The episode where Miles and Keiko O’Brien condemn their feral daughter to an existence of evading constant danger and scavenging poisonous plants and animals for sustenance simply because she’s older than they wanted her to be.

Is Star Trek finally back? We spoil everything, so watch out.

if you ever thought Star Trek was above doing a Halloween episode… Also, Chekov’s hair.

Piggybacking off our last episode, we’ve decided to jump on the nuTrek bandwagon! Every week we’ll be bringing you our hot takes on the latest episodes of Star Trek: Picard. Our normally scheduled program of poring over classic Trek will remain regularly scheduled.

In celebration of our 100th episode (ish) and in preparation for Picard Season 2, we break from the usual grind and look into how our favorite captain is faring as a nonagenarian. We also faced the issue of whether to categorize this episode as TNG or PIC or both.

The episode begins with Mayweather floating aimlessly in zero-g. It's a great harbinger for the entire episode.

Data makes a baby! And not in the fun way.

Archer in a duster. How much more Star Trek can it get? Also, we didn’t realize this Red Dead Redemption episode was about disenfranchised aliens until half the episode was over.

Yet another example of Voyager starting off the episode with exciting potential and then quickly pivoting into something less exciting. The Doctor is sad in this one, so hunker down.

Sorry this episode is so boring. But it’s not really our fault. We’re merely the mouthpieces of clarity for the episodes we watch. So, if the episode doesn’t have much to offer, well, then neither will we. Hopefully it’ll be better next week. But still subscribe and become a patron on Patreon. Thanks.

A very curious episode indeed. Well written, solid visual effects, and a completely toothless ending. Also more captain impersonations.

It wouldn’t be a Star Trek episode without a little misogyny, and boy do they double down on it in this one. Enjoy as we explore the episode which inspired the MemoryAlpha.com and our failing Picard impressions.

There isn’t enough canned applause or synthetic trumpet fanfare that could save this Voyager episode. That’s why it was removed from the episode in 2017, but not on Amazon Prime Video. Just listen and you’ll see what we mean.

We explore the intricacies of Quark’s family, Ferengi women’s rights, and Sisko’s dating life. Join us for this very special episode of The Measure of an Episode.

The earliest of Enterprise episodes reveal shocking interplay between the Andorians and the Vulcans and the Humans. Also, Vulcan day spas.

You’re never going to believe this, but this week’s TOS episode’s plot line seems to be motivated by Kirk acting erratically, off on some rouge mission that may or may not be motivated by a personal vendetta. Who knew?

It’s the fourth season of NextGen and somehow an Original Series script got dropped into the episode programming. It holds its own though, especially considering Cool Geordi shows up.

There’s nothing more titillating than a Voyager episode with a fabulous premise. Our ideas to make it better involve a gamma radiation-soaked crew hulking out and destroying the ship. It escalated quickly this week.

Jeremy is back! And strangely we’re immediately locked into consensus of how much we hated this episode, and also how perplexing it is that the rest of the planet loves this episode. Join us as we prove everyone wrong.
