About the show

Damo and Mick need to talk about Star Trek. It's not a passion, it's a requirement. These conversations have historically happened in pubs or in back yards, but they figure they might as well involve microphones and guests as well.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

I was going to write a detailed description about what we discussed after watching this episode of Strange New Worlds, but once I remembered the bit about what it’d be like to shag Yoda, everything else just left my brain.

Set in the far distant time of (checks notes) the year 2000, we recount a heart-warming story of how one of Janeway’s ancestors was instrumental in getting a lonely old man to shut down an independent bookshop, give up his home and his dreams, and help a gutsy, heroic corporation to establish a company town.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Damo and Mick mark the milestone of reaching the first Star Trek movie by getting sidetracked even more than usual and end up discussing Lost, The X-Files, Superman comics, US late night TV, ship enthusiasts, touch typing, and more! There's more digression than you can poke a nuclear wessel at!

Tomorrow is Yesterday

A black star flings the Enterprise back to 1969, where they snag an air force captain named Christopher, and get sultry with the computer.

Assignment: Earth

In this episode of original recipe Star Trek, April Tatro stars as Isis the cat, who accompanies some dude who teleports around and does plot exposition to a computer. Jim and Spock stand around the background to reassure everyone that this is indeed an episode of Star Trek, and not something else. Damo and Mick are joined by special guest Caili who puts on the red shirt, and they talk an awful lot about Dr Who, Sapphire and Steel, Friends, Buffy, Steven Universe, oh, and also Star Trek.
