United Federation of Style: Ep 5 - Space Seed

Here we go! It was only a matter of time before we got to “Space Seed,” the episode of Star Trek in which a group of frozen criminals from the 1990s are awakened and decide to conquer the universe. This is episode 5 of United Federation of Style, a podcast miniseries in which fashion expert Samantha Rei and I joke our way through Trek’s weirdest couture. There’s lots to talk about in this one, not least of which is Ricardo Montelban’s outrageously muscular chest.

Next time: “A Taste of Armageddon,” featuring a planet populated by the galaxy’s most Dr.-Seuss-looking hats.
