Episode 23 - Dagger of the Mind

00:00 / 37.46

We are delighted to be back with another edition of Whom Pods Destroy. In this episode we discuss the early Season 1 episode of Star Trek The Original Series called Dagger of the Mind.

We see for the first time the Vulcan mind meld in this episode. Dagger of the Mind also resonates today with its themes on abuse of power, misplaced trust and issues regarding our penal systems. There is also some stonking trivia relating to one of the show’s guest stars, Marianna Hill.

In this edition of Whom Pods Destroy we continue our musings on The City On The Edge Of Forever by discussing writer Harlan Ellison’s original teleplay to the series which was heavily rewritten, much to the anger of Mr Ellison.

We offer our opinions of the script and ask if the rewrites improved it or were justified.

Episode 18: Star Trek The Original Series and the Science Fiction New Wave

00:00 / 51:00

In this episode Graham, Terry and Derek discuss the New Wave of Science Fiction in the 1960s and its relationship with Star Trek. The centrepiece of our topic is on the seminal anthology of short stories and novellas called Dangerous Visions, edited by Harlan Ellison and with contributions by fellow Star Trek alums Robert Bloch, Theodore Sturgeon and Norman Spinrad.

The conversation blossoms into other aspects of the New Wave and its progenitors in other media including the Marvel and DC Universes.

In this edition of Whom Pods Destroy, Terry, Graham and Derek discuss the classic episode of Star Trek The Original Series: Amok Time.

Episode 16: The United Federation of Planets

00:00 / 34:46

Our latest episode is all about the United Federation of Planets, the interplanetary alliance that holds of core values of Star Trek. We ask if the Federation is in fact a benevolent democratic institution or an insidious empire that uses its financial might to coerce or even subjugate. Our conversation also reflects Gene Roddenberry’s “vision” of the human condition and we ask if this is remains relevant.
