Tasha is heavily made up, with her hair slicked back and a kiss curl on her forehead. She is looking directly into Data's eyes as smiling toothily, as if she's just heard that Data is programmed in multiple techniques, a broad variety of pleasuring.

First broadcast on Thursday 19 January 1967

Gornfest 2025 continues this week on Untitled Star Trek Project, as we head back to 1967 — when the Gorn were just a single rubber lizard in a spangly minidress and the Federation was barely a glint in Gene L. Coon’s eye. Iconic, memorable and visually striking — this is why nerds still podcast about the show 58½ years later.

First broadcast on Wednesday 10 February 1999

It’s the 1990s — the era of the Consulting Psychopath — and so when a pretty young lieutenant is shot dead in his locked quarters, perky newcomer Ezri Dax decides to investigate — with the help of her crap-haired and murderous previous host Joran. It’s all very light and implausible, but we get a few laughs, Ezri gets a big gun, and the regular cast (except Cirroc) get their usual DS9-style character beats.
