Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/11/11

"Bow" like "bow," not "bow." Anyway, this is the first episode of our new arc: KLINGON HISTORY! And for sake of fun, we're following in-universe chronology with this arc, so it's Enterprise first. Trip and Archer get VERY passive aggressive with T'Pol, and we try to figure out how Enterprise spends its horny buxxx.

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/11/04

Happy 50th episode, everyone. We've got something slimy and uncomfortable for you: the one where Tom Paris & Captain Janeway turn into lizards from going too fast and they *do it.* Also, look out for PEPPERONI, and Tuvok goes fly fishing.

Trek By The Numbers ·

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/10/14

Can I tempt you with a cucumber sandwich? No? In this episode, we wrap up on out Moonraker discussion, which is the best-worst Bond film with also the thriftiest expository dialogue. But... can I tempt you with a cucumber sandwich?

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/09/30

Data's head done popped off. Mark Twain pulls a gun on Captain Picard after spending some time alone with a young Jack London. Snake sock puppets. And maybe a weird reference to a cult? Anyway, here's the conclusion of Time Travel! Catch us next week for our episode 47 special: Moonraker.

TBTN 45: Time Travel! "Time's Arrow Part 1" TNG

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/09/30

Oh boy oh boy are we going to wrap up our Time Travel arc. TNG. Data. The past. Guinan. Mark Twain. "BIG MONEY" MARC ALAIMO. What more could you ask for? I mean, honestly! It's so good to be back after being away.

TBTN 44: Time Travel! "Far Beyond the Stars" DS9

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/08/05

Top tier Star Trek in this episode. Truly. Is he Captain Benjamin Sisko, or Benny Russell, a struggling black science fiction writer living on Earth in the 1950s? Heavy, thoughtful stuff that brings an insightful conversation to broadcast TV. Next week we'll be back to the goof-a-minute stuff with "Time's Arrow" from TNG. You know, the one with Mark Twain.

TBTN Talks: Picard and DISC Season 2

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/07/31

In this episode we alienate our two biggest fanbases: fans of the Canadian pop punk band Sum 41 and the Wahlberg brothers. You know, the hamburger guys? And we sorta talk about the Picard trailer, what it's for and what we can learn from a single trailer. And we talk about Bob's favorite TNG episode "A Few Good Things."

TBTN 43: Time Travel! "Storm Front" (p2) ENT

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/07/22

Have you ever been bitten by your pet targ while out on the hunt? Then be sure to get some of Gowron's famous beef juice bandages! We finish up Storm Front, which is Enterprise finishing up the whole temporal cold war thing by literally shrugging and saying "chicken and egg?" It's ... great?

TBTN 42: Time Travel! "Storm Front" (p1) ENT

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/07/15

Thrill as Manny Coto (of "24" fame) desperately tries to save the ailing series by utterly jettisoning the Temporal Cold War non-story. And he does it by riffing on TOS' "Patterns of Force" (aka the Nazi episode), which is a wild choice but ok. There's not-quite-Reman bat people that are trying to do... something vague that involves helping the Germans win WW2 with space guns.

01:18:05

TBTN 41: Time Travel! "Tomorrow is Yesterday" TOS

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/07/08

Welcome to our new arc: TIME TRAVEL! I mean, you get it, right? I don't have to explain it. Ok? Good. Anyway, the Enterprise is thrown back in time by a black hole or something and then they abduct a guy and it's all very silly, but then they send him home. Or actually they probably scatter his atoms on the sun but it doesn't matter because it will all have never happened.

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/07/01

Happy 4th of July week, people. To celebrate independence and freedom, we watched... Nemesis for some reason? It's Tom Hardy's first big role! Jesse's back and it's a great time talking about Nemesis and analyzing it. What an awful, awful movie! (CW: the movie depicts rape in a scene, and we briefly discuss it & how the movie depicts it)

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/06/24

This is a big one. We've got everyone here to send us off for the end of SPACE LAW!. The Drumhead is so damned good that just couldn't stop talking about it. So we're splitting it into two episodes to avoid killing your data plan.

TBTN 37: SPACE LAW! p4 - "Author, Author" VOY

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/06/10

SPACE LAW! continues with a weird one. Need some tips for proper ponytail care? The Doctor wrote a holonovel, but the publisher claims he has to rights since The Doctor is a hologram. Bob drops knowledge on all sorts of law, and Josh admits he's not much of a pugilist. And hey, you may not like it but Robert Picardo has the ideal body for dilithium mining. Catch us next week for a special guest episode where we watch "Spock's Brain" (TOS)

en

TBTN 36: SPACE LAW! p3 "Rules of Engagement" DS9

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/06/03

More SPACE LAW! Bob plugs a bartending school and Josh calls upon his knowledge of cheesy hair metal, and they both explore Ferengi multi-level marketing. Gowron and Worf having a major falling out over a boy. (Klingon courtship practices are complicated!) Bur at the heart of it all, this is a hearing about extradition. Worf did a bad, or DID HE? Catch us next time for "Author, Author" from Voyager (S7e20).

en

51:24

TBTN 35: SPACE LAW! p2 - "The First Duty" (TNG)

Trek By The Numbers ·

2019/05/27
