[Hailing Frequencies Open]

Apollo’s got abs, a lightning machine, and the emotional stability of a guy who just got left on read.

This week on Treks and Tangents, our co-hosts tackle Who Mourns for Adonais?; the episode where the Enterprise gets grabbed by a giant glowing green hand and held hostage by a Space Greek God. 

Between Scotty getting repeatedly electrocuted over his crush, Lieutenant Palamas falling for the galaxy’s shiniest red flag, and Kirk refusing to gather even a single ceremonial leaf, the crew debates whether Apollo was truly a forgotten god… or just the universe’s loneliest theater kid. 

Plus: sideways nipples, Greek mythology tangents, thunderbolt tantrums, and Jaci questioning why every female scientist in Star Trek keeps getting hypnotized by emotionally unstable.
