SpaceTrio continues podcasting in 2020! Soda and KLMeri kick-off the new year (and decade, wow!) with a two-hours-long chat about the six Original Series movies. Discussions include a brief synopsis for each movie, remarks about fan reactions, directors and novelizations, new character introductions, and the co-hosts’ personal rankings for Best and Worst movie of the bunch.

[Podcast 11] Tropes

As Soda remarks in this podcast, “…[TOS is] a treasure trove of tropes.”
Spend an hour-and-half with us as we walk through the many and varied tropes of Star Trek’s The Original Series tv show and how they thrive in fanfiction, from the fans’ perspective decades ago to current times. While TOS did not necessarily invent every trope highlighted in this podcast, the show likely re-invented the concept, inspired its popularity, or lifted it to a state of notoriety. And after listening to our fun discussion, you may just find yourself going back to some episodes to watch your favorite tropes in action!

Like other fans of the Original Series, we – your hosts – know which episodes we love best. Or believe are the best. Or the funniest. The most intelligent. So, like other fans in the highest of spirits, we each attempted to make a list of our top ten favorite episodes, ranking them and everything!

In this podcast, join us in lamenting the journey through this self-imposed task (no menial feat!), and then rejoice over the Original Series episodes which did make our lists. We tell you why. Also find out which episodes almost made the cut. And of course, share your lists!

[Podcast 09] Pairings

Join us for some brief but intense discussions of the three individual pairings – Spirk, Spones, and McKirk – which each celebrate a dynamic of the Triumvirate.  We explore what makes these pairings work, where they might originate from, why they are popular, and how prevalent they still are in the fandom today.  Your hosts – although self-proclaimed longtime fans of McSpirk – also share their favorites!

Star Trek Discovery has fans abuzz. In this episode, we take a look at reactions to the new show and review two seasons’ worth of successes and pitfalls. We walk through the cast of characters (new and returning) and discuss how Discovery fits into and further develops Star Trek canon. And enjoy listening to speculation on Season Three! Whether you already watch this show or are undecided about tuning in, this podcast isn’t to be missed!

[Podcast 07] Worst TOS Episodes

Any true fan of The Original Series will admit that part of its charm is the campiness. ALL THE CAMPINESS. But, there are times when campy becomes bad and not even the appearance of our favorite characters can save an episode from itself. In this podcast, we talk about all the bad episodes of TOS, from the funny to the truly terrible and even the ones we don’t try to remember. Enjoy this fun discussion!

[Podcast 06] Side Characters

Beyond the Triumvirate, there are several secondary and side characters of The Original Series we know and love. This two-hour podcast discusses those characters, starting with the Bridge Crew, then characters with repeat appearances, and on to fanon favorites. We ask ourselves: what are these characters’ counterparts like in Abrams ‘verse (AOS) or Discovery? Which characters make brief appearances yet have fans wholly embracing them outside of canon?

[Podcast 05] Mirror Universe

The Mirror Universe. What is it meant to be?
Listen to this podcast for in-depth discussion of how the Mirror Universe was conceptualized and its canon material expanded upon over the course of the Star Trek franchise from the Original Series to Deep Space Nine and Enterprise to the recent Discovery series.  We also look at the fanon of the Mirror Universe and typical characterizations in general as well as specifically for Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.  And of course we ponder if the McSpirk pairing can survive the “darkness” inherent to their Mirror selves!

[Podcast 04] Villains

An all-time favorite subject of any Trekkie: villains! Star Trek wouldn’t be the same without its plethora of villains, from the Original Series villains’ oddball, episodic appearances to the more fleshed-out characters/species that spanned decades. We discuss some of the favored “villainous” races like Klingons and Romulans, highlight fan-preferred or celebrated villains, and of course discuss the most infamous villain of Star Trek The Original Series – KHAAAN!

[Podcast 03] All Things McSpirk

Time to discuss a favored subject at SpaceTrio: the timelessness of McSpirk and what makes this ‘ship an interesting one – the reigning OT3 of Star Trek. From analyzing the foundation that shores it up to exploring all the cute tropes fans enjoy and a long rumination about the past loves of our favorite trio, we bring listeners an hour and a half of talk all about Kirk/Spock/McCoy. We even give some thought to the Third Wheel Syndrome which haunts the ‘ship at times!
