#34; Star Trek (Star Trek Arc)

This episode takes John D. and Gen into a black hole as they meet the new crew of the Enterprise in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek. We discuss the choice of actors to play the classic characters, Vulcan-style bullying, the legacy of the red shirt, the awesomeness that is Leonard Nimoy and the change in uniforms.
We go through the last week’s news reports and get super geeky talking Mass Effect because Gen finished her first play-through.
This episode closes our Star Trek arc, or at least until the inevitable sequel happens.
