Episode 41 Crewman Mgyx, Crewman PVG and Crewman Tommy find things to talk about in the universe of Star Trek

This is a live stream from the Technically Trek podcast, hosted by Crewman Tommy, PVG, and Mgyx. The episode is a free-flowing discussion among Star Trek fans that touches on canon inconsistencies, fan theories, and trivia, all while interacting with a live chat audience.
Summary of Key Topics
• Pike & Kirk in Strange New Worlds (SNW):
The central debate of the episode concerns whether Strange New Worlds is breaking canon by having Captain Pike and James T. Kirk interact too frequently. One host argues that in The Original Series (TOS), Kirk and Pike seemed to barely know each other, implying they shouldn't be "bros" in the prequel [17:02]. Another host defends the writing, suggesting that a 10-year gap is enough time for them to drift apart and act like distant acquaintances later, or that they are merely professional associates rather than close friends [17:46].
• The "Pre-quel" Problem & Powerful Beings:
The crew discusses the difficulty of writing prequels like SNW or Enterprise without contradicting future events. They theorize about powerful species like the Iconians, Metrons, and the Q Continuum. A specific theory is shared that these god-like races might be related or distant cousins, potentially explaining why they all seem to put humanity on "trial" [05:34].
• Theme Song Debate:
The hosts rank their favorite Star Trek opening themes. Deep Space Nine (DS9) and Voyager are top contenders, with the DS9 theme praised for its solitary, soulful trumpet solo that reflects the station's isolation [43:04]. They also jokingly criticize the Enterprise theme song, "Faith of the Heart" [34:04].
• Star Trek Trivia ("First Kisses"):
The latter half of the video is dedicated to a trivia game focusing on the "first onscreen kiss" for various characters. They stumble through questions regarding Kirk (debating if it was the alien in "The Cage" or a human), Picard (correctly identifying heart-throb Vash was a later romance, not the first), and others like Odo, Janeway, and Archer [01:24:48].
Analysis
• Critical Fan Perspective: The hosts exemplify the "hardcore fan" perspective. They are quick to call out "bad writing" in newer shows like Discovery and Strange New Worlds when it conflicts with established lore [19:51]. However, they also show a willingness to "headcanon" solutions (inventing their own explanations) to make the inconsistencies work, such as memory wipes or time travel.
• Humor and Tone: The tone is highly informal and comedic. The hosts frequently joke about characters "smashing" (having romantic encounters) and poke fun at the sexual politics of the Star Trek universe, such as Riker's reputation or Odo's shape-shifting abilities [52:13].
• Community Interaction: A significant portion of the runtime is dedicated to acknowledging the live chat (e.g., users "IB," "Karen," "Trekbot"). This creates a communal atmosphere where the audience's corrections and fact-checks are integrated into the conversation in real-time.
