startrek #lowerdecks https://www.patreon.com/Treksploration Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 7 “Fully Dilated.” This episode is a wonderful take on time travel, and the nature and value of friendship in building a meaningful existence, all wrapped up in a nostalgic Trek bow with the return of a beloved TNG character. But we c...

https://www.patreon.com/c/Treksploration Buckle up, because this episode is about to go warp speed! Albie and Christopher, the ultimate Trekkies, boldly go where many have gone before – into the depths of Star Trek fandom. These guys dissect everything from Ollie’s electrifying adventures in Lower Decks 506: “Of Gods and Angles” (someone get that one a surge protector!) to the pr...

Albie and Chris show off some of their Star Trek collections! It’s a clip show!

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 5 “Star Base 80?!” Plunge with us into the midseason lunacy of Lower Decks! Don’t worry, we’ll keep you safe and well fed. Albie has corndogs, a wetsuit, and serious beardy Boimler energy. And Chris sort of asks the question, “What does a starship need with a whale?” on...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 4 “A Farewell to Farms.” Albie’s pogonophobia is put to the test in this surprisingly broad and deceptively deep episode about a day in the life on Qou’noS. Even Chris enjoys himself, and he’s mostly a petaQ when it comes to Lower Decks. Come to get you King-on, and stay to h...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 3 “The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel.” Well, “talk about” may be too strong a claim. We “talk…” “…about” things, but this outing of Lower Decks is not chief among them. And we wish we could just chalk it up to some contrived miscommunication, but we w...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 2 “Shades of Green.” Albie goes green for all the pirate fun and games in the further adventures of Tendi. Chris talks until he’s Oh-REE-un Blue in the face about the surprisingly deep B-story with Boims and Beckett.  And fandoms collide with Chris’s sweet Trek ’n’ Tell!  Join the di...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about ENT S1 Episodes 1 & 2 “Broken Bow.” Turns out that Enterprise fandom has indeed been along road for both hosts, who are now Warp 5 converts to one of Star Trek’s most unfairly maligned shows. Find out why! And no, the Scott Bakula Quantum Leap connection is not the primary reason — though it doesn’t...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about VOY S1 Episodes 1 & 2 “Caretaker.” Break out the banjos and corn on the cob, because we’re celebrating, Delta Quadrant-style, with our review of the series premiere of Voyager! Hot take: Chris doesn’t hate it! Less-hot take: Albie feels like he’s coming home! Hair of the Kazon that bit him? Speakin...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about DS9 S1 Episodes 1 & 2 “Emissary.” Join us as we light out for the wormhole, and brace yourselves for a lovefest of embarrassing proportions as we gush, and gush – and gush some more – about the premiere of Deep Space Nine. Seriously, it’s a lot. But in a good way. Also, Albie has a Pah-wraith. Join the d...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about TOS S1 Episode 0 “The Cage.” We go back to where it all began with the original Star Trek pilot, and fan-gush over Susan Oliver.

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about DSC S5 E5 “Mirrors.” We reflect on DISCO’s sorta kinda sequel to the classic TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror” and Albie goes all Terran on its wormhole. After speculating on the what the worst part of Moll could be, we get down to the matter at hand: who’s the better Saavik? Join the discussion in ou...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about TNG S1 E5 “Where No One Has Gone Before.” https://www.patreon.com/c/Treksploration We’re no Mozarts of Time, Energy and Propulsion, but we have a pretty okay discussion about (among other things) Picard’s innermost fears, targ poop and Wesley Crusher Boy Genius. Allow our thoughts to become the b...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about TNG S1 E3 “Code of Honor.” This infamous episode’s reputation precedes it (with good reason), but there’s so much more to talk about. Is Trek’s notion of “Humanity” hubristic? When does the Prime Directive turn from a noble guiding principle into a practical liabilit...

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about Discovery S5 E4 “Face the Strange.” Trek time travel is back, baby, and we have a ball talking about the twists and turns of this episode! Which leads to a broader discussion about the evolution of Discovery over the years. Could it be that we have a new-found appreciation for Disco?

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about Discovery S5 E3 “Jinaal.” We revel in Disco’s return to Trill and the callbacks to many elements of classic Trek – one of which led to an inspired performance by Wilson Cruz. But is it enough to counterbalance the multiple plodding relationship melodramas or big dumb invisible bug fig...

Albie and Christopher discuss Star Trek Discovery Season 5 Episode 2, ‘Under the Twin Moons’ They share their first impressions of the episode and discuss the grandiose and melodramatic nature of the show.

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about DSC S5 E1 “Red Directive.” It’s a time of mixed feelings on Treksploration, because we really wanna like DISCO. We REALLY do.

Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris are fully functional for TNG S1 E3 “The Naked Now.” It’s only episode two, and TNG is already going back to the TOS well for this take off of the classic series episode “The Naked Time.” A space virus leads to ENT D sexytimes, establishing many lasting character dynamics for the Next Gen c...

When Christopher Met Albie. Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this, the premiere episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about the TNG series opener “Encounter at Farpoint.” We go back to where it all began for the second time, when Gene Roddenberry reinvented Star Trek for a new generation and ushered in what many consider the golden age of Trek. But does this maiden voyage of t...
