021 - Season 2 Finale and Recap

Welcome to another episode of the To Baldly Go Podcast. As usual, I am joined by my wife, Abbie, and our friend Nate, as we discuss: The final two episodes of Season 2: Bread and Circuses and Assignment: Earth Abbie is over The Original Series More episodes we feel like we’ve seen before Prime Directive Kirk’s character judging abilities Parallel development vs Earth influence Religious references Dropping the things that worked in Season 1 South Park: Cartoon Wars and Star Trek Mad Libs Will Abbie still enjoy other Star Trek series after this? Will I become a bigger Trekkie than Abbie? Our scoring system is like Who’s Line is it Anyway? Would Kirk risk his crew to save Spock and Bones? Another Gene Roddenberry episode Are fun character traits a crutch? Lazy? Do Star Trek characters make something a Star Trek story? Spinoffs! Do Star Trek and Doctor Who take place in the same universe? How shows are influenced by the time in which they are made Top shows from the late 1960s Fewer “timeless” stories in Season 2 More discussion about technological evolution faster than biological evolution Bioshock spoilers The choice of character names can tell a lot Overall ratings of season 2 Different ways to experience TV Our next plans
