Episode 275 – When Star Trek Respected Itself

Mack opens the show with a heartfelt appreciation on the life and passing of James Van Der Beek, who portrayed a character that affected him greatly when he was in high school. Then the guys delve into three episodes that celebrated the 25th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of Star Trek; Unification from TNG, Flash Back from Voyager, and Trials and Tribble-ations from DS9. They explore how each show used existing story lines in their shows to help bring appreciation for the TOS before it. Mack acknowledges how the writers did their best to honor what Star Trek was by carrying the torch faithfully. And he may have made a derisive remark about Starfleet Academy. #StarTrekAnniversary #TNG #Unification #DS9 #Trialsandtribbilations #Voyager #Flashforward #JamesVanDerBeek #DawsonsCreek ---------------- Visit our site! https://www.thosescifiguys.com Buy Mack's latest book Hey Stranger here: https://a.co/d/6ZHZZMX Contact: Email: [email protected] X: @thosescifiguys, @PSMcKay Facebook: Those Sci-Fi Guys
