Your podcast heroes at last reach the end of their weary Voyager season one journey, but run face first into a terrible, discount version of show TNG did so much better.

It's as terrible as it sounded! THEY ENDED THE SEASON ON...

The dreaded 'Snarf Snarf episode' plagues your podcast heroes this week as the impresario of the Space Hobo Kitchen deals with a potentially deadly illness and Joseph and Peter are forced to watch. Surprisingly great performances ensue, but can the writers pull off a heavy episode filled with real world allegories, PTSD, weapons of mass destruction, and the ever-present specter of death? Sadly, yo...

The Voyager makeup department clocks some serious OT as the Vidiians rear their rotting heads this week and Peter and Joseph analyze "Faces".

IT'S THRILLING!  More importantly we discuss mayfly space elf power levels, weaponized Vulcan ball stank, and what the show could have been vs. what it is.

Once again your podcast heroes stand divided – but now the tables have turned! Peter calls "Prime Factors" the best episode he has seen so far, but is his love of personal horror blinding him to the weird sex criminal aliens (led by Jeff Goldblum's eastern European cousin) , another obnoxious alien wardrobe, and weak Janeway writing?  Can Joseph convince him to see the error of his ways? One thing...

In a V'Ger Please first, Joseph and Peter stand on opposite sides on this week's episode! Was "Emanations" a flawed but still thoughtful episode on faith, or was it terrible schlock garbage that failed to provide the spider monster dungeon crawl is so desperately needed? Two podcasters enter, but only one can leave…keep your Federation Raise Dead scrolls handy for this battle royale!

Much to the regret of your podcast heroes, this week Voyager returned to terrible, terrible form!

The very best and worst of Voyager come together in an episode that has both of your podcast heroes alternatively horrified and enraged.  Witness Peter's dedication to identifying sets being reused, British overacting in heavy makeup, all the Space Snarf Snarf medical drama tropes you never wanted, and our spicy hot takes on Janeway being the best while also being the absolute worst.   

This week, your podcast heroes endure the Voyager producers pulling off the rare feat of reusing a plot only three episodes into their run. It takes real talent to rip yourself off this quickly! Voyager encounters another time fart, and only Horny Tom and Captain Janeway can convince an alien race with the worst fashion sense in the quadrant not to accidentally blow themselves up. It's completely...

As Voyager runs headlong into its first Space Problem of the Week in S1:E2 'Parallax', it faces the true scourge of the Delta Quadrant – HR issues!
