Trek Marry Kill: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Trek Marry Kill
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. 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)? 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!

TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver" (s1e10)
KIRK'S FIRST BLUFF. The episode that was intended to be the first episode to air but didn't have completed visual FX yet winds up being a really great 10th episode and marks the turning point of the first season that puts Star Trek on its course for 60 years of cultural relevance. Bryan and Kristen tackle a classic, and if that tips our final grade... so be it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
- 1 weeks ago1h 11m
TOS: "Dagger of the Mind" (s1e9)
THE MIND MELD debuts in this episode about mental health... sort of. When the Enterprise catches a stowaway from a Federation Funny Farm, they travel back to investigate and discover another mad scientist who thinks he's built a machine that makes people better by giving him control over them. Important note: This episode was recorded before last week's double whammy of bad news: the deaths of Walter Koenig and Patrick Stewart. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TOS: "Miri" (s1e8)
KIRK, BRO, WTF? Captain Kirk flirts with a "teen" girl to get information about a planet that fell apart when the olds experimented with life prolongation. It turns out it had the opposite effect where the old people went nuts and the youth were trapped in a near-forever youth. Is this a Star Trek or another exploration of eugenics and sexuality, the two themes driving the first half of the first season of The Original Series? Learn more about your ad choices.

- 3 weeks ago1h 22m
TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" (s1e7)
CRAZY EX-BOYFRIEND? Kirk and Chapel meet up with a famous scientist whose expedition to a desolate world has led to the discovery of life prolongation technology. The twist? You must become an android. But are Bryan & Kristen impressed by the way this story is told or dismayed by its treatment of women? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

TOS: "Mudd's Women" (s1e6)
GLP-FUN? The Enterprise beams aboard one of the most obnoxious characters in the history of the franchise along with some "beautiful women-hookers" in an episode that seems designed to drive Bryan and Kristen insane. But does this 60-year old piece of television manage to make a positive impression? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
- Oct 6, 20261h 1m
ENT: "Strange New World" (s1e3)
BECAUSE IT'S THERE? The Enterprise joyrides to an Earth-like planet and gets into trouble when the landing party begins to hallucinate thanks to the alien pollen. Is this humanity's best proving our mettle or Teddy Rooseveltesque adventuring where perhaps we shouldn't belong? Also, Archer brings his dog. Also, why wasn't this the second episode of the series? Bryan and Kristen try and fail to understand what happened. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

**RERUN** TOS: "The Enemy Within" (s1e5)
For Star Trek's 60th, we're releasing new episodes on their original airdate. But for those we've already done, we're offering a repeat PLUS an episode of Enterprise to celebrate its 25th anniversary. KIRK'S TOXIC MASCULINITY is unleashed after a transporter accident involving mystery ore from a freezing planet splits him into his Negative Side and Positive Side. This mascara'd drunk sexually assaults Yeoman Rand. Meanwhile, the Positive Side winds up being the passive side and his inaction and softness begins to offend Mr. Spock! It's an episode that only could've been written in the 1960s and it should come as no surprise that its general statement about the darkness inside every man comes from a Twlight Zone writer -- it's a very Twlight Zone message. For your consideration: Bryan and Kristen play Trek Marry Kill with it and see if the episode holds up despite sexual assault, a dog in a dragon costume, and an inexplicable storyline where the ship can't send down a shuttle to rescue Sulu & some redshirts!

- Sep 29, 20261h 24m
TOS: "The Naked Time" (s1e4)
THE POLYWATER PROBLEM. The crew of the Enterprise begins to experience space madness after encountering some weird water cooked up on an ancient planet in the process of collapsing in on itself. Their deepest fears and most intense desires rise to the surface, and a plucky Irish crewmember seemingly strands them in a decaying orbit. Can Kirk & Spock get it together before the ship is thrown into oblivion? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
