Channel: SpaceTrio Podcasts
Date: 2022-07-09

KLMeri and Soda discuss in-depth the old favorite debate: canon versus fanon.  We look at idiosyncrasies between canon material and accepted/popular fanon beliefs for each of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.  We also talk about a couple of universe idiosyncrasies such as why characters having Jewish heritage seems popular/important among fans and how Star Trek treats sexuality and relationships between the sexes.
