The G & T Show episode 20 is now available for download. This week Nick and Teri discuss Star Trek’s creepiest episodes. So, if you’re looking for a list of episodes for a Halloween Star Trek marathon, we’ve got it. Join us in wishing Nick a happy birthday. For Halloween, Teri dared Nick to take a photo of him wearing a Skant at work, photos will follow. And be sure to enter Teri’s Fan Fiction Contest.

Next, Nick revealed his new contest, which ties in with the latest Star Trek Vanguard novel, What Judgment Comes. In the book, Lt. Commader Terry Shull is onboard the USS Defiant (Tholian Web, TOS). We all know what happened to the ship, but no one really knows what happened to its crew. To enter the contest, you must submit a short story describing the demise of Lt. Commander Terry Shull. The contest is open to everyone in the galaxy, except for Teri. Nick will select the winner and commission a talented artist to create a charactature of the winner in a scene with their favorite Star Trek crew member. Be sure to enter Nick’s Kill Terry Shull contest. It ends December 31st at 11:59pm.

Teri revealed that Michael A. Martin has contacted them to be interviewed for a future episode of the G & T Show – more details will follow later. Then Keith R. A. DeCandido will be interviewed soon. So if you have questions for either author, feel free to email them hosts@gandtshow.com or post them on our forums here and here.
