Trek to the Holodeck

In this totally, super-Christmasy episode, the holobois watch The Doctor bring the holiday cheer by chopping Socrates in half and freaking Kes out! It's because of his personality subroutines, you see. It DOES inspire Jan and Dylan to watch "THE HOWLING", which is a movie about werewolves starring Robert Picardo. Which would make a great episode on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Marc Cooper, Darius Ha...

It's the long awaited 6th episode! In this Momento style episode, Kes is traveling back in time, but forward with memory. (does that even make sense?) Harry Kim is sorta creepy in this one! Janeway dies! no. seriously. All this and more on this weeks... TREK TO THE HOLODECK!

Jan writes the descriptions but wasn't on the episode, so here's what he guesses happened: Marc brings up how Chakotay's actor is a bit problematic these days. Darius points out some pretty obvious sexism in the story (something about how it's all through the lens of a male). Dylan thinks a costume is "rad". In the episode, Paris and Kim go to a PEARL JAM concert to hang out with some grunge girls...

New Season! Official new co-host! New recap speed! AND it's spooky season as the holobois watch Dax "split" her former hosts into an acting exercise for the main cast. How do universal translators really work? Do people password share their holosuite subscription? Does Nog succeed in studying for his starfleet entrance exam on... THE HOLODECK? Hosted by Marc Cooper, Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Ha...

The much anticipated finale of Season 4 packed with end-to-end disagreement and conflict! Is this episode BAD or GOOD? Is it a SNOOZER?! Who will take whose side as this full house of holobois discuss the very tense scenes between Famke Janssen and Patrick Stewart as they absoiutely 100% do not bang on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Marc Cooper, Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefr...

Jan is gone and things get craaaaaazy! The Way of the Warrior?... more like The Way of the... WARRIOR! Right?! The holobois chat about DS9's new intro, how awesome all of the guest stars are, and almost lose it doing improv. All this and more on this weeks... TREEEEK TO THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Marc Cooper Computer Voice provided by Verona Blue Music...

Captain Montgomery Scott gets beamed out of an old ship's transporter buffer to take young ensigns' jobs! The holobois go absolutely nuts in the archives as Pert, Tom Space and Lo'Pek lament how hard it is for their generation to make it in Starfleet. Plus, Scotty and Picard have a drink on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefrancois-Gijzen Computer Vo...

The holobois take on their first Prodigy episode and.… it’s good! All this and more on this weeks TREK TO THE HOLODECK!

Chakotay has gone into a persistent vegetative state! Which means his spirit is free to do some light possession of Voyager crewmembers in order to turn the ship away from a nebula fool of heavy possession aliens. It's kind of a snoozer! Plus, the holobois go back to the origins of the Janeway Lambda One program to a much spookier rendition of Lord Burleigh's home on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Mar...

Jan's writing the description here and he doesn't really remember much about this episode. Perhaps most important to internalize is Captain Janeway's new nickname is J-Sway. She got that nickname romancing bargain bin Colin Firth on... THE HOLODECK!

Somehow, Voyager month has returned. Kes gets possessed by a psychopathic warlord, which means Jennifer Lien gets to have some fun running around giving her henchmen brain aneurysms. Plus, this is the first ever episode taking place on Neelix's Paxau resort program. You've never seen so many close-ups of feet before on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Marc Cooper, Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-S...

It's an ocean in SPACE! This is the infamous episode where Tom Paris gets demoted for becoming an eco-terrorist on a planet made entirely out of water. Why? Because the planet's government simply just... doesn't want to fix the problem (even though it's literally fixable). The holobois talk about the value of replicator rations (how many rations would you be willing to spend for a single Banh mi?)...

The boys add to the expanding Trek to the Holodeck Universe's starship fleet with the USS Smorgasburg, a ship traveling Federation space to offer the best in multi-ethnic Federation cuisines on offer. Oh, and they rate the excellent Lower Decks episode that references both Hawai'i and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan...

A two-hander again, featuring Marc Cooper, as we watch the backdoor pilot for STARFLEET LEGAL in this LeVar Burton-directed banger. Worf is on trial, but not for all the good reasons (Iike being a bad friend, brother, dad...) but for being bad at captaining a starship (he blew up a civilian transport without hesitation). It's a pretty cool mashup of Kurosawa's Rashomon and Spike Lee's Clockers as...

It's Majel Barrett's first appearance on The Next Generation and, as will often be the case, she's here due to some wedding shenanigans. In this case, it's Troi's! Who is for some reason arranged to be married to some nerd named Wyatt, who's always dreaming of a blonde lady. And there's a ton of drama going on starting with Riker stuck in deep thought on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Marc Cooper, Dar...

Back from our (un)planned single-week hiatus, Marc Cooper joins for the ultimate wedding episode of Star Trek: that of Worf and Jadzia Dax! It's silly, funny, and one of the best Star Trek has to offer. But how does it rate on our scale? Find out why Bashir and O'Brien want to "kill Worf" on... THE HOLODECK!

In this episode, there are two A-plots equally underdeveloped: Data violates the Prime Directive so he can talk to an alien tween and Riker puts Wesley in charge of a crack team of space geologists. And yeah, maybe one of them is smoking meth. Featuring season 2's only on-location shot of Picard horseback riding on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefr...

The Voyager crew gets marooned on a planet full of prehistoric humanoids and snake monsters. Neelix gets a dude killed because he's greedy for bones. And The Doctor manipulates the reforming serial killer Suder into killing again. Oh and... Jan really blew it when he thought this episode had any content on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith and Jan Lefrancois-Gi...

It's a four-person crew as Marc joins the discussion about Space Oppenheimer and Neelix's PTSD. But really, it's all about the never-ending "Transporters are the Printers of the Future" bit. Oh, yeah, and because it's Voyager, the whole episode starts with some pool hustling on... THE HOLODECK!

Belanna gets a weird space alien parasite friend, so The Doctor needs some help to get it off her. Help he can only get from a hologram of a Cardassian (Nazi) doctor. Will Belanna survive? Will The Doctor perform war crimes? Also: what would it be like to retire on Voyager with nothing to do for 7 years? Find out this week on... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Darius Hamilton-Smith, Dylan Hamilton-Smith a...

The holobois break their incredibly important rule and rate the series premiere of, arguably, the best Trek show in years?! Star Trek is horny again! There's diplomacy! And meaningful character development! And (motivated) running in hallways! It's all so good it may not be real? it must be on... THE HOLODECK!
