Episode 213 - TNG - Clues
Guinan gets to leave Ten Forward for a Dixon Hill mystery, but not for long!
Your free episode this month is our review of Star Trek the Next Generation season 4 episode ‘Clues’. The Enterprise seems to go through a worm hole and everyone is knocked out for a few seconds. Or so Data claims. But what’s this? Worf’s wrist has been broken and healed and Bev’s moss has a day’s growth. Is Data lying? What is going on?

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Meets Vintage Ep. The Changeling
1960s Uhura re-learns English after having her mind wiped whilst teaching Nomad about singing.
Meanwhile 2022 Uhura puts her language expertise to the test on her very first mission.
This week we are revisiting The Changeling from The Original Series, through the fresh eyes of Strange New Worlds Episode 2 - Children of the Comet.
We introduce our 2017 episode on The Changeling by making links to the Uhura-centric Children of the Comet and comparing the portrayals of her character. We also draw on classic TOS episode The Paradise Syndrome - which deals with another comet heading for a planet and the unlocking of alien technology through music.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Meets Vintage Ep. The Cage
Remember when Spock smiled at dancing flowers?
We have just started watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Have you seen it yet? It’s already Chris’ favourite new Trek. It has got lots of warm, fuzzy nostalgia from TOS, especially its original pilot episode The Cage, featuring Pike, Spock and Number One.
Here we pair episode 1 of Strange New Worlds with our review of The Cage. Listen back to our very first episode to compare the 1960s and 2022 approaches to Caprain Pike Trek.
Three pilots for the price of one! Strange New Worlds, The Original Series (original pilot) and the pilot of this podcast.
