Trek Marry Kill

<p>There are 967 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest we'll still watch from time to time because, why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad, it's still kinda good. </p> <p>It's a Star Trek podcast that seeks to establish the pecking order for its extensive canon. Which episodes are classic examples of Star Trek or simply good (TREK), which are all-timers (MARRY), and which are episodes that are okay to watch just once and then forget about (KILL)? </p> <p>Hosts Bryan and Kristen and the occasional special guest ask a series of questions to arrive at a final judgment, questions like, "What part of this story would be taught at Starfleet Academy?" "What's the Best Trek Trope?" "Could the episode have been hornier and would that have made it better?" and many more. It's sort of like playing F***, Marry, Kill, but a lot more fun because it's about Star Trek!</p> <p>We're trekmarrykpod on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/trekmarrykpod/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/trekmarrykpod.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://trekmarrykillpod.com/">www.trekmarrykillpod.com</a> on the web where you can see all of our standings.</p>

TOS: "Charlie X" (s1e2)

BOYS DON'T CRY in the 23rd century unless they have godlike powers like the ones a young man taken aboard the Enterprise possesses. Captain Kirk tries to teach him how to be a respectable man, until it becomes clear it's all about controlling his hormones. Do Bryan & Kristen grok an episode about a little twerp who torments the crew of the Enterprise because he's horny? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TOS: "The Man Trap" (s1e1)

SALTY EX-GIRLFRIEND. The crew of the Enterprise are stalked by a being that just wants to suck the salt from them. It's the last of its kind, you see, and only wants to live. Is that sympathetic enough, or does the fact that it has taken the form of Dr. McCoy's ex that makes it more meaningful? Bryan and Kristen investigate the very first episode of Star Trek to air and on the occasion of its 60th anniversary (though, it aired a day early in Canada). Is Star Trek's first aired adventure a TREK, MARRY, or KILL? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
