Join our guests Brooke Horton and Patrick Patterson as we jump into the nitty gritty planning and expectations for Star Trek: Mission Chicago!

Raffi and Seven try to find a way to rescue Rios from the position he's gotten himself into, while Jurati needs to make a deal with the Borg Queen to assist. Picard works to trac...

It took a long time to get from there to here... but Discovery Season 4 is finally over. Mike and Johnson provide their thoughts on the finale of Discovery, which are mostly comprised of complaints (justified)? Hopefully a shorter Season 5 will bring us back to tighter storytelling, and and less bewildering character moments. But hey, Stacey Abrams? We then move onto chatting about the Picard epis...

Cris Fox leads us this week into a deep and relevant topic on adversity and inclusion in both Star Wars and Star Trek.  Which of these franchises handles these issues the best, and what can we learn from their examples.  We keep it real, but we also have fun and poke fun at these two fantastically entertaining sci-fi franchises.  Revealing and entertaining conversation is ahead for those brave eno...

Agnes learns a lot from a partial assimilation, and Rios ends up in a medical clinic...

Mike is sick but ever the trooper, and is absolutely ready to talk about Star Trek!! On this week's episode we continue to talk through double servings of Star Trek, starting with Discovery's penultimate episode, "Species 10-C." The only really positive thing that we have to say about this episode is that Tig Notaro has more to do than usual - otherwise we're very ready to move on with our lives....

And this week on Discovery!! - things are dragging. Mike and Johnson discuss the bit of a slog that is "Rosetta," and how this season has teased out the mystery behind Species 10-C for far too long. Whether it's complications due to the pandemic, bad writing, or a combination of the two - we feel that Discovery hasn't really done the best job at sustaining our attention for such a long arc. While...
