Deep Space Gay

By Alex and Paula

In this weekly podcast your two hosts, Alex and Paula, discuss their favourite fandoms from a new perspective. Listen to them discuss their favourite episodes and characters, talk about the relevance of diverse fandoms and the history of geeks, and sometimes loose it over the weirdness of the universe (and their own tired brains)! Our current main fandoms are Star Trek and the MCU, but honestly, we go wherever inspiration and hyper-fixation guide us.

87. Is that Riverdale related?! (Holiday Special)

Merry Crisis everyone!

Even though we have been notably absent in the past few months we couldn't not give you a round up of our year, personal and geek-wise. You may not have been waiting for this one, but come along anyway! We promise it's not just Alex hating on Multiverse of Madness again (will this become an annual tradition? We're definitely excited to find out!)

PS: We cannot promise yet to upload regulalry again but we can definitely try, there should be coming more your way next week!

086. It's a kinda Quiztime! (TNG: Will Riker)

Whatever you are expecting, this episode is not that. But we do definitely talk about the one and not only William Thomas Riker! If this is not the first episode you are listening to, you know that our love for Commander Riker knows no bounds, so feel free to experience it with our tired and exhausted selves! And in case you want to know a little more about Paula's job, this is the one for you.

If you want to swoon with us about this amazing man and his beard, you can hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @deep_space_gay or write us an email under deep.space.gay@gmail.com!

We are back with our marvel shenanigans and as usual we have our great friend Selina with us.

083. 5 to 8 business years (TNG: First contact)

NOT the movie!

The alien is escaping and Riker is in trouble. After a recon mission turned badly, Riker ended up in an alien hospital close to death. The first mission contact of the Enterprise turns into a rescue mission with a lot of involuntary beaming and some very violent "doctors".

Also, how does Earth's political system(s) actually work in the future? A question we discuss with no definitive answer as we are not Star Trek actors who were briefed on this.

082. Whatever happened to Korkie? (Mando Season 3)

Paula is asking the hard questions this episode as we review the third season of the Mandalorian. Spoilers ahead!

This season focussed a lot more an Mandalorian cultures and what could potentially unite Mandalorians. It also showed us why exactly they don't unite very often - looking at you, Axe and Paz! We had dragons, we had Jack Black, we had found family, we had space battles! Grab your blasters and join us in our review of the latest Mando season and our discussion on the future of the New Republic in times of Disney!

Also, spoilers for Star Wars: Rebels are discussed in this episode!

81. Ambassadors of Gossip (TNG: Attached)

81. Ambassadors of Gossip (TNG: Attached)

Is this one of our favorite episodes of TNG? Hear for yourself!

It's time for a good old discussion of a single ep, but this one in particular really has it all: a tragic romance, psychic connections, open conversation, a good amount of side eye, those lightning globe things you saw at the christmas market in 2009.. a dream!

If you too ship Beverly and Picard, you can tell us on instagram (and sometimes Twitter) @deep_space_gay or email us under deep.space.gay@gmail.com. Maybe we can start a support group?

078. It's Brad Brad! (right next to the moon moon)

We joked about it a couple of weeks ago, but now we are in it. There are more movies about the greatness of the US-American military than there is sand on the beach, so we wanted to take a closer look at the queer and oftentimes homoerotic subtext of such. For that we picked a movie and its sequel, Transformers and Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen. Jk! Of course we talked about TOP GUN and TOP GUN - MAVERICK! Happy first week of spring everyone!

If you haven't seen the film, be aware of spoilers! Or do it the way we did and have the plot explained to you by our amazing guest expert Selina. Because the two of us couldn't be bothered to leave the house for this movie, so we had Selina do it for us!

075. Bathlet, honour, prune juice (TNG: Yesterday's Enterprise)

sooo, we are late with today's episode and that's because remembering stuff isn't our strong suit. Anyways. 

We start out with a fun discussion about the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" and talk about the iconic moments, including Tasha's lipstick, Riker's falling and of course, the legendary prune juice! Then we drift off into the Delta Quadrat. We'll be back soon with our regular schedule, but times are busy at the moment. As a treat you get a longer episode though, so we're all winners today!

074. How evil? The evilest! (Star Wars: Andor Season 1)

We are back after a short January-hiatus and we start right back into the new year with fun topics like space fascism, space violence and space gays! Andor broke our hearts and made us rethink a lot of what we already knew about Star Wars. This episode starts out wild and then turns very serious and thoughtful - most of the time. Oh, and we also have some new rules for Baaaarclay's day. Spoilers for season 4 of Star Wars: Rebels!!

After mysteriously losing some time, we're back with another Marvel episode. And you know what that means: Our wonderful friend Selina is back as well! So get your briefcase, put on your Lawyering Clothes and let's head to court for this recap of the She-Hulk TV-show on Disnyey+!

065. I'm not a big fan of slushies (Ms. Marvel)

We did not have a marvelous time with the Ms. Marvel TV-Show on Disney+, so we took the time to examine which parts did and didn't work for us. We talked about everything from the difficulty of adaptations to good storytelling and compelling characters. But be warned, we also discussed school shootings and violence towards minors in the context of the show, referring to its finale. So please be safe!

62. It's the Circle of Shame (TNG: Sins of the Father)

Listen, we really meant to make fun of Worf this time, but we got distracted. We did still discuss the episode and analyzed just how ridiculous a lot of the political schemes and shenanigans are. But we definitely also talked about our local historical figures, made a bunch of stuff up and issued a public warning about the danger of swans. Also: If you think you heard Paula admit to liking Anakin Skywalker, no you didn't :)

How did this happen, we're smarter than this.

We watched Kenobi and enjoyed it immensely. Some of it was great, some of it was on shaky foundations and some of it was just meme-worthy. Join us in our mental decay, cause that's all that is left...

060. Aluminium Death Cube (TNG: Thine Own Self - Season 7 ep. 16)

Data lost his marbles and Deanna tries to level up: It is time for TNG's "Thine Own Self"!
While Data's data is all scrambled and he is stuck in a primitive society with sexy hats, Deanna tries to conquer engineering and get a promotion. In this episode we have Techno babble, we have soup opinions- and most importantly - we make fun of people with hats.

059. Toodles! (Comic Talk)

Are we actually sticking to our weekly upload schedule? Indeed, but be warned that 1. This episode is a little out of he norm, because we really only talk about comics and complain about the MCU and 2. It's literally months old. So don't be too surprised if you listened to any other Marvel themed episode and we're stating the exact opposite opinion all of a sudden. Anyway, who's ready to get into the MCU's horrible characterizations? Again?

058. Are you also so ausgebrandenburgt? (TNG: Deanna)

We're back! [Insert Q + Mariachi Band on the Enterprise Bridge] After a slightly longer Summer break we're ready to head back into our regular upload schedule and there is perhaps no better episode to start us off than a deep-ish dive into Ship's Counselor Deanna Troi. And yes, we talked about chocolate. So if you want to cringe at what the 80's and 90's thought was a good female character and also learn some fun facts about chocolate, we're your best bet!

056. Could be a Telenovela (TNG 1x11: Haven)

It's time for us to meet "the Auntie Mame of the Galaxy" and her amazing, forcesensitive and kindhearted daughter. Is everyone ready for the two Troi women that rule the galaxy and our hearts?!

We talk about "Haven", TNG S1 ep 11. It's the one where Deanna meets her fiancé and where Jean-Luc Picard meets the woman that will haunt his waking hours for as long as they are in the same sun-system. Let the annual Lwaxana Troi episodes begin!

055. Father! You missed it! (Picard Season 2)

It's been a long time coming, but we finally talked about Picard Season 2! As always, there was some discussion about our likes and dislikes, but we also talked about the show's new concept, the consequences of this season on Star Trek as a whole and of course, the weather.

See what happens when you don't concentrate while making an awesome presentation? Typos! If you want to hear why we were talking about Data's personal agenda and basically learn everything there is to know about him, that's the episode for you! There's also another fun quiz where you can test you Trek knowledge along with Alex, let's see how much attention you paid to Enterprise season 3...

051. Boomer Humour (Fedcon 2022 Recap - Part 1)

We left our house, our city and our normal lives behind for a weekend full of shenanigans in Bonn, at Fedcon 30! This Sci-Fi and Sci-Fantasy convention has everything the fan heart needs, from seminars and workshops by fans for fans, to professionals from ESA and other organisations giving presentations and Q&As, and of course, to a lot of our favourite acting people from Star Wars, Star Trek and Doctor Who!

The weekend was a long one and we did so much that we thought it best to sit down and do a recap. Originally planned as a 60 minutes episode, we talked for almost three hours and decided to devide our conversation into two episodes. This one is about our first one and a half days at Fedcon, about the panels we listened to, the fotosessions we were in, and a few of the friendly and awesome people we met there. We have Jonathan Frakes, we have Ian Alexander, we have Michelle Hurd, we have Christopher Eccleston, we have so many more! 

We also met some awesome peops from Jedi-Bibliothek, a German team that informs about the Star Wars universe in its literature form (and other Star Wars news), and peops from Jedipedia, the German Star Wars wiki No.1. You can find the Jedi-Bibliothek on Twitter at @Jedi-Bibliothek and on their website at jedi-bibliothek.de, whereas Jedipedia can be found on Twitter at @jedipedia and on their website, jedipedia.net. They also have a podcast called JediCast, if you are interested in all things Star Wars! 

We can be found on Instagram and Twitter under @deep_space_gay and you can write us emails at deep.space.gay@gmail.com. We also answer to DMs on social media, though, as we are not over 40 and therefore not entirely reliant on emails.

Happy Birthday to Deep Space Gaaay, Happy Birthday to Deep Space Gaaay, Happy Birthday dear Space Gays, Happy Birthday to Deep Space Gaaaaaay! 

It's episode 50 and it's time to look back! We watched a lot of stuff over the last (checks calendar) 18 months - since Wandavision started -  and we ask ourselves the mostest importantest question of them all: Does it hold up? Or is it retrospectively a flop? 

Similar to all teenager-magazines from the early 2000s, we look at every newly released project that we talked about on this podcast and reflect on it's coolness-factor, it's impact on culture and most importantly, hot or flop?

Through the mystical power of friendship and last minute editing, we're back! And we brought the 2nd part of our discussion on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with us. So if we left you on the edge of your seat last week or maybe you have just as many questions about the movie as we do, now is your chance to hear the epic conclusion!
Again: A very big thanks to our dear friend Selina who joined us for these 2 episodes

It's time for another Marvel themed episode: Morbius (2022)! This masterpiece of auditory art is right on par with the tone and quality of the movie we're discussing (and so is the sound quality, because what are microphones if not traitors). So let's get ready for a calm and well thought out discussion, absolutely no instances of your hosts dissolving into laughter and many philosophical questions answered about this well thought out plot.

045. Our buildings aren't human shaped (ST: Discovery Season 4 Review)

045. Our buildings aren't human shaped (ST: Discovery Season 4 Review)

Hello fellow huuu-mans, we are back with a new episode about new Trek! The latest season of Discovery explored the best and worst the Discovery crew had to offer and asked the viewer a lot of important questions about the fate of the galaxy. We ask ourselves similar questions and review Season 4 of the show. We also talk about B- and C-plots we enjoyed this season and philosphize about finding your own path and passions. Also, there is rambling about superhero shows and discussion on Twilight characters, as we got sidetracked, as usual! 

You can find us under @deep_space_gay on Twitter and Instagram and also send us your thoughts, if you want to and feel social enough to do so, at deep.space.gay@gmail.com!

044. A Great Organizator (TNG: The Offspring)

It's official: We're finally in our Data era! We kick off our Data focused episode with The Offspring and very akin to what's happening on screen, discuss a lot of ethical questions and implications this episode has for the Star Trek Universe. But don't be fooled by this intellectual announcement, we recorded this very late at night and added a little bit of our typical chaotic energy into the discussion.
If you want to chat with us about Data, you can find us on Twitter and Instagram (@deep_space_gay) and we have also an email adress (deep.space.gay@gmail.com), so feel free to reach out!

043. Romulan Federation Nation Cooperation Nation (TNG: The Next Phase)

We're talking TNG's The Next Phase while waiting for the oscars to start! We chose The Next Phase because Geodi La Forge plays a central role in it and also Ensign Ro... cause you know, gay. 

We talk about the plot of the episode, wonder about the superpowered floors of the Enterprise and even get struck by the God of prophecies, as we also discuss the often seen full hand slapping technique that is used in 80s and 90s Star Trek! 

We have Twitter and Instagram (@deep_space_gay) and we have an email adress (deep.space.gay@gmail.com), if you want to see what we are up to when we are not recording or if you have any input!

038. Picard gets married to the colony? (TNG: The Masterpiece Society)

The New Year's stress may have already gotten to us, but that's no reason not to talk about Star Trek! This week we tackled The Masterpiece Society and took a look at how the future deals with disabilty and genetically engineered humans.  We both had quite a bit to say about this one and may have drifted into a philosophical discussion or two.
