolen by dopey aliens, Kirk, Bones, and Scotty take RC Spock on Star Trek: The Search for Spock’s Brain – Weekend at Bernie’s style. Brain and brain! What is brain?! You’re not high enough for this episode.
When powerful aliens capture Kirk and the gang with another Landru device, the crew defeat them with irritation, jealousy, and boners. Roll for initiative!
Sarah and Allie slip on some armbands and kick march around the studio… No, I’m not doing this. I refuse to put swastikas on our cartoons and there’s no good jokes to write here about this literal Nazi episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. Listen to this episode, punch a Nazi, and learn from history.
When Kirk and company discover the Klingons providing arms to one side of what used to be a peaceful planet, we’re reminded of the many times the USA has gotten itself involved in wars across the globe. Is it right to step in and maintain equal firepower–and where does that end? You say Gumato, I say Mugato. Let’s call the whole thing off.
Sarah and Allie board the Magic School Bus and shrink down to microscopic size. As the bus penetrates a giant space amoeba’s boundary… actually, maybe this is all too dirty to make jokes about a kid’s TV show.
Join us as we blast some antimatter inside a nucleus. Seriously, did these writers know what they were doing?
Audio clip from the Humanist Trek Podcast episode #50 reviewing Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Immunity Syndrome". Features episode artwork against a transporter graphic on a purple background. Video includes captions.
When Allie and Sarah find themselves on a planet based on a book about 1920’s #Chicago#mobsters the episode encounters way more tangents and accents than usual. What might happen to a culture if a people came along and just dropped off a book? Ask Africa. And Haiti. And…
What's all this about "The other one?" and "Our question?" Listen to find out!
When Kirk, Chekov, and Uhura find themselves captive to "Providers" and forced to fight for their amusement, slavery is put on blast in this #progressive episode of #StarTrekTheOriginalSeries
Has anyone ever noticed how weird it is that no one on #Starfleet carries anything in their pockets in #STTOS (excluding the movies), #TNG, #DS9, or #STVoyager? On missions they get a phaser and a tricorder and that's it? WTF is up with that?
How many episodes would have easily been solved if they were just slightly prepared? I get it's not military so they don’t have side arms but what about a flashlight? A multitool? Maybe a first aid kit when they head down to the planet?
Why isn't anyone on the bridge armed? What about engineering? The two points where someone could literally get in and either destroy or take over the ship -- and nobody is ever armed.
It's like the only standard equipment they get is the combadge and uniform. Like working at McDonalds, here's your name tag and a weird polo shirt and you're good to go. Go save the universe.
Reminder for all you #StarTrek fans that Kirk and Spock ARE gay for each other! In fact Gene Roddenberry was thinking of Alexander the Great and Hephaistion when he created their characters. And if it weren't for hordes of fans writing Kirk/Spock slashfic and demanding more of the series, we probably wouldn't have the movies and later series. #STTOS#Spirk
Please enjoy this #StarTrek#NIN mashup of Kirk/Spock sexual tension with "Closer" (the "I wanna fuck you like an animal" song). The editing is perfect.
