Baldly Go - A Star Trek Podcast

The crew of the Enterprise needs to clean up a botched mission that violated the Prime Directive. A strange illness passes over them and they rapidly begin to forget who they are. Armed with only base instinct and curiosity, can the crew regain their memory without losing their humanity? And A.Ron would like to point out that Star Trek often has good (and bad) dating advice for young nerds.  Beam...

Some crew members wander NYC, wait, that's not right. The crew wanders Toronto! La’an is given some essential character beats. This Kirk has never been to Earth before, but he has all the classic Kirk idiosyncrasies. As they charm and bluff their way through the Canadian metropolis, Jim and A.Ron wonder, could OnlyFans solve the financial needs of a stranded crew?  Check out THE Vampire Diaries ho...

Do you remember “The Measure of a Man” episode from Star Trek: Next Generation? Strange New Worlds is holding their own courtroom melodrama. Pike looks for a lawyer as Commander Una Chin-Riley is put on trial. What is natural? What is unnatural? Are those concepts inherently good or bad? Is that a bald Vulcan?? Discuss these serious and silly questions with Jim and A.Ron on this episode of Baldly...

This is the cigar chomping, Bloodwine drinking version of Star Trek we’ve been waiting for. There’s a new riff on the Klingons, Hulk-out juice, and a little-known Star Trek species that finally gets its time in the spotlight. There are a few things to file under “cringe”, but it wouldn’t be Star Trek without the camp.  Beam your feedback to startrek@baldmove.com. Hey there! Check out https://suppo...

Welcome to the new podcast Baldly Go! This pod will cover all things Star Trek starting with the highly anticipated season two of Strange New Worlds. Can the world of Star Trek be redeemed from the folly of recent years? What new characters and old enemies will we meet at the edges of the galaxy? Get a breakdown of all those moments in the trailer and what that could mean.  Beam your feedback to s...

These are the wrapup thoughts of the star-studded show, Star Trek: Picard. A.Ron and Jim’s mission: to chat about a fun show as good friends who love Star Trek. To boldly declare which moments were good, and which were nonsense!  This isn’t the last voyage! Bald Move will be covering Strange New Worlds starting this June! Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you can g...

The voyage of Star Trek: Picard comes to an end. The series had the best of episodes, and the worst of episodes. But Jim and A.Ron say this finale stuck the landing. The return of the entire cast was a good burst of nostalgia and the perfect way to end the show for those diehard Trek Heads. Though the journey may end here for Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jim and A.Ron speculate on the future storyline...

You’ve heard Mary Poppins sing; “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down!” Now sing along with Jim and A.Ron as they declare; “A beautiful ship makes the dumb plot line go down!” Armed with the TNG Technical Manual and decades of fanboy knowledge, your hosts try to make sense of this episode. And do fireworks work in space? There’s nothing in the manual about that… Check out Bald Move’s cov...

Step through the metaphorical door into this episode of The Podcast Maneuver. Jim and A.Ron ponder deep questions such as, what’s the deal with the middle finger? Is the Picard wine trash? And which Star Trek character has the most interesting love life? (Jim and A.Ron have everyone’s romantic history memorized…do with that information what you will.)  Declare you support for #teamleftnut. Beam yo...

There are some scorching-hot dueling theories from your hosts, Jim and A.Ron, in this episode. Picard may have gotten cucked, but Beverly got “Cuckoo-ed”. As early-onset Jumaji syndrome sets in, your nutty hosts try to figure out how much of Picard you need to run a successful experiment.  Beam your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.  Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out ho...

This episode has a bounty of nostalgia. Worf continues to delight, Geordi La Forge makes his appearance, and Jack waxes poetic just like his father. Joining Geordi is LeVar Burton’s real life daughter Mica. Looks like they’re keeping Star Trek in the family. But it’s not all fun and games! Keep an eye out for those Changelings.  Beam your feedback to picard@baldmove.com. Hey there! Check out https...

The quality of Star Trek: Picard is holding on this season. There are more conspiracy theories that go right to the top. Jack Crusher turns into John Wick. And A.Ron would like the record to reflect that he called the appearance of Ro Laren. Utopia doesn’t exist in this iteration of Star Trek, but at least this season is decent despite some odd dialogue.  Beam your feedback to picard@baldmove.com....

This is not the same Star Trek that Gene Roddenberry envisioned, but there are some things to enjoy about this episode. There are some old school TNG vibes. Worf is the GOAT of the series. There's a plot twist Jim and A.Ron didn’t see coming and Picard is getting his swear on.  Beam your feedback to picard@baldmove.com. Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you can gai...

Picard delivers a good episode! Between Picard’s new family members, Worf’s one-liners, and the weak medical practices, this episode has lots to unpack. When you’re dealing with a show with decades of history and plot twists both cool and nonsensical, it provides great theory fodder. In addition to their usual commentary, Jim and A.Ron have a theory crafting session that will have you laughing.  B...

Picard is in denial about a major personal discovery. Raffi goes rogue for better or worse. The deflector dish looks oddly familiar. What’s the deal with Shaw? Is Beverly a warlord? Will all of these plot lines and details pay off by the end of the season? A.Ron and Jim are steeped in Star Trek lore, don’t worry, they’ll pause and explain their jokes when they need to.  Beam your feedback to picar...

Set phasers to “stun” and set your brain to “off”. Everyone is back! There’s a spy, a distress signal, and a fun new starship. What’s wrong with the Federation now? What’s going on with Raffie? And how much workplace bullying will be tolerated? Find out with us as we boldly go into this next season of Star Trek: Picard.  Beam your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.  Hey there! Check out https://supp...

Captains Jim and A.Ron are back on the bridge of USS Bald Move. Star Trek: Picard is getting the gang back together. If you’ve been missing the OG characters, this is the reunion your nerd heart has been longing for. Even though last season was rough, there’s hope for this coming season.  Send feedback to picard@baldmove.com. Hey there! Check out https://support.baldmove.com/ to find out how you c...

The magnetic containment unit experienced core meltdown, and the feedback is smoking. With the madness of this season it’s no surprise your feedback covers the gamut from bad borg face effects to the nonsensical character arc closures. What do we want in season three? A full cast reunion sharing a scene together. We don’t want Patrick Stewart to catch covid, but when else are we going to have the...

Set phasers to mildly entertained. There were a few good moments sprinkled amongst the madness. Q and Picard’s relationship comes to a somewhat satisfying end with Picard now unshackled from his past decisions. The road getting here was rough, but was it worth the journey? And A.Ron has been cured of Jurati syndrome. Thank you for all the sympathy cards.  Picard Season 3 episode by episode coverag...

“Don’t make me defend this show.” A.Ron five times during this episode.  We’re glad to see that elements of this show speak to some people. But when it’s not speaking to us, it’s confusing us. Don’t miss Picard: The Lost Episode, a dramatic reading from A.Ron of a fan spec script that explains this madness. Before you get too giddy about the next Star Trek shows, it’s the same creative team from P...

A.Ron is showing strong signs of Jurati-syndrome. And Picard is showing strong signs of “jumping the shark” syndrome. With the Borg rampage continuing and more battles being introduced into the show, Jim and A.Ron have a couple of useful suggestions. Who else wants to see these guys direct an episode of Picard? Though the show is a shadow of itself, we see a glimmer of hope for season three with t...

“Highly illogical.”–Spock. OG Spock said it right.  Fans of Old Trek admired the show for its unique personality, but now Star Trek and all of its spinoffs have gone the way of the blockbuster. With uninspired action set pieces, unnecessary character trauma, and nonsensical behavior of Star Fleet Officers, we’re really missing Classic Trek. The intellectual heritage got blown away by the lens flar...

If we’re going to enjoy Picard this late into the season, we need to stop thinking about it. Join us as we attempt to answer the pressing questions such as “Is Soji programmed to be stupid?” Seven takes it to an eleven and Jurati is sipping battery juice in an episode that goes off the rails.  Send in your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.

There’s so much feedback, the crystals that sealed the Magnetic Containment Bottle have burnt out. We were offered an explanation on why Borg-Jurati sings that Pat Benatar song, but do we accept it? And please Paramount, put subtitles on the screeners.  Set your frequencies to picard@baldmove.com and send in that feedback.  Hey there!

In this episode of Picard, Patrick Stewart does some of the best acting of the show accompanied by some of the worst scenes of the show. Ogres and onions aren’t the only things that have layers anymore, join us as we try to track a couple different plot lines through multiple layers of nonsense. It’ll have you asking important questions such as, is Q a sociopath or party animal? Is Borg-Jurati get...
