Episode description

What episode of your favorite TV show gets way too deep? Weighty ideas and sci-fi go hand-in-hand; it's so hard to choose just one! 

For Stella Cheeks, it's the Star Trek TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" and for Erin Cline, it's the X-Files episode "Musings Of A Cigarette Smoking Man." 

Will these galaxy brain takes change Erin and Stella's worlds, or are these edgelords more than just a little dull? Only Ronald knows for sure.

About the podcast:

Erin Cline and Stella Cheeks have been friends for over a decade but have never seen each other's favorite TV show. Seeking to rectify that grievous error (seriously, they used to live together), X-Treks was born! Each week the duo choose one episode from Star Trek: The Original Series and one episode from The X-Files that fits a previously chosen cinematic theme, watch them together, and share their feelings! Alongside producer Bobby Hoffman, they discuss their first impressions, how the episodes fit into the larger fan lore, and fascinating behind the scenes facts.
