Newbie Star Trek

Crossover! The episode that activated a legion of Star Trek fans. What's better than one Kira? Well, two Kiras, of course! Also, there's commentary about the immoral nature of empires, slavery, backstabbing, etc., but hey, that's Mirror Universe, baby!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Emergence! Well, pretty much everyone on the Enterprise-D has had some sort of parent-related storyline this season. So why not have the Enterprise-D itself also finally have parent issues? That's right, the Enterprise-D is pregnant! And the holodeck is involved somehow. Discuss.   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new episodes, access to the private Newbie S...

The Wire! A really bad headache leads to Garak finally opening up to Bashir about his past. Except he really doesn't since pretty much every single thing he says is a lie. So it's basically a bunch of lies with a bunch of accidental slips of truth, and by the end even Bashir's a little sick and tired of it. But what do we think?! Tune in to find out!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! B...

Bloodlines! So now that Picard's de facto son Wesley has left the show for good, he gets a new fake son, the main guy from Robocop rip-off Super Force. Man, this season really loves family stuff, doesn't it?    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

The Maquis, Part II! So, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, the actual best part of this episode is Sisko giving his famous "saint in paradise" speech, but other than that, uuuh... let's just say that the main antagonist got so annoying that even Michael Piller was like, "yeah, we should've killed him off."   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Firstborn! The one where Worf's parenting got so bad that Alexander had to go back in time to become his own better dad. But then that didn't work so he decided to shoot himself. Boy, that escalated quickly.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new episodes, access to the private Newbie Star Trek Discord, and a bunch of other perks!

The Maquis, Part I! TNG creates the problem, and DS9 has to fix it. That's right, the Cardassian border dispute that Captain Picard thought they had resolved in Journey's End turns into a bigger problems for the actual colonists in DS9. Surely Sikso's old friend that shows up in this episode won't end up being secretly part of the Federation resistance movement named after the French Resistance du...

Journey's End! Y'know, the idea of Wesley quitting Starfleet because he wants to pursue his own path in life is actually kind of a neat idea for a TNG episode. It's just too bad that it's wrapped up with weird American Indian cultural appropriation and, uh, an overall kinda bad script.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Genesis! Is TNG capable of pulling off a schlocky homage to 80's-style B-horror-movies? Uuuuuuuuh   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Profit and Loss! What happens when the writers of DS9 do a straight-up rip-off of Casablanca using Garak, Quark, and Quark's long-lost Cardassian lover? Well, they're forced to re-write it into something legally distinct enough to prevent a potential lawsuit.     We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Eye of the Beholder! When Lieutenant Dan decides to eviscerate himself in a plasma conduit, Detective Commander Deanna Troi is on the case! But what dark empathic secrets will the nacelle tube hold? An empathic photograph? A secret hidden skeleton? A sexy passionate romance with Worf? All of the above?! Tune in to find out!    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Playing God! Dax gets an intern, and he's working really hard for a good letter of recommendation for the Trill joining program. How quaint. Also, there's a pocket universe on DS9 that threatens to expand and destroy the entire star system. Huh. Also, Jake is dating a Dabo girl. Wow! All of these are treated with the same level of importance. Yes.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Bot...

Star Trek: Resurgence! The fellas who used to work for Telltale Games decided to make their own game, with Tongo and Dabo girls! But, basically, they decided to take that one terrible TNG episode that introduced the Ferengi and then turn that old guy who shows up in it into the sickest Star Trek guy ever. Also, Spider-Man is here! Whoa! And other cameos! It's a Star Trek fanfic come to life! April...

Masks! Once again, a Star Trek crew is taken over by the memories of some sort of alien archive and are forced to jump through hoops in order to exorcise the memory ghosts. Is this, like, a thing Joe Menosky likes doing? What's up with that?    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Shadowplay! Odo and Kira meet the thing that Ricardo was talking about since season 1 of TNG. Y'know, that thing. With the things. The people. You'll see what we mean. Also, Kira and Vedek Bareil finally bang!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Thine Own Self! What if Data was Frankenstein? Well, that's the premise of this video, and we completely misunderstood it! Still, though, it seems like Data's been through kind of these same adventures before, eh?   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Paradise! The time where Sisko and O'Brien get marooned on a remote planet that blocks all technology, and then it turns out it's a dumb cult thing. Hijinks ensue, hotboxing ensues, Rambo-like guerilla tactics ensue, y'know how it is.   Catch our three limited edition colorways of our Bat'leth T-shirt at https://FugitiveFrames.

Check out Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown here: https://bit.ly/4t9FjTU Sponsored by Daedalic Entertainment   Lower Decks! The episode so good that it literally inspired a spin-off series. But not with this cast! In this cast, we get some callbacks to "The First Duty," some DS9 setups, some Worf being a father to anyone else but Alexander, some Picard sending a young woman on a suicide miss...

Whispers! Miles O'Brien continues to suffer when it seems like literally everyone he knows doesn't seem to be who they are and are conspiring against him. It's Miles against the universe!

Sub Rosa! That's right, we've finally reached Beverly's sexy Scottish adventure with the ghost candle. Of course, this has become somewhat of a meme with the Star Trek fans, but is it actually as bad an episode as its reputation that precedes it?

Armageddon Game! Why is it an Armageddon Game? Well, I guess Julian and Miles O'Brien shoot their way out of an ambush. And then O'Brien gets sick with a super virus. And then they have to hole up somewhere. And then Julian and Miles start to trauma-bond. So, yeah! Armageddon Game. Yup.   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Homeward! After seven seasons, we finally get to meet Worf's long-talked-about brother. And it turns out he's... a Goodfella? Who's running around f***ing natives? And wants to get away with it?

The Pegasus! Why did Riker help stop a mutiny? Why is Starfleet not allowed to build invisible ships when pretty much every other species in the galaxy can? Why did a bunch of children make little voodoo dolls of Picard? Click to... find out? I guess?   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!
