Positively Trek 294: From Star Trek’s Worst to Star Trek’s Best
“And the Children Shall Lead” and “The City on the Edge of Forever”
In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry take their cues from one of Dan’s favourite new podcasts: The Best Worst from hosts Meg Bashwiner and Joseph Fink. In their new show, they talk about the worst and best episodes from a classic television series as determined by the IMDB ratings. Their rules dictate that the series in question must have at least 100 episodes, which means they won’t be covering Star Trek: The Original Series! We hope to cover that oversight with this homage to their wonderful podcast as we discuss the classic Trek episodes “And the Children Shall Lead” and “The City on the Edge of Forever.”
