This Christmas in July, we are joined by Adam Richard on a sleigh ride that flies right past the Marvel Cinematic Universe and lands on Margot Kidder's rooftop in 1978. Which is, it turns out, not a bad place to be. It's The Return of Doctor Mysterio. Notes and links Steven Moffat's clear inspiration here is Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie (1978), an astonishingly well-made and entertaining superhero movie starring Christopher Reeve as Clark and the wonderful Margot Kidder as Lois. If you haven't seen it, put your phone down at once and go and find a copy. In Episode 271: Eels with Jazz Hands, we mentioned the previous life of director Ed Bazalgette as a member of 1980s one-hit wonder The Vapors. The one hit in question was called Turning Japanese, and it was a massive thing at the time. The CW superhero shows Peter mentions are collectively called the Arrowverse, which started just a few years before this episode aired, and which included shows like Arrow (2012), The Flash (2014), Supergirl (2015) and Legends of Tomorrow (2016), featuring our very own Arthur Darvill. Ang Lee's unloved film Hulk (2003) liberally used comic book panels to transition between scenes (in a way far more sophisticated than what's attempted in this Doctor Who episode). This brief video will give you the idea. It was Adam's job to watch Series 10 of Doctor Who as a regular on the ABC's Doctor Who aftershow Whovians, which covered Series 10 to 12 and screened a day or so after each episode aired. Brendan mentions the Matt Fleischer animated Superman films from the 1940s, particularly the kinds of villains this version of Superman routinely fought. In the second film, The Mechanical Monsters (1941), Superman confronts a group of giant robots who rob banks and museums and inspire artists and filmmakers for generations. Go and watch it at once. Attractive Coal Hill Academy student Ram loses a leg in the first episode of the Doctor Who spin-off Class, which screened over eight weeks leading up to the start of December 2016. And then no one ever mentioned it or even thought about it ever again. Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993) was an insanely popular television show in the 1990s, starring Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane and featuring the incredibly beautiful Dean Cain as Clark. (He's a horrid alt-right nutcase these days, which is a grim warning to all of us, I suppose.) Follow us Nathan is on X as @nathanbottomley, Brendan is @brandybongos, and Adam is @adamrichard. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. Adam Richard's daily Doctor Who podcast is called Adam Richard Has a Theory: it's the place to find Adam's hot-to-lukewarm takes and wild-to-really-quite-sensible theories about everything Doctor Who. You can follow Flight Through Entirety on Mastodon and Bluesky, as well as on X and Facebook. Our website is at flightthroughentirety.com.

And more You can find links to all of the podcasts we're involved in on our podcasts page. But here's a summary of where we're up to right now. 500 Year Diary is our latest new Doctor Who podcast, going back through the history of the show and examining new themes and ideas. It's first season came out early this year, under the title New Beginnings. Check it out. It will be back for a second season early in 2025. The Second Great and Bountiful Human Empire has broadcast our hot takes on every new episode of Doctor Who since November last year, and it will be back again in 2025 for Season 2. There's also Startling Barbara Bain, our Space: 1999 commentary podcast. We've covered the first five episodes of Series 1; Episode 6 should be out in the next couple of weeks. The Three Handed Game is a podcast on The Avengers and The New Avengers. In the most recent episode, Brendan, Richard and Steven watched an episode from Diana Rigg's first series, Two's a Crowd. Brendan's gaming podcast is called The Bjay BJ Game Show, and in its most recent episode, Brendan and Bjay visited some tilt-shifted Minecraft-inspired holiday destinations in The Touryst. And finally there's our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. Last week, we visited the centre of the galaxy and met up with the Devil (who seemed nice) in an inexpensively produced episode of The Animated Series called The Magicks of Megas-Tu.

Star Trek: The Animated Series, Series 1, Episode 8. First broadcast on Saturday 27 October 1973. This week, with a budget of dozens of crisp American dollars at their disposal, Joe and Nathan pull out their smocks, palettes, easels and oils in order to bring you a lavishly illustrated story of human creativity and achievement in a 25-minute episode you won't be embarassed to show your kids. Or not terminally embarrassed, anyway.

This week Star Trek asks, "What if what humans thought were witches and devils were actually aliens?" If some people are simply innately driven and motivated by fear, how do we leverage our own humanism to meet them where they are and drive society forward instead of backward?

Vicky think that Spock goes back to vulcan but he doesn't and Vicky is very close on episode 8

Tread Perilously's annual Star Trek month continues with a look at Star Trek: The Animated Series and the episode called "The Magicks of Megas-Tu." When the Enterprise's latest mission takes them to the center of the galaxy -- yes, you read that right -- they find Megas-Tu, a world where the usual rules of matter and physics are set aside for something that can only be described as magick. There, the crew meets Lucien, a jovial goatman who regrets ever leaving the Earth. Unfortunately, the arrival of the Enterprise leads to a rather literal witch hunt with Kirk, Spock, and the others on trial and professing their sympathy for the devil. Justin argues TAS fits into the Original Series ethos. He also adds Night of the Lepus to The Full Peril watch list. Erik tries to remember the stated stardate for once. The imprecise use of the term "quadrant" is discussed. Gene Roddenberry's proclivities, naturally, come up again. The Filmation method is critiqued. The story's focus on the Devil leads to a lot of talk about the development of both Judaism and Christianity. Baphomet's PR team succeeds in restoring his rep. Erik has trouble with the Charm of Making. Various gods are cast with older actors. James Doohan ends up the episode MVP and even the Ancient Astronaut Theory makes its way into the proceedings.

This week on our show, Captain Ingle and I bring you another animated double feature. First, we set a course for the 23rd century and the continuation of Captain Kirk's historical five-year mission, and secondly we travel to the late 24th century and the continuing misadventures of the USS Cerritos.

While on a scientific mission to explore the core of the galaxy, the Enterprise crew meets an enthusiastic satyr-like figure named Lucien, who offers to show them the magical world of his planet, Megas-Tu. But the celebratory mood takes an ominous turn when Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy encounter a powerful race of beings who put humanity on trial while also attempting to expose Lucien for being none other than the Devil himself. Up to this point, "The Animated Series" successfully packed a lot into its 24-minute running times while still feeling like vintage episodes of "Star Trek." But with "The Magicks of Megas-Tu," the producers and writer Larry Brody may have bitten off more than they could chew. The premise is ambitious and imaginative, but it's all over the place with too many ideas that are never fully explored. After all, how could they be in just 24 minutes? But in spite of itself, "The Magicks of Megas-Tu" manages to stick the landing in true Captain Kirk fashion with a message that ultimately feels like classic "Star Trek" after all. So, it doesn't always work, but when it does, it does so splendidly.

In the 1970’s it was an odd time. Bell Bottoms, feathered hair, corduroy and animated representations of the devil were all acceptable. When The Enterprise stumbles into a dimensional rift, they find a place of magic and mystery, all while being guided by the joyful Lucien, and ending with a [...]

Captain Kirk defends Lucifer while Lieutenant Commander Uhura chats up a justifiably frustrated computer. Join your increasingly perplexed hosts as they discuss the insanity of Spock using logic to justify magic, the expanded opportunities for Uhura to play an integral role during the run of Star Trek: The Animated Series, and the discomfort at seeing McCoy pine for a Southern plantation.

...and then Kirk had a drink with the Devil. Literally, the Devil. Easily one of the wackiest episodes of Star Trek, this episode features Spock drawing pentagrams on the floor doing magic, too many mid-sized sedans to count, and we discuss that bitch-ass Edmund from Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Ryan and Brady discuss their first watch of an Animated Series episode, and it's perhaps their widest-ranging talk yet. Theology, the Salem Witch Trials and the origins of Kylo Ren all get a mention. It's a trip!

As we delve further into Bones' bedroom behaviors, our everyday lives start to devolve into meme theater, and Shawn inadvertently spawns a new segment of the show where he performs an assistive listening version of common gifs. Minh tanks his audition for Plant Creature #2. Corrections Corner takes us on a trip down Special Guest first appearance memory lane. Whatever you do, don't drink soda while you're giving someone "The Crackle." Erin fails out of her mythological creature seminar... or does she?! Yes. Yes, she does, but stick around for her Corky Romano redemption. Before we draw "Last Blood," Matt drops the biggest correction burn of the series squarely on Shawn's innocent, unsuspecting face. We really start sorting out a lot of our issues when the recording light flashes, so buckle up. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BackTrekking returns again to look back at the real-world inspirations of classic Trek episodes!Starfleet is what you get when hippies have no man to rail against, when hippies *are* the man (and woman and antennaed being) but can also bathe and hold down jobs. And in the Hippie Federation, everything is cool. Believe in God, don't believe in God, claim you are God . . . all valid options. But in the rapidly developing theocratic societies of colonial New England, God was your deity, boss, and president all rolled into one and breaking the law, including God's law, meant you had a date with the gibbet and you're buying.That's the world the characters of "The Crucible" find themselves in as Arthur Miller's play begins. Puritans are, despite all efforts to the contrary, still human, but when lust and lies are capital crimes, there are some "righteous" citizens who are willing to exploit Salem's fear of the supernatural to settle scores, to increase their holdings, and to try and possess someone they think they deserve. On the other side of the equation, the very real Salem Witch Trials also occurred in the Star Trek universe, and the fear and hatred on display in early America cost us a relationship with an alien race who was looking to share their extraordinary gifts, and Kirk and the Enterprise are being put through their own trial over humanity's rejection of "The Magics of Megas-Tu".It's another long episode but our first recorded in person and our first Star Trek animated series episode! Join us as we examine the chilling real-world events in 17th century Massachusets Bay Colony that claimed 19 lives and set neighbor against neighbor. We discuss the historical details of the witch hunts of the late 1600s, the actual victims and their persecutors, the "spiritual evidence" brought against the accused, the sexist and greedy motives of the accusers, the continued poignance of Miller's play and the author's own courage under persecution, the movie's stellar cast, and the possible chemical causes of "demonic possession."We also talk about the subtle subversiveness of the animated episode, finishing the 5-year mission, making friends with the devil, being Promethean, Wishbone in space, Jimmy Doohan voicing everyone, tripping on rye, Frank Miller's The Crucible, Punky Brewster's dad, the ultimate Hollywood weasel, dancing with the black man, Paul mf'in Scofield, shooting nets, where toll roads come from, Gooey labels this a "hangout movie", and Kal gets into his theater past!This is the closest we're going to get to true crime so tune in!

This is a re-broadcast of Episode 17. After Star Trek went off the air, there was a 27-month period when there wasn’t much new science fiction on TV. Then in the fall of 1971, along came the British TV show UFO. It was ground breaking with a unique style.  But more importantly, UFO gave some comfort to the growing Star Trek audience.  The fact that it was on TV said to them, “Science fiction is relevant, here’s another form of it, and it’s of to like it." It also raised the bar for sci-fi producers.  This was a smart, stylish show dealing with contemporary issues such as politics, drug abuse, adultery and divorce.  UFO was not a hokey kids show. There's a Trek connection, as well.  Series star Ed Bishop voiced the character Asmodeus in the Animated Series episode The Magicks of Megas Tu. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at this unique show on this episode of 70s Trek.

The guys open the episode with some Star Trek: Discovery news, then they dive into three more episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series. First, the crew find themselves talking to The Devil ("The Magicks of Megas-tu"). Then they're attacked by a two-headed dragon ("Once Upon a Planet").

There are good Star Trek episodes, there are bad Star Trek episodes, there are forgettable Star Trek episodes, and then there are the just plain weird ones. This week, the Shuttle Pod crew went back to the well of oddball episodes and we each chose a weird episode of Star Trek on television to rewatch and analyze. For Volume 2 of The Best of the Weird, we watched the The Next Generation episode “Sub Rosa” (Dinnae light that candle!), Voyager’s “The Thaw“, The Animated Series “The Magicks of Megas-Tu” (Friend Kirk!), and we wrap it up with The Next Generation‘s “Home Soil” (we’re all just “ugly bags of mostly water”).

After things began looking up last week, we take another turn for (mostly) awful again. "The Survivor" is a highlight which your stalwarts generally enjoyed, while "The Infinite Vulcan" was a brave attempt by Walter Koenig himself to write an episode, but that Roddenberry meddling turned into a weird story of hop-heads that we find mostly uninspiring. And then there's "The Magicks of Megas-tu." We end up mostly talking about ANYTHING else...

The Magicks of Megas-Tu. The Enterprise takes a jaunt to the center of the galaxy to see what might still be happening at the point of the Big Bang. Soon after, the crew apparently parts ways with science. They find an energy–matter whirlwind and a fireworks display that rivals those of the US Bicentennial celebrations. Spock draws a pentagram on the floor, Sulu conjures up a woman, Kirk shoots magic lightning beams out of his hands, and a guy that's not Q puts humanity on trial. Oh, and did we mention Lucifer is there? In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek—the first to feature new co-host Adam Drosin—we dive into "The Magicks of Megas-Tu," one of the strangest, most transgressive bits of Star Trek ever committed to film. We discuss everything from Jacques Tati's gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless movie about confusion in the age of technology to English occultist author and ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley, as well as TV broadcast standards and the obsession with red, white and blue in the 1970s. So grab a stein of ale and settle into the wood-paneled den. It’s going to be a trip!

Interview with Dorothy Fontana. A television writer since the early 1960s, Dorothy "D.C." Fontana was the personal assistant to Gene Roddenberry. It was through this role that she became a prominent creative force behind Star Trek. Dorothy had a large part in developing the character of Spock and his family in her story "Journey to Babel," and is also responsible for many other classic episode of The Original Series. She continued her ties to Star Trek when she signed on to Star Trek: The Animated Series in 1973, for which she became story editor and associate producer. And along the way, she deepened Spock's backstory in her script for the most famous TAS episode of all: "Yesteryear." In this episode of Saturday Morning Trek, none other than Dorothy herself drops by the Trek.fm wood-paneled den. We discuss the fan reaction to the announcement of an animated series, how a writers strike actually improved the quality of the scripts, and how she brought a strong female voice to other '70s shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and Land of Lost.
