(TTV Selects) Trek TV Episode 20 - The Alternative Factor

 &lt;p&gt;#218 Listen, nobody* ever** really WANTS to have to genocide an entire race. But sometimes, one has to fall back on the classic, legally and philosophically unimpeachable, defense of &amp;quot;they started it&amp;quot;. Luckily, we don&amp;#x27;t have to wrestle with watching our beloved, be-balded captain commit fully to his morally-questionable eradication plan this time, and it&amp;#x27;s all thanks to everyone&amp;#x27;s favorite adorable reformed Borg, Hugh! Well, favorite until the one with the big gazongas comes along, but for now he&amp;#x27;s the only game in town. So soap up your abs, solidly affix your buttplates, gather multiple people together for a podcast recording in the same room for the first time in like literally a decade, and sever your oppressive link to the Collective with this extremely delayed holiday episode of Trek TV!

*we&amp;#x27;ve received reports that this is, horrifyingly, not true
**and also that it&amp;#x27;s apparently fairly frequent. Ok so maybe just a touch of global assimilation for, say, a month or so might not be the worst thing to try&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/ttv/episodes/ttv_218/hughareu.png" alt="Say what you will about the Borg, they make sick eye holograms" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://trektvpodcast.com"&gt;Visit our website for fan art, news and more!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;#217 Imaginary friends! They&amp;#x27;re extremely common and normal for kids to have, according to all TV forever. But what if: there was some sort of terrifying, bloodthirsty person out there gratuitously murdering the poor innocent imaginary friends of every last child she came across?! That&amp;#x27;s not the plot of this episode at all, but it probably would have been a hell of a lot better if it was! In fact, we strongly recommend you make a concerted effort to focus your mind on this much, much more exciting concept, as we attempt to scrape away this relatively inoffensive last remaining bit of effluent residue that this string of stinkers have oozed all over our poor podcast. Don&amp;#x27;t worry though, we&amp;#x27;ll further help distract your poor embattled psyche with discussions of the bewildering universal homogeny of morning zoo crews, the disappointing lack of scientific rigor in modern mythbusting, the surprising truth of where stress is stored, and at least some more! So lock up your imaginary friends in the panic room and tell them to not make a sound (it won&amp;#x27;t help), hide all the terrible crafts you don&amp;#x27;t want thrown out, and brace yourself for a blandly tolerable episode of Trek TV!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/ttv/episodes/ttv_217/redi.png" alt="Red eyes at night, Troi best take flight" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://trektvpodcast.com"&gt;Visit our website for fan art, news and more!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;#216 Few people realize that everyone here at Trek TV has been hand-selected as a gifted mutant podcastmorph, with the ability to sense what a potential listener wants, what they need, what gives them the greatest pleasure; and then do the exact opposite of that. So we&amp;#x27;re probably a subspecies of everyone involved with formulating &amp;quot;The Perfect Mate&amp;quot;! But we&amp;#x27;re certainly not perfect, so if you&amp;#x27;re by some chance actually looking for nuanced discussion of the illusion of choice, the difficulty of lying to one&amp;#x27;s children, the best song ever written about smelling a body part, the surprising international popularity of Canadian high school drama programs, and so much more... well, Vaughn&amp;#x27;s your uncle! So put on your finest velvet and strongest codpiece, bust open your poorly-secured golden bean, and just maybe you&amp;#x27;ll be slightly prepared for the train about to be run on you that is this episode of Trek TV! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/ttv/episodes/ttv_216/gawkin.png" alt="Whoops, she noticed" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://trektvpodcast.com"&gt;Visit our website for fan art, news and more!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;#215 Warning: only those &amp;quot;whose hearts are joyous&amp;quot; may listen to this episode of Trek TV. Well, unless they can somehow overcome, through sheer strength, the imposing presence of a weird stupid rainbow-checkerboarded head in a bubble. Of course, the real question is: with the double threat of Lwaxana Troi and Alexander Rozhenko actually TEAMING UP, why would you WANT to? We&amp;#x27;re not sure either, but what we DO know is there&amp;#x27;s plenty of discussion of the pitfalls and practicalities of interspecies online dating, bizarre and disturbing Australian pronunciations, unsafe sausage handling practices, shockingly graphic posterior displays, and so much more. It&amp;#x27;s best you accept your premorse and our apologies, get higher and/or fewer as necessary, and hop right into the muddy stew that is this episode of Trek TV before it all turns into some kind of slimy goo! Well, a different kind of slimy goo, anyway.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/ttv/episodes/ttv_215/grosnest.png" alt="For once I agree with you, bubbleheaded clown freak" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://trektvpodcast.com"&gt;Visit our website for fan art, news and more!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
