Trek in the Valley

100 EPS CELEBRATION PART 2: "Lower Decks! Lower Decks!"

This week the dudes in the Valley chat about the pilot episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, "Second Contact." This episode feels like a pilot in that it introduces the characters, but it also feels like a fully formed idea with lovingly realized characters. The dudes talk about it! Next week we will be back to the ToS era crew with Star Trek: The Animated Series.
Thanks for listening to 101 episodes.

100TH EPISODE CELEBRATION PART 1: "Where No Fan Has Gone Before"

Happy 100th episode day, Trek in the Vallites!
For Part 1 of our 2 part 100th episode celebration, we are covering our first non-Star Trek show by discussing a classic episode of Futurama, which happens to feature most of the original cast of Star Trek. "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" is a hilarious bit of animation that we had a good time talking about. 
We have another fun surprise lined up for Part 2 next week as well!

Star Trek: The Animated Series "Mudd's Passion"

This week, the dudes in the Valley rip through a classic episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series, "Mudd's Passion." That's right, kiddies. Harry Mudd is Looney Tunes 2: Back in Action and he has a love potion with him. Listen to two guys discuss it!

Star Trek: The Animated Series "Yesteryear"

This week Adam and Al cover arguably the "best" episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series (as far as several goofballs on the internet think) "Yesteryear." Heavy stuff as Spock is erased from history. Mark Lenard is back as Sarek. James Doohan delivers some great character performances. Also, the Guardian of Forever is back in action. 
CW: Spock's Pet Dies! Laaaaaame.
Oh, and we are extending these episodes of the Animated Series into 2025 because we like them more than we anticipated. Next week, "Mudd's Passion".

Star Trek: The Animated Series "More Tribbles, More Trouble"

This week, the dudes in the Valley meet The Glommer. Sure, the episode is titled "More Tribbles, More Trouble", but they should have called it, "The Glommer." When the Glommer isn't on screen, the audience AND the characters are often asking, "Where is the Glommer?"

We didn't do recs on the podcast this week so Al thinks you should listen to the album "Vampire Weapon: Midnight" by Must Die! and Adam thinks you should just keep watching Lower Decks because it rules.
