Gene L. Coon had an incredibly influential run as a writer and producer during the first two seasons of Star Trek. This week, the EARTH STATION TREK crew will take a look at his pseudonymous contributions to Star Trek’s third season, including “Spock’s Brain,” “Spectre of the Gun,” “Wink of an Eye,” and “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.” We also discuss Amazon’s decision to to bury the new Stargate series and revisit This Week in Star Trek!

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 2 “Anomaly” now that Bill and Maria have watched it and have lots of opinions on how much we all hate that torture storyline. Plus, in our Mammary Alpha segment we discuss the curious case of the two Crewman Fullers.  

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “Spaceballs: The Star Trek Episode!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

Section 31 was originally meant to be a new Star Trek TV series on Paramount Plus. The Covid-19 pandemic put those plans on hold. By the time that the pandemic was over, Michelle Yeoh’s career had been catapulted into the stratosphere by Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Wanting to continue working with Yeoh Paramount re-tooled the series as a stand-alone movie and had the script rewritten 11 times. In this episode we take a look at the Section 31 movie. We discuss its placement within the Star Trek canon. We talk about whether it’s a good vehicle for the Georgiou character. We also debate how this would have held up a series. We also examine the plot and characters and get into how each element worked within the film.

Since we have four guests this week, we do not have a five-minute controversy.

This week Stephanie is cohost and Keith, Assad, and Nate join the cast.

Flopcast episode 734! In the early 80s, video games were so popular that they inspired a weird pack of Saturday morning cartoons. The Pac-Man cartoon was first, and was soon followed by Saturday Supercade, Dragon’s Lair, and Pole Position. Saturday Supercade featured short segments based on several games: Donkey Kong (both original and Junior), Frogger, Kangaroo, Pitfall, Q*Bert, and Space Ace. And this week we’re joined by Eclectic Lee, a longtime friend of the Flopcast, for a Top 4 1/2 List of characters from these goofy shows. Along the way, we’ll discuss the voice actors, the games themselves, and the mystery of Quickclaw, Pitfall Harry’s eyepatch-wearing pet lion. Maybe Frogger can help us, since according to his cartoon, he isn’t just a frog who gets squished by trucks. He’s also an investigative journalist.

The Music of 1986 (Part 2)

We continue our examination of the year 1986 by talking about the albums that were released in the second half of the year. Metal and rap were reigning supreme with releases from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, and The Beastie Boys, but pop and rock offered up some really strong records as well with major releases from Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, The Pretenders, REM, Huey Lewis and the News, and Sparks. Even The Monkees made a huge comeback for their 20th Anniversary!
