• From Star Trek’s Worst to Star Trek’s Best

  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.”Show page: http://www.positivelytrek.com/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/positivelytrek.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrekHelp support the podcast!

• 19th Century Technobabble

  Positively Trek 292: 19th Century TechnobabbleMaster and Commander: The Far Side of the WorldAs Star Trek fans, we often see our favourite franchise reflected in books, films, and other media that isn’t, strictly speaking, “Star Trek.” One such example is the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, adapted from the Captain Jack Aubrey novels by Patrick O’Brian. With its 19th century nautical setting, Master and Commander contains much of the DNA of other influences that eventually found their way into Star Trek, including the majesty and adventure of a highly-trained crew on a ship pushing the boundaries of exploration on the edge of the frontier.In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan talk about Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, commenting on the many parallels it has with Star Trek, cementing it as the second best Star Trek film (after, of course, Galaxy Quest)!Show page: http://www.positivelytrek.com/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/positively-trek/id1501468628BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/positivelytrek.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositivelyTrekHelp support the podcast!
