Casual Trek: Shax’s Second-Best Day

Posted on June 11, 2023 by fakedtales

This one was a weird episode, mainly as two of the episodes were ones I’d seen relatively recently. I knew bad admirals were a thing in Star Trek, but I didn’t know of the trope of ‘Badmirals’ until it was … Continue reading →

Posted on November 30, 2022 by fakedtales
