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

Episode 13: The Galileo Seven

00:00 / 46:26

Graham, Derek and Terry are back for another edition of Whom Pods Destroy – A Star Trek discussion podcast.

In this episode we focus on a classic from the first season of Star Trek – The Original Series: The Galileo Seven. This episode is one of the cornerstones in what we would now characterise as Mr Spock’s story arc. However, there is a lot more to take away from this: the role of Mr Boma, played by the brilliant Don Marshal and the existence, or otherwise, of Commissioner Ferris.

Episode 12: The Doomsday Machine and the tragic end of Matt Decker

00:00 /

Join us for another episode of Whom Pods Destroy – A Star Trek discussion podcast.

On this edition Terry, Graham and Derek discuss the Original Series episode, The Doomsday Machine. This is the story of Commodore Matt Decker who, wracked with guilt at having lost the entire crew of his ship the USS Constellation to an horrific alien doomsday weapon is prepared to risk the lives of the Enterprise and prepared to sacrifice his own in order to atone for perceived error in judgment.

This episode is a contemporary warning abut the perils of weapons of mass destruction but also ripples thought the Star Trek franchise with links to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and, according to Graham at least, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan.

Episode 8: A Piece Of The Action and Patterns Of Force

00:00 / 41.44

In terms of aesthetic, A Piece Of The Action and Patterns Of Force are two of the most iconic episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series but are they any good?

In this episode of Whom Pods Destroy Derek, Terry and Graham talk about these two second season episodes. We speculate as to what, if anything, they were trying to say culturally and politically. We also examine Patterns Of Force’s very specific contribution to fan fiction.
