It's Got Star Trek

A reinvigorated Tasha Yar goes on a wild new adventure! Join your slightly-altered hosts as they discuss this classic-making combination of straightforward and largely logical time travel plot, clever production design, subtle adjustments to characterization, and Shooter McGavin. Also, Tasha Yar! Note that in an effort to be more like mainstream podcasts we have spent the first 10 minutes talking...

Uhura and Uhura take care of business. Join your time-shifted hosts as they discuss the fourth season finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. This discussion includes all sorts of things. Clever things! It is a long episode. We could frame that as being a cool bonus thing but we know our listeners are too "with it" to be fooled. But it is all good content. Quite good! Listen and decise for yourse...

La'An resolves her internal conflict with a little help from her imaginary friends. Join your fae hosts as they discuss an episode that leverages fairytale tropes and D&D logic to produce a richly produced, beautifully acted, and deliciously fun story of character growth and tomfoolery. We also discuss in the ins-and-outs of "Doody Or No Doody", lament the fact that, for the first time, no one...

Badmiral madness almost costs Kirk his head. Join your groovy hosts as they discuss solid plotting, excellent acting, and old-school episode structure. Also, there is talk of menses that avoided any connection or reference to the movie Crimson Tide! There is some minor reference to German poop shelves this episode, but largely in passing. Oh, and we got a rare voicemail sent in while we were recor...

A goofy premise accommodates intense character growth. Join your melodramatic hosts as they discuss a controversial premise, seemingly missing scenes, engaging production design and acting, and, of course, space madness! Also, we talk about German poop shelves - rather aggressively, actually. Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Strange New Wor...

Things go crazy on the Enterprise - and in the podcast studio. That's right folks - this is the "It's Got Star Trek battles a wicked summer storm" episode! Join your frightened hosts as they discuss cool things in this episode, and some other things that maybe weren't as cool but still not a big deal, and also some talk about beautiful sci-fi visuals. Then a storm attacks our power and we fight ba...

A whimsical narrative device enables fun character development. Join your marionette-like hosts as they discuss intense fan reactions, big swings, engaging direction and choreography, and no doubt a bunch of other super interesting stuff. Also, goofy gamez and totally relevant asides that help make the hosts seem more down-to-earth and relatable than their powerful shiny podcast personalities woul...

The crew of the Enterprise think they are in a noir but they ain't. Join your lugubrious hosts as they discuss missed opportunities and the confusing amalgamation of varied and largely incompatible traditional plot structures, production design elements, and writing choices. We also discuss unclear themes and messages, and even manage to remember to examine that strange B-plot! Additionally, we ca...

This is one of those "Oops, everyone's high!" episodes. Join your psychedelic hosts as they discuss being stoned, Lower Decks-style hi jinx, being high, actors getting to have some fun with their characters, chasing the dragon, and also some stuff about feet. There are some doody or no doodies, and just the right amount of serious and cogent analysis of this whacky episode of Strange New Worlds! S...

Dr. William Weir joins a mission to salvage the Event Horizon. Join your spooked hosts as they discuss ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and all sorts of other creepy things in this body-horror-filled, character-development driven episode of Solaris. Also, Dan provides new evidence with regard to the ongoing Magnum P.I. theme song discussion. Other things happen too, like Patrick's obsession with Cameo, Je...

Captain Pike permits genocide but it's ok 'cause it's one of those good genocides somehow. Join your entertained but slightly befuddled hosts as they discuss big swings, breath-taking production design, muddled themes, pretty but superfluous scenes, Saffron Burrows, Scotty and Ortega's dance of digs, too-cute plot twists, and the character arcs set up for the fourth season. Also, an intense contro...

Picard is all sorts of f*cked up, like, for real though. Join your familiar hosts (minus one) as they discuss a real corker of an episode. We make very many touching and insightful points, and also goof around a little bit. Note: we actually mostly talk about Star Trek this episode! Any minor diversions from the core discussion are sure to delight and entertain you - if you disagree contact us and...

Kirk and Spock just can't figure out what's even going on! Join your psychedelic self-hating hosts as they discuss weird beards, confusing plots, strange absences, odd-acting regulars, beefy-looking extras, and how all of that still seems to add up to an entertaining, if perhaps exasperating episode of Star Trek. Also, tons of voicemails and emails, Jesse apologizes for helping out, Patrick gets p...

Some whacky Vulcans show up and cause a ruckus. Join your emotional hosts as they (eventually) discuss rapey Vulcans and a lot of other nonsense that is informative and entertaining but not always on topic. This episode meets all the legal and regulatory definitions for a podcast, so you don't bother complaining to your local podcast authority about any potential or perceived deficiencies. Good da...

Janeway makes various choices and Neelix is useful(ish). Join your allied hosts as they discuss how this episode more closely matches the original narrative conceit of the show as compared to most of the series. The hosts also discuss a gross story about Elvis Presley. Come to think of it, Chakotay is even praised! This is an oddball episode of IGST, you shall surely not desire to miss it good peo...

A visit from Lwaxana Troi upends everyone's plans. Join your infatuated hosts as they discuss this middling but fun episode of DS9 - that is, we eventually get to discussing it after discussing some other things. But those other things will be of keen interest to you, our lovely listeners. This is an odd episode of the podcast, but an extremely enjoyable one - don't miss out! Spoiler warning! We d...

Dan is on vacation so Jesse and Patrick decided to do a bonus episode. We somehow landed on the topic of alcohol as represented in Star Trek. We then decided, thoughtfully, that this was a good excuse to drink to some small degree of excess while recording this discussion. This is the resulting podcast episode. Next week: Dan will rejoin Jesse and Patrick to discuss Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "F...

A smart fellow learns a hard lesson after dying for a bit. Join your observant hosts as they discuss an episode that somehow remains engaging despite being rather obtusely constructed. We'll make all sorts of clever points and this and that, and some other things might be discussed or stated. Regular type stuff is the main thing to expect - good, old-fashioned, regular stuff. Spoiler warning! We d...

Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and some non-corporeal aliens keep referring to a respected officer as "girl". Join your confused hosts as they discuss poor writing, missed opportunities, and slap-dash production in relation to some engaging (if nonsensical) camera work and intriguing (if unfulfilled) philosophical ideas. It's what is to be expected in late-Season three TOS folks! Also, Dan and Patrick disag...

We are on vacation, so in lieu of a formal episode this week we are providing you with two (two!?) pieces of certified audio content: a re-release of a classic bonus episode and a brand new, never-before-heard-by-mere-mortal-ears episode of "Jesse's Questions"!!! In this episode, Jesse challenges Patrick and Dan to a wicked game of wits in the third (third!?) episode of "Jesse's Questions". Think...

Hoshi deals with various unhelpful men.

Also, Patrick has a few things to say about gaslighting, and Dan explains in totally appropriate detail a new quirk related to his org...

A nice lady says that she fell in love with Chakotay which makes everyone suspicious. Join your forgetful hosts as they discuss what can fairly be described as an episode of Star Trek. The podcast is good though, give it a listen! Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Voyager, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware! Next week: We...

Quark and a new friend get down to business. Join your tulaberry-curious hosts as they discuss wrinkly Ferengi penises, early 1990s alien bedroom farces, and all manor of lobes (including Lisa!).

We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of...
