Anomaly of Worst Of Trek: Sub Rosa

In this addition of Anomaly, Angela and I reviewed a TNG episode entitled: Sub Rosa. This podcast installment marks the second in our "Worst of Trek" series, and we had way too much fun recording it. If you haven't seen this particular Trek episode, Sub Rosa is basically the soap opera Passions set in space...or one of Angela's mom's "tawdry romance novels" adapted for the small screen.

Okay, hold on Trek fans, don't get your underoos in a knot. We did make fun of Sub Rosa, but it deserved the harassment we slapped it with. That said, we did so with love. It's okay to poke fun at certain Star Trek episodes from time to time; it won't make you a bad fan. Say it with us: "this Trek episode was WEIRD." There you go. We knew you could do it!

In this installment , I announced several new things that are coming down the pike for Anomaly: a new web site and a minicast called "Anomaly Supplemental". The mincast will be hosted by Anomalies you know from the blog; Sue, Kasey, Anne and our Anomalous Correspondent, Sarah. Look for their first episode to hit the feed two weeks from today. They'll be covering Slings and Arrows.

Thanks to everyone who sent us email and voice mail. Sorry, we only had time to play the voice mail messages, though we always appreciate any comments you send. Please keep them coming. And, if you can manage the time, please leave a comment and or rate us on iTunes.

Alright...that's enough for now.

Peace out!

Great show! Angela was in great form, she's my kind of Anomoly. :)

[Dangelus]

Yep Anomaly on form! :)

[Meds]

Awesome Anomaly show, loved it.

[Feathers]

Yes, it was fun and highlighted pretty much what I feel about what was a very uncharacteristic Trek episode.

[Dangelus]

Having thought about it, there was a very simple solution in this episode that would have solved plot problems.

They should have eliminated the idea that this creature 'partnered' itself with generations of 'Howard Women'.

They should removed the association with Beverley's family. It would remove the issue that all the women named Howard would have been unrelated (unless Bev's family traditionally took the woman's surname after marriage) for a start. It would have also removed the issue of when the partnerships started with each generation.

Excellent point.  It implies that all of the women in Beverly's family have kept the surname of Howard, and given it to their daughters.  Since the 1600s, or something?  And then Beverly was the first woman in her line to take her husband's last name when she got married?  It doesn't make much sense.

Or that they had children while unmarried.

Consistently for 1000 years?
