The one that puts humanity on trial.

Hello to our listeners, both old and new!

Welcome to Space Crime Continuum, the nonsensical Star Trek podcast that dares to ask the question: “Is this over yet?”

That’s right, we’re back, and we’re shaking things up! Haley and I love many things in the Star Trek universe, but one thing we love more than most is Star Trek: The Next Generation. So, we’re doing something we haven’t done in decades: a full-series rewatch, from the very beginning to the very end. Every episode. Every questionable decision. Every awkward early-season uniform. We’re going all in.

But why stop at just enjoying ourselves? That would be far too easy. Far too pleasant. No, we’ve decided to make things considerably more complicated by adding another thing we love: CRIME! We’re talking courts, punishment, prisons, the justice system, and all the questionable decisions that make for a good discussion.

In this episode, we kick things off with a little chat about jury duty. Have either of us had the honour of serving? What do we think about it? And how long does it take before we wander wildly off-topic? (Spoiler alert: not long.)

So, if you’re into lighthearted Star Trek discussions, true crime, questionable tangents, and two friends who can’t always stay on track, you’ve come to the right place. Join us as we boldly go where absolutely no conversation needs to go.

Follow along!

Thanks for listening, and remember: in space, no one can hear you commit a crime. Probably.

The one with the scantily clad Edo

Welcome back to the podcast friends, Haley and I are back with another episode of Space Crime Continuum, the podcast that does what many have done before and talks Trek. We're so excited to do an episode that features Haley's dream phone caller, Wesley Crusher. This week we take a look at the injustice within the episode from season 1 called Justice. Wesley is busted for being the bad boy we all know he is, but does the punishment fit the crime? Not exactly.

And as we do, we move from the hilarity of season one TNG into a more serious discussion where I share the sad and tragic story of Otto Warmbier.

We hope you enjoy this episode and we hope you all travel safely to Las Vegas for the 60th anniversary of Trek celebration at STLV. Find me on Bluesky @vanislandsara.bsky.social or on instagram @VanislandCrafts

The one where O'Brien suffers again.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of Space Crime Continuum, the Star Trek podcast that asks the question: Do we really need to combine true crime and Star Trek?

This week's episode is a dark one, so listener discretion is advised. We'll be discussing themes of suicide and self-harm.

This week, we're covering the Deep Space Nine episode "Hard Time," where Chief O'Brien is accused of espionage and sentenced to what he believes is 20 years in prison. In reality, only a few hours have passed, but the psychological effects of his imprisonment follow him back to the station, making for one of the series' most intense and emotional stories.

Join Haley and me as we discuss this unforgettable episode alongside the real-life Canadian story of how the prison system failed a young woman.
