Star Trek: Who Mourns for Adonis

This week, Aled Thomas and Vivian Asimos return to Star Trek for an episode breakdown. This time, it’s the Original Series, season 2, episode 2 called “Who Mourns for Adonis?” And ooo boy is there loads to unpack in this one. We talk about E.B Tylor and his idea of religion and myth and the impact this has on popular conceptions of religion. We also talk about the World Religions Paradigm, and how this erases so many wonderful religions which exist. And Vivian tries really hard to not go on a feminist rampage about the representation of women.
