VOY S5E06 - Timeless

2017/10/14

We continue our review of Voyager Season 5 with the series' 100th episode, and it's a doozy. The episode opens to find Voyager buried under a sheet of ice and a much older Chakotay and Harry Kim executed a daring plan to save it. Production note: Much like the TV series, sometimes things get produced and aired in different orders, so at the end of this we are flogging our then still pending review of Discovery's Context is for Kings, which obviously has been up for a couple of weeks by now. We're

An attack on a vital mining operation forces up the Discovery's timeline for getting its engines working. Burnham is tasked with learning what she can from the ships newest acquisition that can help their war effort. Today's triva: This, shockingly, is NOT the longest title in the history of the show. That honor goes to TOS' For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky.

2017/10/03

On her way to a prison colony, Burnham's shuttle is damaged and rescued by the USS Discovery. Her captain quickly conscripts Burnham to assist in a mysterious experiment. She is now surrounded by a crew that doesn't trust her, and working for a captain she doesn't entirely trust. What is the Discovery really working on, and more importantly, why is this show set 10 years before TOS and not 100 after VOY???

Welcome to the premiere review podcast for the first new Trek series in over a decade. Despite years of vague foreboding, we both felt there was a lot to like here and have mustered just enough cautious optimism to keep going! We're joined this week by fellow Trekkie and Klingon language expert, John Harness (@cartweel on Twitter).

VOY S5E04 - In the Flesh

2017/09/20

Despite our joy (and apprehension) at the forthcoming Star Trek Discovery, we're going to keep working through the remaining VOY and ENT episodes that we have yet to review. This week, Voyager discovers an eerily accurate simulation of Earth and Starfleet Headquarters, right down to the gardener. Who built it, and why?

DS9 S7E25 - What You Leave Behind

2017/06/21

So, here we are. Seven years facing off against Bajoran separatists, possibly divine wormhole aliens, Cardassian, Klingons, the Dominion, and whatever scheme Quark is up to this week. How will our crew fare? Will the Federation win the war? Will they stop Dukat and Kai Winn from unleashing hell itself? What will it cost them, even if they do?

DS9 S7E20 - The Changing Face of Evil

2017/03/17

The Breen have attacked Earth. Damar has staged a rebellion. Dukat and Winn take a bloody step forward in their plan to release the pahwraiths. Ounce for ounce, this is one of the most exciting episodes of DS9 ever!

DS9 S7E17- Penumbra

Treknobabble ·

2017/02/11

As DS9 enters the homestretch, it embarks on an amitious, and heretofore largely forbidden plot device: the serialized story. The Dominion War is drawing to a climax, and all the cast of DS9 both friend and foe will forced to make hard choices about its outcome. Is it chaotic and occasionally uneven? Sure. Would we trade it for anything? Nope.

So, is being the called the least awful of the Abrams movies a compliment? Probably not, but it's the best this 1984b of the franchise is going to get from us. The actors are really trying, and there is some tentative attempts to explore the themes that TOS and its movies did, but it still pretty much devolves into an excuse to get Chris Pine on a motorcycle.

DS9 S7E06 - Treachery, Faith, and the Great River

Treknobabble ·

2016/11/29

We learn a lot in this episode. We learn that the Federation's multicultural values are not just talk as we see Nog excel not just as a Starfleet officer, but as a wheeling and dealing Ferengi. We learn that the Dominion is not the unified front that it tries to present. And if the title is anything to go by, we learn that the Oxford command does not survive to the 24th century.

DS9 S7E01- Image in the Sand

2016/10/19

We return to DS9 for its final season. When we last left the show, everyone and everything was in chaos. After Jadzia's (useless) death, Sisko has taken a leave of absence and the Prophets seem to have abandoned Bajor. We open the season to find Sisko trying to make sense of his losses in his father's restaurant. Meanwhile, Kira has been left in charge of the station, and her first challenge will be to navigate Romulan intrigue and Worf must find a way to honor the wife he lost.

VOY S4E26 - Hope and Fear

Voyager gets some assistance from a new friend in decrypting Starfleet's message. The results appear to be a way home. Is it too good to be true? (Spoiler Alert: Yes, yes it is. Always)

VOY S4E23 - Living Witness

Treknobabble ·

2016/08/24

The Doctor awakens to find himself centuries in the future and the only person left who can clear Voyager's name, as history has judged Janeway a genocidal monster and the crew her violent lackeys. The Doctor quickly learns, however, that setting the record straight will not be easy, not will it come without consequences.

VOY S4E19 - The Killing Game, Part 2

An explosion has ripped through the holodeck and taken out several decks of the ship. But in the good news department, Janeway is Janeway again and that's always going to stack the odds in your favor. Get on your best black turtleneck and let's go take out some Nazis!

2016/07/07

The crew has been captured by the Hirogen and is being forced to fight and die over and over again in holodeck simulations to give the Hirogen insight into Alpha Quadrant species history and capability. Neelix is a Klingon. B'Elanna is very pregant. And Janeway is serving you Marlene Dietrich realness in a tuxedo ensemble that alone justifies this whole episode.

VOY S4E14 - Message in a Bottle

2016/05/28

Voyager finds a network of apparently abandoned satellites that will allow them to communicate with Earth in real time. The catch (and of course there is one) is that the only transmission that would survive the trip is the Doctor's program. The Doctor is sent hurtling across the galaxy and finds himself on the USS Prometheus --- just after it has been hijacked by Romulans. (See what I mean with the catches?) His only ally is this ship's EMH, a cocky Mark II. Can the stalwart holograms save the

VOY S4E09 - Year of Hell, Part II

Voyager is not in the best of shape. Down a nacelle and most of her crew, Janeway leads a skeleton crew trying to hold the ship together with spit and prayer, and the strain, particularly on Janeway, is beginning to show. Chakotay and Paris are still being held by Annorax and his obsession with correcting the timeline.
