Also, I guess we finished Star Trek: The Original Series or whatever.

Kenny and Aspen talk about Clone Wars being informed by characterization established by  *checks notes * yup, the prequels, they did something right. 

We also dive into Star Trek as military propaganda, the function of propaganda, and just how stupid everyone acts in Turnabout Intruder. And talk about Dr. Janice Lester and her "hysteria."

Aspen talks about the chronology of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Kenny gets sad he knows about Ahsoka's arc. We also get into the weeds about the "sweaty" worldbuilding of All Our Yesterdays. I mean, it is sweaty.

Aspen talks about Anakin and Padmé and what draws them to each other. Kenny talks about Lincoln & Roddenberry's fetish for Great Man Narratives™. 

And we talk about the binary of good and evil.

We also talk techbros and if technological advancement could result in a Star Trek. And how will people read the almost satire of nationalism in Innocents of Ryloth.

This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure. 

Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower).

Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.

Mystery of a Thousand Moons feels like a latter day George Lucas episode: a follow-up ep shoehorning in unrelated thematics that never gel. It also features a young boy. 

Filoni and co. seemingly grit their teeth during the Filoni Zoni for the BTS, so you know we talk about it.

For Lights of Zetar, we talk about the gaslighting of our protagonist in the ep. Which is funny, because the episode is literally about empowerment.

And Kenny meets his new favorite character.

Aspen loves Detective Obi-Wan and Detective Anakin. Kenny loves bureaucracy. Aspen has a big crush on Asajj Ventress.

And we wonder why Mark of Gideon didn't lean into any of the many ideas it brought up.

We sat sit down with the show's Supervising Director and Producer Barry J. Kelly to dive deep into the creative process of bringing this fan-favorite series to life.

In this episode, you'll get insider insights into:
✨ Balancing the writing to cater to both die-hard Trekkies and newcomers.
✨ The age-old debate: Star Wars vs. Star Trek – which reigns supreme?
✨ What would the adorably menacing Moopsy look like in live-action?
✨ Barry's heartfelt gratitude to the incredible crew behind the series.
✨ The painstaking animation months-long production process!

Star Trek: Lower Decks is set in the year 2380 and follows the support crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos, one of Starfleet's least important ships. The fourth season finds our beloved ensigns facing new challenges and opportunities, all while coming to terms with their "lower deck" status for the foreseeable future.

Don't miss out on this engaging and insightful discussion that takes you behind the scenes of one of the most beloved animated series in the Star Trek universe!

Also, we answer listener questions.

Dr. Miranda Jones and the Medusan ambassador join the Enterprise this week. And we marvel at how complex a character Dr. Jones is (and Diana Muldaur). Meanwhile, Aspen stans for the new inductees of the 501st. REX AND CODY!

Also, we answer listener questions.

Note: Chicken Shop Date Girl and Andrew Garfield

That's the topic of the week. Also, Star Trek and Star Wars are the topics, too.

Aspen talks about "the Filoni Zone." Kenny, naturally, talks about Dave Filoni pulling a George Lucas and synthesizing his favorite aesthetics into something new. Aspen talks about the Trek Triumverate playing Idiotball in this week's episode. And Kenny pulls some thematics out of his butt.

Also, criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli. When you listen to the episode, you'll get it.

Star Trek fails to show up this week as we act out of character and nitpick the flaws in Paradise Syndrome. Kenny talks about the Malevolence as an analog to the German Battleship Bismarck. And we dunk on Rise of Skywalker some more (sorry TROS lovers).

Also, both franchises deal with commanding stuff.

Kenny gives a tiny history lesson about where Star Wars comes from and how it takes a village to make a movie.

Meanwhile, Aspen REALLY likes the episode where the Enterprise fights a Space Amoeba™ (thanks in part to her boyfriends).

And we dive deep into the Great Man Narratives™ with Gene Roddenberry and ESPECIALLY George Lucas as the Special Edition serving as major historical revisionism. Can he ever be stopped?!

Kenny gives a tiny history lesson about where Star Wars comes from and how it takes a village to make a movie.

Meanwhile, Aspen REALLY likes the episode where the Enterprise fights a Space Amoeba™ (thanks in part to her boyfriends).

And we dive deep into the Great Man Narratives™ with Gene Roddenberry and ESPECIALLY George Lucas as the Special Edition serving as major historical revisionism. Can he ever be stopped?!

Aspen can't get enough of Drut's & Bothel's accents in Malani the Warrior. And Kenny can't get enough of fizzbin! And the gangster episode of Star Trek. Aspen talks about cultural humility. And we finally close the book on this chapter of Star Wars.

Fear! Fear will keep the podcast in line. Fear of these 3 episodes, since Jack the Ripper is on the Enterprise. And Wicket took the Woklings to the Hut of Horrors. And also Latara lies, getting dragged to the depths of Endor. We talk mysticism in relation to exotic cultures (and women). And we also talk about how both franchises depict women as just being WAY more scared.

We also explore questions like: Do Jedis really embrace Buddhist philosophy? How can stories help us deal with the uncertainty of the world? And why the heck does Ryan like Rise of Skywalker?

Ewoks re-pilots itself for S2! And Star Trek reheats a whole bunch of old episodes into a casserole of an episode.

Aspen gets grossed out at this episode's preoccupation with The Apple wanting all the followers of Vaal to have sex. Kenny contextualizes how NBC could let a Soviet onboard the Enterprise. And we talk about 1960s sex appeal and the female vs. male gaze.

We've finished Droids!

Aspen thinks The Great Heep (the episode and the character) is deeply terrifying. We dive deep into the unusually gendered KT-10 astromech droid. We also dive deep into the gender politics of Mirror, Mirror and the contradiction that is Star Trek. Kenny also talks about the I.S.S. Enterprise and how cool it is.

But enough about Barbie.

Also, Kenny talks about Trolls Band Together.

Aspen god-splains to us by pointing out all the inconsistencies of this week's Star Trek. Kenny also digs into the humanism of Roddenberry and how that fits in to an episode about a literal god. And these episodes have weirdly common themes, which we're tickled by.

Mike and Mark also suffer through Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Kenny and Aspen talk about Vulcan culture and its synthesizing of "alien" cultures to Western society. We also get into the making of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor and the Wilford Brimley of it all.

Aspen talks about the greatness of Cree Summer. Kenny talks about the "fall of a great man" trope. And we chat about the push pull of realistic political fiction versus aspirational fiction.

Aspen also talks about the connecting themes of strength and power without purpose, along with how those who exert power over others pointlessly are viewed as children.

This week's theme – HAVIN' FUN! We discuss the problems of narratives in Western society, of course. But we also talk about shenanigans. We compare the work/play dynamics in both Star Wars and Star Trek. We also dissect the notion that a utopian society would necessitate work at all.

Also, Finnegan. And a traveling magic show in a universe that has The Force.

Aspen explains what The Bad Batch is to Kenny (who hasn't finished a single episode). Kenny wonders why there are so many "good clones" with malfunctioning chips in their heads.

We also board the Dave Bautista train (choo-choo!), Kenny talks Marie Kondo, and we try too hard to pronounce "Kaminoans."

Kenny talks on how both of these franchises fill in their past. And we talk about romantic analogues between Pike/Number One with Kirk/Spock and R2/3PO.

Aspen feels genuine horror at the giant baby Phlog. But it's okay because we balance it with CAPTAIN PIKE. Kenny talks about the differences between Captains Kirk and Pike and where this episode sits in Star Trek lore. We also talk about the odd gender politics of Rampage of the Phlogs.
