The Treksperts, Mark A. Altman (Pandora, The Librarians, Agent X) and Daren Dochterman (Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition) bring you another episode examining the continuing relevance of Star Trek as a source of political and social allegory as they finally go full McLaughlin Group as they bring aboard a liberal commentator Jonathan Larsen (managing editor, The Young Turks, formerly producer of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and "Up With Chris Hayes") and conservative Denes House (Christian pastor, Fleet Chaplain and cousin of the Bush family) to parse the politics of Star Trek in what will hopefully prove to be an episode that inspires much enlightened discourse about a franchise we can agree that we all love.
