You may think this is a weird episode for us to include, especially having skipped over Unimatrix Zero, but Brent will explain why early in this episode.  As for this episode, the Doctor's program is stolen and sold to a planet who rations healthcare in a very unethical manner, and the Doctor just can't take it.  What will Matt make of this episode and what it's trying to say?  Let&...

Our old friend Reginald Barclay is back on Earth, working on the Pathfinder Project, which is focused on getting Voyager home, but he falls back into his own holo-addiction when he becomes closer with the holographic Voyager crew than he does with his real like co-workers.  Will Matt even remember Barclay?  What will he do with the knowledge that Voyager is now in regular two way contact with Star...

Icheb, one of the new Borg children on board the ship, is reunited with his family.  He doesn't particularly care to stay with them at first, but as he comes around to the idea, it is discovered that he was intentionally given to the Borg as a trojan horse, ala Hugh from i, Borg.  Thankfully, Voyager rescues him before he can be assimilated for a second time and he becomes a permanent member...

It's that time again to take a pause from our normal routine and take a look ahead to Chart the Course for where we are going as a podcast.  This time, we are looking at Voyager Season 6.  And to help plot our way through the stars, Brent brings in a long time friend of the show, and our very first Patron from so long ago, Erik.  This season was tough to choose because there are truly so many...

If you've been following along with us, then you'll know that Brent has labeled Season 5 of Voyager as the Season on Mental Health.  The season premiered with the episode Night, in which we saw Janeway battling depression as she dealt with her regret of having stranded the crew in the Delta Quadrant, wondering if she was right to do so, and to do so while upholding Star Fleet principles....

The time has come to say goodbye to a crew that we have come to know and love, even if we don't necessarily like some of them.   It's all been building to this, the final showdown of the Federation vs The Dominion.  Sisko vs Dukat. The Prophets vs the Pah Wraiths.  Who comes out on top?  Well, you probably already know.  But what will our First Time Watcher think when he see it all unfol...

With the war raging on, a discouraged Sisko is thinking about calling it quits, when the prophets intervene with a vision that recasts the DS9 crew in 1950s America, with Sisko as a struggling science fiction writer facing blatant racism.   This episode is a clear stab at dealing with racism even in our modern day.  So to help us with this one, we bring in friend of the show, and voice on Anti-Rac...
