It's time to tackle the horros of ageing - or at least the horrors of old-age makeup - as The Deadly Years hoves into view.  And along to cope with all that latex (not as fun as it sounds) is Rachel Novak!
How effective is the attempts to age up our crew? Does the episode do anything with its central premise? And just how off-handed is the ending? Plus in Recommendations we have an animated TV show and two non-animated TV shows. Which is nice.

Trade agreement required? Check. Savage local population causing trouble? Check. Lone Klingon making things worse? Check. Dumbest "ruse" in Starfleet history? Check. Why it must be Friday's Child! And to deal with a trade mission that needs all the help it can get, Dais Johnston is along for the ride!
Does the episode stand up to modern television in its approach to (let's say) feminism? Do we manage to get a convincing alien society? How much purple fur can one planet need?
Plus in Recommendations we have two TV shows and a movie.

It's time to take a journey. To Babel (well, some of the way there anyway) as the Enterprise is off on a diplomatic mission.
And to help us sift through the raft of ambassadors and murder plots we have Jack McDonald! How do the Federation politics work out? Is the family drama succesful? And given how much of a founding text this is, does it stand up to scrutiny?
Plus in Recommendations we have an anime, a movie and a TV sitcom.

What is, as Shakespeare definitely didn't write, such love between a man and a cloud? Well, let's answer that question as we tackle Metamorphosis. And to help judge the relationship between humanity and water vapour we have Jon D Arthur!
How does the episode manage to juggle its themes? Can the episode bear the weight of how significant Zephram Cochrane is going to become in the lore? Is it, in fact, any good? Plus in Recommendations we have a movie and two video games, one obscure and one very much not.

I, Mudd (with Lenny Burnham)

We're back! After taking a festive break, Talking Trek is back among the stars and ready to discuss... er, I, Mudd. And to join us in this tale of robot sex women and comedy shenanigans we have Lenny Burnham returning to the podcast!
Is the return of Harry Mudd something worth celebrating? Does the comedy of the episode land? And how do the gender politics stand up sixty years after the original transmission?
Plus in Recommendations we have a movie, a sci-fi TV show and a thriller from Apple TV.
