22. Star Trek: The Original Series

Steven, Benjamin, and Sean beam back to the Original Series; the three seasons of Trek that started it all. It’s fond nostalgia overall, especially for the iconic brilliance of Seasons 1 and 2, where the stories hit warp speed, the ideas were truly “final-frontier-level,” and Shatner’s shirt seemed contractually obligated to be torn every third episode. We dive into classic adventures, legendary characters, colourful alien encounters, and the utterly charming mix of philosophy, fistfights, and futurism that made TOS the blueprint for everything that came after. As for Season 3 though, let’s just say its dilithium crystals were running a bit low.
