S1E24 - Star Trek Beyond - “Why Did I Love These Whales So Much?”

Star Trek Beyond


In this episode:


Void and Beej discuss their lifelong histories with the Star
Trek franchise. Beej was introduced to The Original Series by his
father when he was a wee tot, and Void found The Next Generation
in syndication, eventually coming to Voyage with his family.

Both guys are big fans of the Abrams reboots, and can
appreciate how the TV and film franchises are split between the
Prime universe and the Kelvin universe. That way both purists are
happy, and so are mainstream fans.

Regarding Star Trek Beyond, there are lots of spoilers in
this cast, but we do tell listeners when they start. You can be
sure that the first third to half of the show are spoiler-free,
and then we dig in on the new movie.

Overall impressions: Star Trek Beyond are beyond positive
(heh heh, get it?), and we think the series has hit its stride.
We had our origin for the universe in 2009, and Into Darkness was
a decent rehash of Wrath of Khan that established this new
timeline, and Beyond takes this series into new territory, even
beginning 3 years after the last movie ended so as to not overlap
with any of The Original Series’ storylines. It’s a full-fledged
Star Trek adventure, and while it’s not perfect, it’s fun, and we
can’t wait to see it again.
