We are back for one last TOS episode (for now). This week is all about the one and only James T. Kirk! After giving a short introduction on the Captain's exciting and crazy life, we dive right into our favourite Kirk episodes and talk about the many facades of the first Enterprise captain. Our discussion doesn't only include his job as a Captain, but also what he means to the people around him and why he really doesn't have any hobbies. We also shed a light on the boredom issue of working on a starship and conclude our episodes on "Star Trek: The Original Series".  Also, evil tribbles attacked Paula's computer and microphone, which is why her recording isn't on the same level as it usual is. They have been beamed onto an unfriendly Klingon's ship, so we should be fine when recording our next episode.  Social Media:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/deep_space_gay Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deep_space_gay/

We are back on the Star Trek horse and continue with a new episode discussion, this time on "This Side of Paradise". After Paula explains what happens in the episode, we jump right into a discussion on it. We talk about themes and characters, what the special flowers do to their brains, and why their behaviour is mostly chill, except for when Dr. McCoy wants to beat a guy into a hospital. This one is a fun one, with a lot of jokes and laughter and some Skype-miscommunication. Come join us in our second to last "The Original Series" episode, before we say goodbye to the original Enterprise space crew!

After all this time we finally talk about one of the most famous Star Trek characters out there: Mr. Spock!  We all know him, we all love him, and today we will tell you what makes him so awesome. Together we talk about his character, his personality and his character growth and we also talk about the relationship he builds over time and universes! Not only is he one of the few Star Trek characters to die and then come back, he is also an institution in the Star Trek universe and the world would be so much sadder without him. Join us in our talk on Spock, on our thoughts on the first look at Marvel's Shang-Chi and on the many reasons why socks are awesome!

This episode is a serious one. We talk about the TOS epsiode "Patterns of Force", which is set on a planet that is similar to Nazi Germany. We are taking a look at the episode and discuss its use of language, how propaganda plays a role in the society portrayed and why facism is dangerous and problematic. We also think about the similarities between the society portrayed in "Patterns of Force" and Germany between 1925 and 1945, while also finding differences between these two societies. But not to worry, even though the subject matter of the episode is a serious one, we still find time for humour and lighthearted discussions!   Social Media:   https://twitter.com/deep_space_gay  https://www.instagram.com/deep_space_gay/

Don't let the title of the episode trick you into thinking that Dr. McCoy isn't the biggest badass on the ship!! It's finally time to talk about the first of the big three, Leonard "Bones" McCoy! In this episode we dive into the stories around the first CMO on the USS-Enterprise, his role as a surgeon, physician and psychologist, and the complicated relationship that almost emerged between his daughter, Kirk and Bones. Also, Alex quizzes Paula on her Star Trek "medical knowledge" and we learn why it wouldn't make a difference if anyone stole our brains. Come join us in this fun new episode on Dr. Grumpy himself.  Social Media: https://twitter.com/deep_space_gay https://www.instagram.com/deep_space_gay/

For this episode we are switching things up and are discussing the first ever MCU-show "WandaVision"!

Also, we talk about the MCU as a whole and try to figure out in which timeline Marvel's Agents of Shield ended up being. Spoilers for the entire first season of WandaVision and the MCU.

Today Paula and Alex are discussing the action-packed TOS episode "The Apple"! Together, we are taking a look at the exciting plot, the philosophical questions asked in the episode and the incredible acting choices made by the cast. Join us in a fun new episode, in which we not only realize why leaving the ship is in every fanfiction out there, but also think about the consequences of Starfleet engaging in other cultures and ignoring the Prime Directive!  Social Media:  https://twitter.com/deep_space_gay  https://www.instagram.com/deep_space_gay/

"They called the Enterprise a garbage scow!" Today we take a look at our favourite Scotsman, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott! We talk about his love for the U.S.S.

In this week's episode, Paula and Alex take a look at the iconic TOS episode "The Evil Within". What starts out as a fun episode with (Unicorn Dogs) vicious aliens, two Kirks and a broken transporter, quickly gets weird and kind of dark, so be warned! Come join us as we discuss what should probably be changed in Starfleet's legal system and what in the episode can still be seen in our society today.
