Wait... Where's Spock?

This week, Amaia and Mat search for the meaning of life...errr...no, wait...I mean a reason to live...after watching this week's episode - KIDDING! It's not THAT bad...it's not ALL that bad. Though it is extremely hard not to stop yourself repeatedly blinking whenever the main guest star is on screen due to just HOW CLOSE TOGETHER his eyes are...SO close. Nonetheless, they find time to...

Amaia and Mat are BACK with a BANG for 2026 - and that bang is Romulan-shaped and pretty bang-y. We get well-tailored outfits, we get political thrills, we get water at exactly 12 onikans - baby!...we get the LOT! We also, unfortunately - for us, anyway - Shakespeare (maybe we would've preferred some more Sherlock Holmes), but there's also top form Steward and a GREAT main guest star. So p...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat make quite a lot out of not much at all really, and in doing so realise that they actually enjoyed talking about this episode more than watching it...except for Lisa Wilcox...she's TOTALLY a nailed on chance of making the best guest stars shortlist and we're not even half way through yet. Oh! And the whole post-apolyptic Mad Max action...that was p...

This week, Amaya and Mat recoil in disgust as Star Trek gets its Tarantino-esque FREAK on, via Troi's oiled-up feet!!! And that's just the cherry on top of a generally creepy sexed-up episode - though that doesn't take away from some actually decent diplomatic negotiation action, and a handful of cracking lines! So grab your KY and vomit bag (or hand cloth) and settle in for the sound...

This week, Amaya and Mat - well, Hell! They have a hoot in the season's best episode, with easily the coldest Worf moment we've ever had, and an absolute masterpiece in redemption from Geordi after last week's horror show. No jokes. That is all. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat experience the joys of holodeck beach dating and 4D chess against the background of the remains of a long-dead civilisation...only for it all to come crashing down in a steaming heap of beep-bop technobabble and creepy AI making out. God bless you, Lieutenant La Forge, you deserved SO much better. On the plus side, you do get to hear Mat's brain explod...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat explore Star Trek bondage fan-fic....errr....no sorry! Wrong episode! Bonding! That's it. And they also set a new record for diverging from the actual episode! This one, though, has got the lot: Wes bringing it; Picard bringing it; Troi bringing it...in a bad 1980's therapist way; there's both appropriate and inappropriate touching; aaaaand.......

This week, Amaya and Mat journey into the Prime Directive with one simple mission: for God's sake, try and stop Mat talking SO much about nothing in order to keep the episode under 2 hours...unfortunately, here in the present we know their mission failed. BUT...we get a bit of everything: Buffy (as always); Star Trek: the Motion Picture, aaaand; HOTTEST of hot takes...Patrick Stewart ain't...

This week, it's all location, location, location, as Amaia and Mat visit the set of that classic late 70's British post-apoc TV series, Survivors - they WISH (well...Mat wishes). Nope, its a mystery episode, with genocide, aliens, space battles, and BONUS Troi-trauma (Marina Sirtis gets to emote all over the shop), and, what, only the second actual outdoor location of the series so far? Pe...

On this week's episode, Mat forgets to set up his microphone properly, and so the quality of his audio - not just his commentary - is very poor, AND...he's recovering from an extended sickness, so he sounds like death barely warmed up. So it's up to Amaia to hold it all up, with searing critical insight...mostly about some movies she's seen recently, but she also talks about this e...

WE'RE BACK for the opening episode of Season 3, and we're here for the new adolescent acne and the new haircuts and the new two-piece uniforms. And, of course, we don't shy away from the big questions: like, what does the first episode of the season augur, and will Wes ever get a date? Tune in and find out - and welcome back!

In the final episode of the season, Amaya and Mat wrap up with an overall review of Season 2 - the best bits, the not-so-best bits, the Suzie Plakson bits - our thoughts about Season 3 and what needs to change (hint: MORE Wesley!), AND we have the introduction of the inaugural "Wesley Jumper Awards", served up with a bit of EXTRA CONTROVERSY - ooooooooohhhhh!!! PLUS...stay until the end for our BO...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!...as they scream into the clip episode void. I mean...what can possibly be said...it isn't good. But their breakdown is so tune in and watch two vaguely adult humans collapse under the weight of so many bottles in the bottle-iest of all bottle shows.

This week, Amaya and Mat discuss Glenn Morshower...Glenn WHO? I hear you ask. Well, he's only the very lynchpin of the episode, the pivot point around which everything turns, the controlling idea at the heart of this beating story...and he has 7 lines! GENIUS! We also discuss the actual episode at one point. Which is handy...for you, I suppose. And the episode? It's a CRACKER! So tune in, and time...

On this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover TRUE LOVE, in the form of a 187cm, half-Klingon, half-Human, ex-love interest of Lieutenant Worf, absolute STUNNER (and I do mean STUN HER)...K'Ehleyr. And, honestly, no words do her justice - perhaps not even this podcast episode...but listen to it anyway...if you ever want to get remotely close to the concept of the truest and purest of loves: the l...

This week, Amaya and Mat's joy at the return of Lwaxana is quickly extinguished by the bin fire that is this episode. Still, there Lwaxana, and Lwaxana's dresses, and Lwaxana's saucy asides, and Worf gets some absolutes crackers, and Wes is here...and...and...look, it's a struggle - but, in GREAT NEWS, this one does degenerate into the Buffy/Frasier/Dexter podcast...so there's...

This week, Amaya and Mat meet a new Star Trek race, the 'Space Irish', find Riker being a total 'Space Harlot', and learn that Worf and Pulaski are becoming 'Space Buddies' - but hopefully nothing more! In one of the most wide-ranging episodes to date, they manage to alienate several cultural groups, while also having more fun in AGES! Tune in and be offended!

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover PURE JOY in the unexpected form of a Picard and Wes team-up, Worf proves again why he's the smartest member of the 'Enterprise' crew, and we say goodbye to a character that found a special place in our hearts...well, Mat's heart...well, not really his heart...

In this week's episode, Amaya gets uncomfortable with Mat's creepy declarations of love for a guest character, they both get creeped out by the Borg, but in the end, they agree that Whoopi Goldberg is something of a hottie. So, lots of objectification in this one for you, but BEST OF ALL, some controversial* takes on this beloved episode! *not really controversial.

This week, Amaya and Mat get all hepped up...because WESLEY'S BACK! It's a Wesley episode...or is it? No one seems sure whose episode this one is, but they are sure of one thing: the Prime Directive!...oh wait! Maybe they're not so sure about that. Well, there's one thing we can all agree on, and that's it's okay to rescue children in danger...while leaving their parents to die...errr...no, no! Yo...

This episode, Amaya and Mat...know kung-fu...or, specifically, Anbo-jitsu - the greatest martial art EVER...according to Riker's dad, Kyle! Kyle? Can you believe that?! So weird. Riker has this old man's name, and his dad has this young dude's name. So strange! Oh! Right, yeah, well anyway, we also learn that Worf ( and Klingons in general) might have some sadomasochistic tendencies - I know, colo...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover so many new things: Riker's love of cooking; Data's ability to be reticent, and; Picard's murderous desire to destroy the hidden part of his id...preferably with a phaser...and if possible in Shuttle Bay 2. We also learn a lot about the sick bay...like a LOT...many, many times over. But there's plenty interesting here to discuss and debate, so come jo...

This week, Amaya and Mat BREAK THE RECORDING...well, mostly Amaya...Mat was fairly innocent of any wrongdoing...Anyway, a slightly truncated episode, but we address all the important stuff, like: why do Riker, Worf, and Data always get all the fun; and what exactly *is* the story with Troi's powers. Also, remember to stay right ot the very end for a very special scientific update...only 30 years t...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat channel their inner 'Sound of Music' love into a podcast about ST: TNG and sing "How Do You Solve a Problem Like The Romulans?", while tossing up whether Data is just a deus ex machina - perhaps having usurped Wesley's role - as well as deciding is Geordi, in fact, the most developed character on the show? You''ll have to tune in and find out what we decide!

This week, Amaya and Mat learn all about first love, chocolate mousse, Klingon mating rituals, and make the shocking discovery that Wesley Crusher might in fact be...a complete moron! Noooooooo! On the bright side there's Worf getting pervy, as well as Riker and Guinan's "get a room already" flirt fest. But does it all add up to something? You'll have to tune in to find out!
