Not what it bills
Claims to dig into deeper meaning of episodes, which I took to mean as just that, what is significance, what can one learn from, and in what ways is this science fiction show a means to explore bigger ideas. After two listens I find none of that. They dig deeply into the plot of the episode and what it might mean for bigger story arcs and character development and also get extremely nit picky with writing and production. I’m all for criticism and critique, but I found some incorrect. So, if just wanting detailed critique of the episode, this is good. If you want something deeper and more thoughtful and provocative, then I’d skip.

More reviews of Secrets of Star Trek
I don’t agree with all the takes, but the discussion is interesting. I also appreciate the hosts are older trekkers and they have a a richer knowledge of the history of trek and general sci-fi knowledge.

I love the way the panel methodically goes through each episode. I do feel there’s a lot of jumping around, with each series only getting at best one episode per month unless a new show is airing, in which case they focus on the new show season. That’s my only real critique.

I’m a lifelong Trekkie & a fan of S.Q.P.N.’s evangelizing mission, but “Secrets of ‘Star Trek’” is an unhappy & unsuccessful pairing of those two things.
