HT.057 Bread and Circuses (TOS)

Humanist Trek ·

2023/10/12

The TOS writers once again explore the idea "What would have happened if 'x' hadn't fallen?" Not 1920's Chicago. Not Nazi Germany. No, this episode of Star Trek: The Original Series begs the question, "Men: How often do you think about the Roman Empire?"

Humanist Trek ·

2023/10/05

People's fear of automation operates on "Sarah's Pendulum Theory of Everything". In the 60's? Vehicle Manufacturing. Today? AI.

HT.055 The Omega Glory (TOS)

Humanist Trek ·

2023/09/28

When the Enterprise discovers their sister ship Exeter in orbit of a planet, they find the Exeter crew has been raptured. What’s “Left Behind” is just piles of crystal meth. Meanwhile, in a different episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, some people are doing some performative jingoistic American Christian nationalism. How are these two stories connected? Very tenuously. Play along with our Starfleet Academy Cadet Challenge -- Share this episode using the hashtag #StarfleetChallenge on

Humanist Trek ·

2023/09/14

Sarah and Allie slip on some armbands and kick march around the studio... No, I'm not doing this.

2023/08/31

When Kirk and company discover the Klingons providing arms to one side of what used to be a peaceful planet, we're reminded of the many times the USA has gotten itself involved in wars across the globe. Is it right to step in and maintain equal firepower--and where does that end? You say Gumato, I say Mugato. Let's call the whole thing off.
