Episode Description
[Hailing Frequencies Open]
It’s just a jump to the left… and somehow Star Trek wandered straight into a low-budget Rocky Horror fever dream. This week on Treks and Tangents, Brian and Jaci explore Catspaw, an episode packed with black cats, haunted castles, mysterious aliens, and enough Halloween decorations to make Frank-N-Furter feel right at home. Brian makes his case that Korob and Sylvia are basically the galaxy’s discount Riff Raff and Magenta, while Jaci tries to figure out why every spooky prop in the universe ended up on one random planet.
Join us as we discuss magical amplifiers, giant cats, suspiciously sexy pillow-talk interrogations, and whether Sylvia got drunk on human emotions faster than a first-time Rocky Horror audience member with a bag of props. It’s spooky, it’s campy, it’s a little ridiculous... and honestly, that’s just the way we like our Star Trek.
