Nasty Brains and AquaNet

Three podcast thralls have been selected to look back on "The Gamesters of Triskelion" - an iconic TOS episode with a lot of problematic elements when analyzed with a modern lens.  We discuss the episode, how interpretations change over time, and whether core messages still hold up.  And as always, we'll watch the lights in the sky.  Content Warning:  Discussions of violence, slavery, sexual assault, and transphobia.   HOSTS Sue Grace Kennedy   EDITOR Andi   Send us your feedback!
