This week on Lower Decks, Boimler, Tendi and Mariner discover a scheme by the dreaded Delta Shift to manipulate a ship lottery on some fancy new living quarters.  They begin a quest to get to the one terminal on the entire ship so that they can beat the Delta's at their own game. Along the way, they run into some unexpected challenges, like a Holodeck "Bonnie & Clyde" simulation run by Shax and Dr...

After the deluge of news that came out of Star Trek Day, Johnson and Mike find themselves with a lack of Star Trek updates to talk about - so they lean into discussing all the current stuff they're watching, including House of the Dragon, The Rings of Power, The Expanse (technically a rewatch), and The Handmaid's Tale. This leads into a conversation about the portrayal of complex characters in TV...

Another week, another flurry of Star Trek news! This time around, we have all the announcements and trailers coming out of Star Trek Day.

And it's another week with no new Star Trek. To ward off impending withdrawal symptoms, Mike and Johnson decide to dip back into the past, and examine how Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country applies to our modern sentiments.
