The Toon Toon Virus has made its way into TrekChatz, and now we're covering Star Trek's first ever attempt to animate some classic sci-fi stories.

Kiss kiss, fall in love with four animated series discussions in the latest episode of TCTM!

Magellan's Division, Round 1 | Toon Couch, Toon Madness 13
With just eight shows left in the Toon Couch, Toon Madness tournament, we took it upon ourselves to seed those shows with 4 each of our own picks, and four that listeners wanted that didn't fit into other categories.

Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2 Part 2 Discussion | TrekChatz 28
Here comes the rough patch, folks. While these TOS episodes for the most part didn't light our worlds on fire, they did get the gears turning in this discussion. How did Star Trek: TOS reflect Cold War fears and liberal anxieties? Why does Kirk HAVE to kiss someone every episode when it's not even Spock? IS Bones or Spock the best character of the entire franchise? Load up your heaters, put on your questionable historical garb, and munch down on some quadrotriticale as you enjoy this, the latest
