Man Vs. Machine

Does your favorite sci-fi show have an episode where humanity grapples with it's own technological creations and the concept of what it means to be human? For Stella Cheeks, it's the Star Trek TOS episode "The Ultimate Computer" and for Erin Cline, it's the X-Files episodes "Kill Switch". Join Stella and Erin as they discuss what it means to be "living", if machines created by humans could ever be "perfect", and which characters truly don't care and just want these metal menaces to DIE! #wargames #badbotsgetshot --- About the podcast: Erin Cline and Stella Cheeks have been friends for over a decade but have never seen each other's favorite TV show. Seeking to rectify that grievous error (seriously, they used to live together), X-Treks was born! Each week the duo choose one episode from Star Trek: The Original Series and one episode from The X-Files that fits a previously chosen cinematic theme, watch them together, and share their feelings! Alongside producer Bobby Hoffman, they discuss their first impressions, how the episodes fit into the larger fan lore, and fascinating behind-the-scenes facts. --- Follow The X-Treks Crew Twitter: @nydproductions #xtrekspod @Stella_Cheeks @Haberdasher9k Instagram: @NYDErnGenC
