Newbie Star Trek

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.

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! Will he survive?! And what did we think of the suffering this time?! Tune in to find out!   Catch our three limited edition colorways of our Bat'leth T-shirt at https://FugitiveFrames.

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? Let's dive in and find out!   Catch our three limited edition colorways of our Bat'leth T-shirt at https://FugitiveFrames. Store   All profits from these...

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? But Ricardo still thinks it's a ten outta ten?! What's going on here?!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

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!

The Alternate! What better episode for the holiday season than one that's about parental trauma? Also, there are some severe disagreements over sliders.   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Christmas Trivia Extravaganza 2025! Whoa, Trivial Pursuit? In my Star Trek!

How do two lifelong Star Trek fans fare against the deep machinations of the Star Trek 50th Anniversary version of Trivial Pursuit?! Tune in to find out!   NOTE: Marvin did, indeed, make a mist...

TNG Season 3 Tier List! We're back with another tier list, and this time for TNG season 3! Riker is at full power with both a beard and a collar, and this is the season many Star Trek fans claim is when TNG starts getting good. But how do its episodes actually stack up?!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new episodes, access to the private Newbie Star Trek...

Rivals! What is even happening in this episode? There's some sort of luck machine? Julian and Miles O'Brien play raquetball? Why are we spending so much time on Chris Sarandon?! Is this literally an episode of nothing but filler?!?!?!   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!...

Parallels! Oh my goodness, we've got the multiple Worfs of madness!

Sanctuary! What happens when DS9 fumbles really hard at doing a refugee crisis allegory while pairing it with a bunch of super ugly aliens? This thing!    Check out this AWESOME fanart by SKELERANG!  https://fugitiveframes.com/skelerang Tumblr @skelerangart Bluesky @skelerang   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Second Sight! Sisko is sad that Picard killed his wife, so he decides to pursue a ghost lady instead. Shenanigans ensue. There's also this scientist guy who won't stop talking. Also, Sisko used to be Bashir in this story. Yes.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Force of Nature! What happens when you try to write a global warming allegory and then realize you've only written about 22 minutes of content for a 45-minute show?

Necessary Evil! What starts out as an attempted murder of Quark leads Odo and Kira on a Colombo-esque blast to the past, all the way back to when Gul Dukat was in charge and Deep Space Nine was Terok Nor, and all the way back to a murder mystery Odo was never able to close. Follow us as we take a fascinating look at a much more inexperienced Odo, a colder Terok Nor, and a hotter Kira with a ponyta...

Attached! Finally, after 7 season of "will they, won't they," Picard and Beverly finally reveal their feelings to each other. Well, at least Picard does, Beverly kinda just goes to bed afterwards. What do they actually want for each other? How did Picard actually feel about Jack? What were his feelings for Beverly? Did Beverly know or care? And finally, will they or won't they?     We have a YouTu...

Rules of Acquisition! Our first look at a Ferengi FE-MALE?! And a close look into Ferengi culture as well?! It's almost like they cared about their worldbuilding or something! Also, there are seven Rules of Acquisition in this episode. Just thought you should know.   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Dark Page! The episode that inexplicably was not named "Dark Place" despite multiple characters saying "Dark Place" and not "Dark Page." Though I can understand why Star Trek was afraid to compete with Garth Marenghu. In any case, this is the episode famous for featuring Kirsten Dunst and revealing that Deanna had an older sister that passed away when she was just a little babby. But our hosts did...

Melora! Star Trek's re-attempt at telling a story about a disabled person! Because the original writer of this episode, Evan Carlos Somers, definitely didn't like the portrayal of disability in Ethics. Y'know, the one with Worf and the barrel. Does DS9 handle such topics better than TNG? Let's dive in and find out!   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new epis...

Phantasms! That's right. The Deanna cake episode. And it comes with a new shirt from us! And also a bunch of other really seemingly random imagery that becomes over-explained by the time the episode wraps. But hey, it's fun to see Data answer a phone call from his chest, or see Beverly drink out Riker's brains through a straw, or seeing Sigmund Freud tell Data to kill them all. Y'know, the usual. ...
