This week on #TrekPolitics it's another problematic and, frankly, gross Harry Mudd episode in which we learn he's been having sex with 500 female androids somehow. Mary and Bob break it all down. Stick around for #Bobservations!

On the next #TrekPolitics. Harry Mudd returns with 500 sex dolls "to attend" him. This is "I, Mudd." Sunday 6pm ET. trekpolitics.com
Far worse than Turnabout.
New #TrekPolitics! "Mudd's Women" from early in season one of the original series is missing a key element that would've saved it from being a sexist mess. Stick around for #Bobservations!

Next on #TrekPolitics. Sex trafficking, addiction, sexism, objectification, body image issues, and "Mudd's Women." Drops Sunday at 6pm ET. trekpolitics.com
New #TrekPolitics! This week, Mary and Bob talk about "The Ultimate Computer" and its extremely prescient warnings about AI. Also, lots of discussion about the billionaire sociopaths who control it.

Next on Trek Politics: "The Ultimate Computer" Sunday 6pm ET. trekpolitics.com
This week, we analyze perhaps the greatest episode of Star Trek (TOS) "Balance of Terror." A Romulan attack, a wedding interrupted, a bigot on the bridge, Captain Kirk in serious mode, and Uhura Triumphant! Join us.

Best Bobservations yet! This is also spot-on in terms of where this ballyhooed episode succeeded and failed. Great podcast ep from @trekpolitics.bsky.social

The best part of doing my podcast is getting to play songs submitted to me by indie recording artists. And this one by Keturah Allgood is among the most beautiful. Take a second and listen.

On his birthday, we remember the great composer Jerry Goldsmith, who wrote the musical scores for five Star Trek movies and the main title themes for Star Trek TNG and Voyager. What's your favorite Goldsmith score, Star Trek or otherwise?
Finally, a reason to watch the Super Bowl... and it's the Enterprise.

I would like to second this idea

I made Mary laugh out loud *and* facepalm with my nerdy nitpicks of "Plato's Stepchildren." We also had a great talk about the politics of this episode and the wonderful performance of little person Michael Dunn.

This TOS episode is super weird. A roller coaster of emotions and both great and over-the-top performances.
New #TrekPolitics! It's the one with interracial kiss and some damn fine acting from Nichelle Nichols and Michael Dunn.

"Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" (Star Trek: TOS) was bold for 1969, but it didn't go nearly far enough and pulled a both-sides false equivalence between the enslaved and enslaver. trekpolitics.com
You should add "Slavery By Another Name" by @douglasblackmon.bsky.social to your Black History Month reading list. trekpolitics.com

Anyone else get Guy Fleegman vibes from Ocam Sadal

IMHO this is one of our strongest episodes. Neo-slavery, Jim Crow, the both-sidesing of racism, and as always some fun #Bobservations at the end.
