Star Trek The Next Conversation - a comedy Star Trek podcast currently about TV's Deep Space Nine DS9 (or TNG)

LET'S GET READY TO SERIALLLIZZZZZE! Or at least start to as Matt and Andy discuss Frank Langella's refusal to take credit, whether Cardassians and Bjorans are into each other in general, and the fastest and most uneventful prisoner breakout in Trek history. Also, SOMEWHERE IN TIME (starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour) spoiler at 1:06ish.  Yes, SOMEWHERE IN TIME.  [Episode discuss...

There's been a murder and nobody's on the case!  O'Brien sort of is, but he's mostly looking for one of his tools.  Matt fends off the reaction to his take on "Duet" in a super long hailbag, we hear from Maurice Hurley, and Andy wonders why Vedek Winn didn't pick someone who was a better shot. (Episode discussion finally starts around 1:33)

Major Kira goes head-to-head with an alleged Cardassian war criminal as Matt and Andy go head-to-head over whether this episode deserves its highly-ranked status - or whether it even has that status? Also - is this file clerk the greatest living actor of the 24th Century? Episode discussion starts around the 50:00 minute mark.

Are we getting Naked Now?  Are we back wearing our Masks?  Is Masaka waking?  Not really, but it’s definitely another “the crews’ minds are being messed with and they’re not acting like themselves” episode!  Matt and Andy try to untangle who’s paranoid, who’s spacey, and who’s inexplicably building a weird clock prop.  But mostly – what is this story?  Episode discuss...

Andy likes the character development in this episode and Matt was putt off by the utter lack of stakes and or plot movement. Episode discussion begins around 1:07:00

Apologies for the delay, crew! In this ep, Matt and Andy ask why a shapeshifter can be hurt by falling rocks, whether the guest performances in this episode are bizarre or brilliant (or both), and did Odo just break the law so he didn’t have to adopt a kid?  Episode discussion starts at 1:01:50.

All Good Things is here! Andy and Matt get deep into it. (hails available in part 1) Episode discussion begins immediately.

Our hail bag was so big this week it needed its own episode. Which is also available right now. (So please don't consider this a saucer separation, think of it more as an evasive maneuver) Episode discussion.... in the next episode.
