Star Trek has been around for over 50 years. We have nearly 750 episodes across six... maybe even seven (yeah, I'm looking at you The Animated Series) shows. Sure, there's been some issues with consistency and canon, but there's also been some highly controversial moments both from episodes themselves and behind the scenes action. This, Greg and Derreck take a break from Discovery and the movies to talk about controversy in Star Trek. With Jeremy getting setup on the West Coast, we'll return to our movie re-watch when he has some Internet. Now, what makes something controversial? Well, we cover episode themes and content that perhaps turned broadcasting companies away from airing episodes, or ones that prompted fans to call up the network to complain. We also discuss some that even made the actors upset. But that's not all. We talk about issues between certain actors and overarching concepts that didn't quite pan out the way we all would have hoped. Since we've been talking Discovery a lot recently, we do not discuss the new series in this episode. But trust us. We'll be back for a follow-up episode.

How do you feel about our Star Trek controversies? Which ones should we talk about in Part 2? Comment below or hit us up @HeroesPodcasts on Twitter or Facebook!
