Mike & Emilie talk about the episode The City On The Edge Of Forever. Though it is an episode that ranks in many people's top 10 all time for Trek, Emilie complains about the eye shadow on the male actors. In their review of the latest episode of Discovery, each of them says how they believe Season 2 will end.
Amanda Jean(-Luc Picard) talks about the myth of Kirk vs Picard and *Star Trek*'s very impactful, if flawed, ethos. (Seriously, she will fight you about James T. Kirk.) She gets real tl;dr about how both captains were shaped by the eras they were written in, how Gene Roddenberry was more complex than his legacy suggests, and how positing Kirk as the jock to Picard's nerd is reductive and sloppy. Also, tune in to find out the answers to burning questions like: When did queer folks actually appear in Trek canon? Why is internal conflict equally as important as external? And why did Trek writer Ronald D. Moore go on to pen the *Battlestar Galatica* reboot and the worst man ever, Gaius Baltar? **Content warnings:** Mentions of racism, colonialism, and misogyny.

This week it's CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER. Who knew this episode came so late in Season 1? We discuss a lot of things this week. We start with all the Drama with Harlan Ellison and not just his problems writing the script and but him making it more Trek? Was Shatner a prima donna or just a actor in circumstance believing the company line that the Captain is the lead? Was Ellison's drug dealing crew a better beginning for this episode? We introduce the Trolley Problem. That's fun! We discuss if you go back in time to kill Hitler. Does anyone know what a Milk Man is these days? CAN we take Edith back to the future like in Star Trek 4? We go back and forth between Ellison's script and the final filmed script and decide which of these better in terms of Star Trek. this and more!

On this episode of Word Balloon, we take you back to last week's Marvel Press Conference where writers Brian Michael Bendis Joshua Hale Fialkov and Michel Fiffe spoke to the press about their plans for Marvel's Ultimate Comics Line. There are big changes ahead for Miles Morales, The very cosmic Ultimate Fantastic Four and the Street level hero New Ultimates .Then artist JK Woodward is back to discuss his new Star trek project. He and Robert and Scott Tipton are adapting Harlan Ellison's original series classic CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER. Ellison's original screenplay was very different and far more expensive to make than what Trek fans have seen in the original episode, but thanks to comics unlimited imagination, his story can finally be told the way he wanted.
Boy, we really wish there was an alternative to “The Alternative Factor”, because it’s almost unwatchable and we’re sorry we have to put you, our loyal listeners, through it. If it’s any consolation, the other episode this week, “The City on the Edge of Forever”, is as great as the The Original Series ever got. ...
