That must be a membership/patreon thing cause there's not even close to that many episodes on their yt channel.

They're on Patreon.

Nice. Great to see all those fellas getting together and enjoying the olden days. I was afraid all those podcasts would be a bit pathetic, bunch of washed up actors reliving their glory days, but it genuinely feels like they're all just having a good time.

There's a bit of glory days in it, but that's unsurprising as you've got a group of people in their 50s and above who have to talk about the things they were doing when they were young and at this peak of their success (except for Robert Duncan McNeil). The most interesting parts of the episodes are when they talk about the technical aspects of making an episode, which RDM is most knowledgeable about. Its also really great when he and Armin Shimmerman talk about the business part, budgets and licenses and so on.

Yeah, given his (kinda surprising) success as producer and director I can see how he'd have some expertise there to share.

Do you think the Federation would have survived if the Borg made their first appearance in the TOS era?

Yes.

Kirk would have fucked the Borg Queen.

I think Kirk could honestly handle anything, with heavy casualties of course. The Borg are not wholly dissimilar from those organisms in “Operation: Annihilate!” and they got out of that in pretty good order. Kirk is kind of a chameleon, adapting to any scenario he’s in flawlessly. See how easily he slips into the role of a mobster in “A Piece of the Action.” If Kirk met the Borg, he would’ve beaten them, but he would have done it through some sort of silly method like behaving intentionally illogically a la “I, Mudd,” or overexposing the Borg to the human condition like in “By Any Other Name.” After all, all it took the TNG crew was a sleep command to beat them. The TOS crew would’ve kidnapped back some redshirt that had faced assimilation previously and sent a kill command through the collective (like I said, with heavy casualties) and then they’d never have to deal with them again.

Anyone seen the Star Trek retrospective by American Krogan?

I've been watching it for the comedy. The guy thinks that the Enterprise not obliterating a random space whale was sending a message to audiences to let foreigners invade your homeland. Everything is viewed under a conspiratorial lens of being Jewish Donkey Smuggler propaganda, like the inverse of a Feminist Frequency.

I dropped into the episode where he summarizes Far Beyond the Stars as blacks demanding representation in media. He goes on to ask why the black characters complain at all. They have their own community, manage restaurants, and are famous baseball players. American Krogan has to be one dumb motherfucker to not see the problem that Benny Russell can't be revealed as black to readers or that he can't write his stories because his main character is black.

Then again, American Krogan also could not understand that a Jewish character in Bioshock referring to a Big Daddy as a Golem was an analogy and not as a literal inanimate object brought to life by a Rabbi. Pakleds are more intelligent than him.

I know it would probably end up dumb in practice but a TOS-aesthetic Borg who haven't assimilated the HR Giger bar yet could be cool

Kirk was the jazz guitarist of Starfleet, it’s fun to imagine him trying to outmaneuver Borg.

But I also think every villain is kind of purpose-built for the show they appear in. Mixing them up sounds cool, but it's probably not as interesting.

Captain Jenkins was the most evil captain in all of Star Fleet. I heard she threatened her EMH frequently and executed nonessential personel
