V'Ger Please!

It's the shifty antagonists you always need to have show up eventually as we review "Babel One"! When the Romulan/Brujah Primogen starts drone striking a few too many weddings, can Archer make his Diplomacy skill check? Meanwhile, we also review "Godzilla Minus One" and ask if you want us to review....Kindred: The Embraced? 

We review the alpha and the omega of bottle episodes in the form of "Observer Effect"! The producers remember they should probably have Hoshi and Mayweather do some things while the save every dollar they can. Thankfully, it turns out a lot of good actors work on this show! 

It's the episode straight from Peter's darkest industrial accident dreams as we review "Daedalus"! When the Enterprise has on-board the creator of the transporter, horrifying hyjinks ensue as ensigns lose their face, the transporter is confirmed for being a soul elimination device, and the main guest star forgot how to act. 

Nothing like a little torture between friends as we review "Kir'Shara". When Jeffery Combs shows up, you know it's the good stuff as Shran and Soval have some personal time, Archer and T'Pol put on a sweet holographic display, and Koss comes through as too good for his wife anyway. 

The political intrigue only gets more complex as we review "Awakening"! While Archer achieves levels of head trauma no human could dream of as Vulcan Jesus chills out in his brain, Trip tries not to moops his way into interstellar war and Vulcans are blind to hallways. 

This mid science fiction show we were watching suddenly turns into a tight political thriller as we review "The Forge". All those promises to Peter for the good Vulcan content pays off in spades as the Earth embassy gets bomber by Detective Guilty and Archer is on the case!

We finally manage to do a whole Season 4 episode in one go as we review "The Augments"! It's tragic endings all around as we get more jailbreaks, Adam Smasher going full madman, and the most uncomfortable bedroom scene in Trek history.

We enjoy everyone going into Maximum Actor Mode as we finish our review of "Cold Station 12". Compelling drama swirls around us as we see the Nerfed MACOs get punked again, Dr. Soongchez realizes he goofed, and Archer tries to get himself killed twice. 

Your hosts continue to explore the depths of every moment of this suddenly high quality television program as we start our review of "Cold Station 12"! Between the high stakes drama and careful plotting there is very little to criticize, but it does beg one clear question - could have the early 2000's handled Bisexual Phlox? 

We try to use all the Enterprise Season 4 buffalo as we review the second half of "Borderlands"! We get multiple classic jailbreaks, MACOS getting hit with a nerf patch, and Mayweather denied greatness. 

We go deep on the forbidden lore as your heroes discuss the first half of "Borderlands"! An episode so rich with content we had to split our discussion up into two parts, we get the Rick Sanchez arc of the Soong family, Big Show giving airplane rides, and how to make sense of old TOS continuity from the 60's. 

With all that German side plot out of the way, the season really starts as we watch "Home". Everybody has a bad time when the NX-01 returns - we got PTSD, angry drunks, last-second weddings, and Mayweather showing that he is all you ever need to bring to a bar fight. 

Things get a lot worse as we wrap up the NX-01's prior season Quest Log as we review "Storm Front, Part 2"! The writers can't get of the Temporal Cold War fast enough as we straight speed run to the finish, spawn camp some Germans, and get back to the plot we actually want to see. 

We fly into Enterprise's final season with an episode filled with all the C&C Red Alert cutscenes you never saw in "Storm Front"! Just when they thought they earned a rest, the NX-01 faces a Time Zucc  oopsie, powerleveled Germans in New York, and a special guest star from another UPN show. 

We reach the awesome, if inevitable, conclusion as the last TNG character returns for the thrilling Picard S3 finale! We review Episodes 9 -10, Peter has a single tear form in his eye as the Big Bad Galaxy Class Lad returns, and the crew has a final adventure that uses all the memberberries...and we like it! 

Our nostalgic, high-quality final journey with the TNG crew continues as we review Picard S3 Episodes 5-8! It's time to put the band back together while the Titan is on the run, we thankfully start getting a lot less of Michelle Hurd, and we should all be so lucky to get those sweet Old Age Jackets to slim us on camera. 

In this year's most unexpected plot twist, Joseph and Peter watch and real time as Terry Matalas saved Star Trek: Picard from it's garbage fate with it's excellent Season 3! In the first of our trilogy of reviews, we cover Episodes 1-4 and revel in the most rare find of all: good NuTrek. 

With the Xindi arc now (mostly) behind us, Peter and Joseph review the season-that-was of Enterprise! Season 3 was a banger as predicted, but what made it work so well? What could be improved?  Why did they make 'Extinction'? What was the weakest you-know what? Listen and find out!

Earth faces the worst OSHA violation in the galaxy as we watch the thrilling "Zero Hour"! We have shootouts, uncomfortable skin makeup, Mortal Kombat fights, and Best Frenemies showing up with the steel chair! Maybe...too much.

It's all hands on deck as we review Season 3's penultimate  offering, "Countdown"! Hoshi has a Very Bad Time with her new friends, Diplomat Archer continues to emerge, Major Hayes is two weeks from retirement, and we realize Smouldering Catcher Guy isn't gone...because he has been with us all season. 

The Terminus Systems Arc begins it's climax as the NX-01 rolls in for "The Council". As Archer puts on his best Diplomacy Face, he tries to convince the the Xindi that maybe religiously motivated genocide is bad. Meanwhile, T'Pol leads a MACO to the most redshirt-y death of all time and Degra makes the mistake of resolving his backstory.

When NX-01 tries to take the shortcut on the space county road, they run into themselves in " E Squared"! Space Elf General Brewster and friends thinks it is gonna be one way...but will it be the other?

Enterprise moves into full 'war is hell' mode as we review "The Forgotten". The crew of the NX-01 digs deep on the heavy questions - death, grief, perseverance - as Trip finds himself in choking distance of Space Oppenheimer. Also, will Reed finally achieve his fondest wish of dying on the ship's hull? 

Your hosts continue to revel in the sudden hard upshift in quality of this roller coaster they call Enterprise as we review "Damage". After the NX-01 gets half its hull plates blown off, the crew survives...but Archer is meeting Sea World People, the crew goes full pirate, and T'Pol has the most unfortunate addiction ever. 

Strap yourselves in, as a whole new show starts as we arrive at "Azati Prime"! This one truly has everything - Time Zucc, relationship drama, murders, Trek lady weak zone exploitation, and all the traumatic brain injury you can handle (also lots of compelling drama and action good grief this was good)!
