Star Trek Resignation

It's the two part finale to season 4 of Star Trek: Lower Decks and Wade took notes! What works for Star Trek, what works for Lower Decks, and what doesn't exactly work? Why might that be? Hey RoA fans: TWO new rules of Acquistion! If there's one scifi space cartoon you should watch... it's  SCAVENGERS REIGN https://patreon.com/kickersofelves    

It was bound to happen.  We liked one episode. We liked another one less. The o'l Hunka Chunka. Episodes discussed: For a Few Badgey's More Caves There's more on the KoE patreon! https://patreon.com/kickersofelves  

We've got betazoids! We got Ferengi! There's some DS9 in here. Remember the quintessential 90s HBO rauchy sitcom Dream on? We like these episodes.   https://patreon.com/kickersofelves  

We like this show.  Is it Star Trek enough? Yeah sure it is.  It's also a sitcom that's found its momentum.   www.patreon.com/kickersofelves Let us know how you feel about Sean's Anatomy or Heel of Time.  Or whatever you want to talk about. ... ... ...We don't need to discuss OnlyFans Tv. 

Star Trek: Lower Decks is back and so are we to talk about the first two episodes of Season 4:  Twovix and I have No Bones and I Must Flee . Plus Wade caught up on Strange New Worlds and it brings him no pleasure to say he really liked it thank you very much.

It's finally over.  Is this an over indulgent finale?  Does the fan service hold up?  We think it's worth your time to indulge in 90s nostaligia, of Canadian sketch comedy and Star Trek alike. Mostly Star Trek, if we're being honest.   Hard talk about whether the finale of Star Trek Picard held up.     Plus Rod Torfulson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck (We're gonna make it).

Only two more episodes left, and we're podcasting on the edge of release.  We don't know what the deal is with Jack Crusher, but maybe you've watched episode nine and know. Whole lot to go over in this one.  Also, we're filthy. Be happy with the what got cut.  

Regrets. I've had a few. Has Picard? We watched two episode of a Star Trek show and had positive and negative reactions. What kind of references worked well and which felt unsatisfying? Can a viewer who knows nothing about Trek have an emotional reaction to a callback to a show from 30 years ago? Turns out it's all in how you use it. [*editors note: Horatio Hornblower. He knows]

Have the wrongs of the past been repaired?  What is this about a Dominion War? How does technobabble supplement melodrama? Wade is too excited for all the ways the show has fixed his problems.  Glen is still reeling from the pain of what's come before and is not quite ready to trust again.  Sean is down for it.

After a long hiatus, and skipping right over the rest of Picard Season 2, Strange New Worlds, and more; your old pals and that one aquaintance finally get back into resignation mode and see what's happening with our Start Trek: TNG friends.  It's Picard Season 3! 

Discovery! Picard! The Secret Cabal behind all of Nu Trek! Things are said. Opinions are reversed.  Think this is some toxic podcast that hates Star Trek?  This episode... may surprise you!  

We take a break from Star Trek because Glen really needed this. Enjoy some minor key fantasy tinklings and listen to a Robert Jordan superfan, a guy who never finished the books, and a guy we made watch a TV show tear into Amazon's Wheel of Time.   From the Kickers of Elves Patreon! https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

We didn't have constitution or class to talk about every espisode of Star Trek Discovery season 4, but we have to come clean on how our feelings have changed.  For those who disagreed with us in the past ... you're welcome. SqueeCore is discussed. Here's the source to hear where the "controversy" in SFF began over at RiteGud ( https://kittysneezes.com/a-guide-to-squeecore/ )

You know: For Kids! Is Star Trek: Prodigy a good Star Trek pilot?  We had to talk about it.

Is this one of the best season enders of Star Trek?  Does episodic tv have something to teach all those overly serialized prestige dramas? "wej Duj" and "First First Contact" show that the show can do more than just reference comedy.   So we talk all about those, as well as... We are so mad at Glen for not watching Cheers Federation News Service Alert about the Ferengi. U mad bro?  What  does the...

Wade, Glen and Sean are back to cover "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie" and "I, Excretus" You may be here for the Star Trek nerdery, we go all comedy nerd to point out comedian cameos. Status Report is DEAD. What will replace it?  Speaking of things dying… Hey watch Review why doncha? 

Maybe not everyone's favorite, maybe it is.  It's doing the work, and so are we.  Mostly. We talk about: An Embarrassment of Dooplers The Spy Humungous Special thanks to Lane Bowen

Wade and Glen talk with Lane Bowen. Remember him?!  What happened to Sean? What works on this show more than other shows.  How did we feel about the monkey sex? What a bunch of nerds.

The old new crew is back again.   Lotsa references in this cartoon show. We like it!   Catch up with us. https://patreon.com/kickersofelves https://twitter.com/kickerspodcasts  

We're nerd cornering way too hard. Can the pod take this much longer?   The answer might not surprise you! For more Kickers of Elves content while you contemplate the galactic abyss check out https://kickersofelves.com https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Wait. we LIKE this one! Now let's tear it apart! [not really] Turns out the solution was staring at us all along!  Ok. Let's talk s#!t.  Literally.   Status Report: Hope you like Barton Fink references!  

Space mutants! Call the X-Men.   Hey, some things worked about this episode.   Other things… did not.   Some of us like Osyraa.   Almost.  Sukal be goofy. Is it.. Problematic?  Glen fails the marshmallow test. WE FIX EVERYTHING. Ending things can be hard. 

If you listened to the last one, you know we didn't like Terra Firma AT ALL.   But if you want further details of everything that's wrong with this episode, and how would we fix it…   Listen to this! Hey, we like one of the costumes.

Sean's first mirror universe! He is SHOCKED by what he sees.   Glen has gone back to Mirror Mirror to verify.  We get into the dirt and talk about restraint, a thing -well ok perhaps a thing we lack.   Seans imaginary country music podcast is suddenly a real live country music podcast.
