The People v. Star Trek: Voyager

Tv EN ↓ 190 episodes

Is Star Trek: Voyager good... or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only hope for finding answers are three voices from the ancient past: The apologist, the hater, and the dude...

Is it possible that we learn a little too...

Case 6.8: One Small Step 28.03.2022

Against her better judgment, Seven gets roped into Chakotay’s nerdy anthropology hobby! Will joining an away mission to recover a pre-WW3 space vessel from the belly of a roving subspace phenomenon help her discover her love of aerospace history? Was Zephraim Cochran just some first-contact also-ran whose only notable contribution was inventing warp drive? Will this episode be one giant leap for S...

Is there such a thing as true self, or are we simply just what we are at any given moment? Should Tuvok be worried that no one seems to miss the old him all that much? Is “Riddles” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Case 6.5: Alice 05.03.2022

SCARLET ALERT FOR VERY R-RATED AND EXTRA SEXY LANGUAGE (seriously, more than usual). The Space Sex Court convenes for the first time to litigate the dark and steamy tale of a handsome, young ensign who must choose between staying true to his longtime girlfriend and making love to a derelict murdership he picked up in a junkyard! Will Tom follow his new obsession into the forbidden arms of garbage-...

Case 6.4: Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy 21.02.2022

Deep within a secret laboratory in the deserts of Nevada, a team of government researchers smashes through sacrosanct boundaries of science and ethics to finally achieve ABSOLUTE PICARDO— and an episode of Voyager is born!

More importantly, is “Barge of the Dead” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Case 6.2: Survival Instinct 10.02.2022

The sins of Seven’s past come back to haunt her (again), this time in the form of three Borg Buddies toting a grudge against their former tertiary adjunct. Can she make up for mistakes she made in the name of the Collective? Is this the last time Season 6 will trot out the “individualism vs. collectivism” argument, or the first of many? Who did Tom and Harry kill in that street fight? Is “Survival...

Season 6 is finally here, and its first mission is to mop up the mess left by Season 5!

Case 5.27: Season Five Finale 15.01.2022

At long last, Season 5’s fate is decided— in an original musical extravaganza! Pushed to the brink by this contentious slate of episodes, the legal heroes of the Space Court express their angst through the majesty of song and dance, except you have to imagine the dance part because it’s a podcast. In the midst of it all, a thorough recounting of the facts in evidence is provided before the Patreon...

It’s PvSTV ROAD RULES II as the court once again goes mobile in search of justice and affordable regional vittles! Will Janeway and the crew survive an encounter with their evil Federation counterparts? Will the court survive an encounter with an evil Waffle House counterpart? Is it safe to mix fried pickles, scrambled eggs, and hand-churned ice cream? Is Equinox GOOD... or is it GARBAGE?

Case 5.25: Warhead 26.05.2021

Case 5.22: Someone to Watch Over Me 07.05.2021

The Doctor makes a gentleman’s wager that he can school up Seven on human rituals of dating and romance, then makes the whole thing weird by catching feelings of his own. Will Seven learn to dance, dance, dance all night, or will the rain in Spain stay mainly on the Doctor’s pain? Is there anything Jeri Ryan can’t do?

Should this episode be jettisoned with the rest of the theta radioactive waste? Is “Juggernaut” GOOD... or is...

Case 5.20: Think Tank 21.04.2021

In an especially far-fetched episode of Voyager, a prominent think tank jeopardizes the well-being of their clients in support of their own bottom line! Crazy, right? Can Janeway and Seven outthink the thinkingest bunch of thinkers in the Delta Quadrant? Will a guest spot from the star of the TV remake of Bye Bye Birdie (he was also on Seinfeld) sway the court’s opinion? Is “Think Tank” GOOD... or...

Case 5.19: The Fight 14.04.2021

Chakotay’s whole life was a million-to-one shot, but this time, he’s fighting not for glory, not for money, but for love (of ship and crew). His fights have been easy, but an upstart (alien) is going to make him prove just how far he can still go. The only thing he can’t do is walk away (because the ship is stuck in chaotic space). He’ll find out that legacy is more than just a name (or whatever m...

Case 5.17: The Disease 01.04.2021

Ensign Kim ain’t got a fever, got a permanent disease, and it’ll take more than the Doctor to prescribe a remedy! He’s got lots of duties but it isn’t what he needs, and he don’t wanna take a shot to set his serotonin free! He’s got all the symptoms, count’ em, 1-2-3, first he sneaks (that’s what you get for falling in love!), then he freaks (you get a little and it’s never enough)! Now Ensign Kim...

Case 5.15 and 5.16: Dark Frontier - Parts 1 & 2 10.03.2021

It’s Dark Frontier on the Drunk Frontier, and the quality of the discussion is more dubious than ever! Voyager finally offers up the Hansen family backstory long demanded by the masses, but will it be enough to save this movie-length tale from the rum-soaked scorn of the court? Can the Borg be outfoxed again? Will Janeway and Seven upgrade their dynamic from “contentious” to “romantically contenti...

Case 5.14: Bliss 02.03.2021

When the Voyager crew finds all of their most modest dreams kind of coming true, stalwart buzzkill Seven of Nine must weaponize her skepticism to save the ship from the big worm thing behind the illusion.
