Thanks for sticking with us, folks! A couple of months ago, Adam Nimoy's documentary For the Love of Spock was released and as Sophie had contributed to the Kickstarter, she graciously waited until we were all together before watching it. Patience of a saint, that woman. We discuss said film and our thoughts on it and then, as we do, meander off topic a bit. AB and Fiona even disagree on something! Phasers (set to stun, we don't hate each other that much) at dawn!
To watch For the Love of Spock yourself, going to fortheloveofspock.com will get you started.

SPOILERS for Star Trek Beyond contained herein!
Don't say we didn't warn you!
MJ, Sophie and Fiona took a trip to see Star Trek Beyond in the cinema and were quite surprised. When AB finally sees it, she may well kick herself, but not hard because it's still not ST:VI. Better than ST:V and Into Drekness, to damn it with faint praise.
Does anyone even read the show notes? If you do, gonnae tweet me with the Vulcan salute emoji @angeltwopod? Or post it on facebook.com/angeltwopodcast? Ta muchly.
I'll away and see if I can find some pilfered Scotch now, invented by a little old lady in Russia...
Over a Google Hangout, AB, Sophie and Fiona talk a bunch of Trek news. Okay, it was news at the time, but true to form I'm glacial in my editing speed and then technology intervened and ate the edited episode then refused to upload it... Anyway. It's here! Because of the Hangout, the audio quality isn't great. Sophie is oddly quiet. And I left my window open. Again. It's gonzo podcasting, 'kay? It's a stylistic choice. Honest.
We cover the initial tease for Star Trek Discovery; Agents of Yesterday in Star Trek Online; MAC x Star Trek cosmetics and quite a few more things that I've already forgotten because it's 4.10am and I can't remember my own name right now.
Oh! We have a Patreon! Please think about donating? Thank you muchly. We love you. I sleep nao. *puts on ST:TMP*
Yes, I'm aware that revenge is a dish best served cold, so will be wary of any ice cream-based treats Sophie offers me.
MJ watched more DS9 with us (Sophie and Fiona this time; AB was unable to join us - she said something about a cellular peptide cake, with mint frosting?) Past Tense Pt. 2 (we ended up watching part one the previous week after recording) and In the Pale Moonlight, with TNG's Half a Life in between.
As ever, it's taken a while to get this episode out to your ears (apologies!) so when we mention Anton Yelchin it was at least a month before his untimely passing. Please don't think us insensitive or ignorant.
Please get in touch! @angeltwopod - facebook.com/angeltwopodcast - angeltwopodcast@gmail.com - for the love of Worf, please get in touch? What's your favourite ice cream flavour? Does Earl Grey ice cream exist? How does one make ice cream with tea, I wonder..?
<Insert heartfelt apology for being so quiet for so long>
In this episode, we introduce MJ as both a new member of the Angel Two crew and to Star Trek - yes, we found someone we know and like who hasn't seen Star Trek and are taking steps to fix that terrible situation. Don't worry, she's completely down with it! Also: MJ's mum - sorry about the swearing.
MJ's introduction begins with TNG - The Measure of a Man, DS9 - Civil Defence and Voyager - Eye of the Needle.

Hello friends!
We thought it would be fun to watch The Motion Picture (muted, with subtitles) and record the experience for you. Gosh, were we wrong! That said, if you also mute the movie and listen to us instead, it will almost certainly be more fun for you. Try it with the drinking game: reaction shot - drink; over-long sfx shot - drink some more.
Additionally, codeine and I don't mix too well, so I say some strange and silly things ("a very lot much amount of make up"?) but be kind. I edited out the coughing and yelping to save your ears (and mine. I won't lie.)
If you watch the movie with us, be sure to let us know!

In the future, we have achieved equality (amongst other things) but when it comes to affairs of the heart... (who else has a weird version of Faith Of The Heart in their heads now? Sorrynotsorry) the men of Trek are often shown to behave in a very retro way.
We discussed this, at great length, a few weeks ago.
As ever, please give us feedback:
Broken Rainbow UK donation page, please give what you can. Thanks!
Firstly, our most sincere apologies for the delays in getting this episode out; hopefully it will be worth the wait!
Also, the audio quality might not quite be up to par - this is probably related to the problems we had with the actual recording. Anyway, it's not like I produce NPR-quality podcasts, what do you want from me???
In this episode, we pay tribute to the fabulous and wonderful Majel Barrett Roddenberry. If you're unfamiliar with her place in Trek history, are you sure you've go the right podcast? If you don't know her, go watch her episodes, we'll wait.
Caught up? Ain't she just BRILLIANT? Hashtag life goals. Lwaxana, at least, if not MBR herself.
We also talk movie trailers and the new TV show, but that got abruptly cut off. C'est la vie.
