What’s less casual than the Maquis? This episode we’re watching our first non-pilot two-parter with “The Maquis” which introduces some Federation rebels, something you didn’t often see apart from in the occasional colony as a one-off problem. Well, these folks are going to be a bit tricky both as a problem and an existential threat to the concept of the Federation. At least, that’s the potential of them. We watch a couple of episodes which aired around a fortnight apart and had different levels of effectiveness at showing the Maquis.Talking points include: WM Akers’ roleplaying game “Comrades” which Charlie ran in the Age of Apocalypse one time, Blake’s 7 (a lot), doing a Starfleet irl, BBC’s Ghosts, The French Resistance, Falcon & The Winter Soldier, The Krakoan Age of X-Men, Boris Johnson’s undisclosed amount of children, Succession but with Gul Dukat, Phantom Menace Trade Route Chat, Babylon 5, ruining your 90’s pop childhood by looking into Ace of Base, Mandalorian Season Three, Farscape, the ‘five years later’ Legion of Super-Heroes, Lovely Bryan Fuller, oh, and occasionally Star Trek.Casual Trek is by Charlie Etheridge-Nunn and Miles Reid-LobattoMusic by Alfred Etheridge-NunnCasual Trek is a part of the Nerd & Tie Networkhttps://ko-fi.com/casualtrekMiles’ blog: http://www.mareidlobatto.wordpress.com Charlie’s blog: http://www.fakedtales.com
