The Complete J.R. Watches Star Trek For the First Time

SUNDAY, MAY 19, 2013 Quien Es Mas Macho? De nuevo. Just so you all know, oftentimes we're most critical to the things we love most. Here's our convo about the new movie. It was dorky and interesting and amusing. Share with friends. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, princesses 5:42 --  Star Trek Into Darkness 1.25:00 -- Viewer mail 1.44:40 -- Awards and rankings 1.54:54 --  Star Trek 3  pr...

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2013 You wanted it! You got it!  Voyager  begins! And with it, hot escalator action! This week we were also joined (Trilled, as it were) by the illustrious Justin, the master chief of the Facebook page. His hatred of  Voyager  is so severe that he's seen every episode a mere three times. Fun is had. You will have fun listening or we'll refund the cost of the download. Str...

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 2013 We exist here no more. Thus ends DS9. Here it is. This is it. Here. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, weight, extracurriculars, terrible old podcasts, new listeners 19:10 -- "What You Leave Behind (Part 9 (Parts 1 and 2))" 48:57 -- "What You Leave Behind (Part 9 (Parts 1 and 2))" viewer mail 1.17:03 -- Podcast awards and ranking 1.24:39 -- Season 7 aw...

TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013 Every few years we have to talk about Depeche Mode quite a bit. It's impossible to calculate just how many ways the cultures of Depeche Mode and Star Trek overlap. If you wanna get right into the trekkin', go ahead and skip the first half hour. Eventually we tackle parts 5-8 of the big DS9 finale. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, March Madness, watchin' stuff,...

MONDAY, MARCH 25, 2013 Alright. Gettin' this sucker in just in time for J.R.'s birthday. March 25. Everyone say  hi. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, soccer, Hunger Games, Veronica Mars movie, Trekoff movie, Star Wars again, 15-second Empire, Twitter celebrities, March Madness,  Voyager  episodes 25:01 -- Best celebrity meetings 30:22 -- "Penumbra (Part 1)" 49:18 -- "'...

SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 2013 It's seriously quite scary how close to the end we are to the end of DS9. Almost as scary as how quickly Ezri episodes got tiresome. The promised Vic Fontaine vs. Sloane smackdown wasn't delivered, but at least that spread the characters over more than one episode. Oh, btw, we recorded this about a week ago. That means we hilariously talked about Carrie Fisher being...

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2013 Isn't it funny that as much as we love Star Trek, the un-Star Trekkiest things are what we most look forward to seeing? Vic Fontaine, this one's for you. Btw, if you bother listening to the outtakes, we start by watching highlights of Russian meteor footage. That may be slightly confusing out of context. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 --  Doctor Who , Netflix, John Way...

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2013 We took a 40-minute chew the fat chat this time around since it's been so long. Obviously we needed to weigh in a little on the whole J.J. Abrams Star Wars thing, so consider listening to that before skipping ahead to 39:49 to listen to us talk and promptly forget about the episode "Chrysalis." Moving on -- Nog loses his leg (spoiler). It's good to be b...

MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2012 Home stretch! Here comes season 7 and here comes Ezri Dax. It's a big enough deal that this podcast somehow went longer than the last one which was the season wrap-up. Also, Skype is a funny thing. Sometimes we don't hear each other. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH 2:08 -- 26 seconds 4:56 -- Top Christmas treats 13:12 -- Hobbit, Trek trailer, etc. 30:30 -- &quot...

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2012 It's the DS9 season 6 wrap-up! This one's jam-packed too. Usually we only cover two episodes on the season wrap ups, but FOUR are covered here totally for free! These aren't any normal DS9 episodes. Every single one of these four episodes made either a best of or a worst of list for the season. Well, obviously "Profit and Lace" did. That's worth a...

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2012 A few Skype hiccups make J.R. a little hard to understand on this one in some places. Sorry! Fortunately, with context and the fact that he complains about the same things all the time, you should get the gist just fine. Hey, if you don't like listening this time, we've provided lots and lots of links in the show notes. Click away if you're bored. Just so you...

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2012 We were hoping to have this one ready for Halloween, but instead we'll just have it ready for the election. And for those of you worried about the future of our country, it turns out J.R. won't be voting. This podcast is at least 50% awesomer because we actually convinced Listener Lane to join us the whole time. Listen to him! His patience is exemplary. Podcast br...

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 Or perhaps the title should be "Breaking Ben?" Maybe "Breaking Bad Ben?" Ach. Now we're overthinking it. Now if only old Benny were wearing a  Mad Men  hat. Anyway, we get Dukat going crazy, Sisko going crazy, the usual requisite Ferengi caper and of course the  Innerspace rip-off . Halloween fun is starting too. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqn...

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 Feel free to be turned off by the surprising amount of political discussion at the beginning of this one. We're hoping to get several diatribes over the next week telling us who to vote for (actually, we're really not. So these episodes were pretty harmless, right? Hey, you just fight a war, may as well goof off a little. J.R. will surprise you with his favori...

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012 This one's long. Freeeeeeakishly long. Do you have the attention span to get all the way through it? Do you want your commute to be that extremely geeky? Not only do we bust up the six-episode arc that begins Season 6 of DS9, but we also get a full report of the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention AND chat with a fellow Star Trek fan also in convention attendance. All of...

FRIDAY, JULY 27, 2012 Alright so it's Sunday morning, so we're sort of well rested. Still pretty tired though. Pulled together just enough energy to slog through another season wrap-up. This was a pretty good season, but we made fun of lots of stuff regardless. Btw, if you haven't seen  The Dark Knight Rises  yet, be sure not to listen to our 20-minute outtake. Podcast breakdown: 0:00...

TUESDAY, JULY 10, 2012 Hopefully you had a wonderful Independence Day. For you people in Britain, remember we totally left your butts. Ha ha ha! Also, thanks for giving us  The IT Crowd . These episodes were really really good. But we still made fun of them. Oh, and btw, I could not find a decent mp3 of the Stadium of Fire themesong. I'll continue looking. Be patient. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -...

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2012 This podcast is upside down. You'll know what we mean in the first 30 seconds or so. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- "A Simple Investigation" 18:32 -- "Business As Usual" 35:37 -- "Ties of Blood and Water" 53:42 -- "Ferengi Love Songs" 1.03:41 -- Awards and rankings 1.13:24 -- nuqneH (Avett Brothers, Jem, Beatles) 1.28:07 -- Top 5 1.3...

TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 2012 We dreamed a dream that we'd be done with Deep Space Nine by now. But actually, at the end of the day we could do without the empty chairs and empty tables. Alas. One day more. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, running, Snow White, Legend, Les Miz, Sleeping Beauty 26:53 -- Viewer mail 37:22 -- Music videos 54:49 -- "For the Uniform" 1.15:39 -- "In Purgator...

THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 Doesn't this remind you a little of Podcast 100a? Anyway, smack in the middle of DS9 Season 5. What do we get? Disney princesses. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH, soccer, Avengers, new movies 12:09 -- Disney princesses 31:54 -- Viewer mail 34:18 -- "The Ascent" 46:46 -- "Rapture" 1.03:22 -- "The Darkness and the Light" 1.14:46 -- "The...

SUNDAY, MAY 6, 2012 Okay, sorry this is late. Sorry. However, we may have had the best as well as the worst episode from DS9 season 5, plus another pretty good one... aaaaaannnd another pretty bad one. All this and a bunch of nonsense regarding The Avengers and a little Depeche Mode. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH (DM 101, Blunderbuss, soccer) 15:06 -- Top five Avengers movies 33:10 -- Sci-fi t...

MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2012 No blurb this time. We're right into it. Here's part 2 of our  Trekoff podcast  simulcast is NOW! Almost called this one "Cyrano Woman, Cyrano Cry." Would that have been a better title. There is an unnecessary amount of stress associated with naming these things. Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH :39 -- "Looking for Par'Mach in All the Wrong Places...

FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2012 Two people equals two hours. We should have realized that four people would equal four hours. Podcast 100 turned out to be so galactic that we had to split it up. Obviously, many many thanks for Justin and Alexia from the  Trekoff podcast  joining in on the fun and putting up with us with zero complaints. Just so you're all aware, MOST of the part 1 mp3 is actually the b...

TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 2012 Some minor episodes to discuss this week, but we know why you're really tuning in -- the DS9 Season 4 breakdown! This way you don't even have to listen to all the other podcasts dealing with DS9's fourth season! Don't you just hate this image of Brunt, though? Podcast breakdown: 0:00 -- nuqneH (Debarge, Wilson Phillips, running, Hunger Games, Les Miserables,...

SUNDAY, MARCH 25, 2012 Alright, the competition/alliance/weirdness between this podcast and the Trekoff Podcast is in full swing! Also... we went back to the precedented -- we actually talked about Star Trek... hard core! We had an early celebration for J.R.'s birthday and talked about a bunch of other random stuff. I don't know why I just typed that. Is it still considered saying random s...
