I know you really wanted that terrible DS9 episode, but its been so long since we have uploaded anything that we lost one of the audio files, and no one wants to hear a one sided conversation. Instead, we bring you the next episode, Measure of a Man. A top quality Data episode and a fine bit of Star Trek.7.

Join Chris & Nev as they delve into Star Trek's First Contact - no, not that one, the original TNG episode!   The Enterprise is orbiting Malcor III, home to the (surprisingly enough) Malcorians who are about to embark on their first warp flight. Picard and crew are there to initiate first contact and have had operatives on the planet gathering intelligence to help it go as smoothly as possible.   Riker, disguised as a Malcorian, is injured and taken to hospital where his doctor begins to notice strange abnormalities in his physiology. Who is he? What is he? And why is he here? The main cast step side to follow the Malcorians as they take their first steps to the stars and try to unravel the puzzle that is Riker.   Find us on the socials at: https://www.facebook.com/shieldsuppodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/shieldsuppodcast/ https://twitter.com/shieldsup6   Or email us at [email protected]

Chris & Nev rejoin the crew of the Enterprise as they face their old foe, Khan Noonian Singh, and his chest, who is bent on avenging himself on Kirk for marooning he and his people to die on the desert planet Ceti Alpha V using nothing but quotes from Herman Melville and Dante. Also, Kirk had a son...who knew? Also starring nightwatchman Chekov who we didn't see in the original episode, so we can only assume he was sleeping off a night on the Romulan ale.

In this classic episode, the crew of the Enterprise finds the SS Botany Bay adrift in space, a pre-warp sleeper ship from Earth containing several bodies in stasis. Among these is Khan Noonian Singh, a genetically engineered super-human and one of the leaders of the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s. Once Khan is woken from his long sleep, he soon reveals the ambition, strength and intelligence that helped him conquer a quarter of the Earth.   Join Chris & Nev as they discuss the birth of this timeless and unforgettable villain of the Star Trek universe.
