Villains In The TOS Movies: Part 1.
For many people, the mark of a good movie is having a good villain. The question is, are villains really necessary?

We discuss the finer points of villainy, question the nature of villains, and ask the question, "Does doing bad things make you a bad person?" Find out what we think in this very Probe-ing episode!

Transporter Ethics.
We’re told the transporter takes an object or person, disassembles
them on a molecular level, transmits them to another place, then
reassembles them. However, there are other instances where
duplication happens. Where does that matter come from? Where does
the matter for regular tranports come from?
McCoy has a distrust of the transporter. Is he crazy, or does he have a point? In this episode of Standard Orbit, Mike and Drew discuss the transporter and the possible ethics of using it.

IDW Ongoing Comic Comparison: Return of the Archons.
The Star Trek Ongoing comics went back to their usual episode retellings in the next pair of issues, but there were still plenty of changes in the alternate timeline. In this episode of Standard Orbit, Mike and Drew discuss "Return of the Archons" and how Landru has changed over the timelines. Is Landru a 6000-year-old alien computer or a 100-year-old Federation computer? Could he be both? Has Sulu secretly been a Section 31 agent the whole time? Find out what we think as we continue our comic comparisons!
