For Star Trek's 60th anniversary, we're bringing together a massive panel across about 7 time zones to talk about one of the best television series ever. That's right, we're talking about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Well, we're scratching the surface, at least.

Starfleet Academy season one has finished airing, and according to chuds on the internet, it's far too woke for Star Trek. Have those chuds never watched Star Trek?

We talk about how great Garak is, and also explore how Star Trek fan fiction got started, how women were a driving force behind it, and how it helps fill in the blank...
Bonus: Did you know that Bill Nye -- that science-affiliated guy -- has a family relation to the whaling industry? This is a sample of the extra discussions that take place before and after each podcast recording, and it is normally only available to members. We thought the conversation was too good not to share with everyone and to show non-members what they can get when they upgrade.

While we are welcoming to fans of all types, the "Bad Fans" that talk about Trek being "too woke" or taking Trek too seriously don't understand why Trek has endured. This year is the 60th anniversary of the franchise, and it has endured because it is inherently funny. It always has been.
