Rob & Kev planned to turn this entire episode over to a friendly computer super-intelligence, but it was down for a software update, so they recorded their thoughts on "In the Cradle of Vexilon" all by themselves. Prompted by the hard lesson learned by Boimler during his first command, they explore other lessons in leadership from Star Treks past, including "The Galileo Seven" (TOS), "Good Shepherd" (VOY), "Pen Pals" (TNG), and "Valiant" (DS9).Strange New Worlds stardatesLD 4×03 In the

Kev & Rob narrowly avoid being merged in a transporter accident, and inspired by "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee", pay a visit to the menagerie of episodes in which humanity is put in a cage, including "The Eye of the Beholder" (TAS), "The Cage" (TOS), and "I, Mudd" (TOS). They also briefly discuss the first of the Very Short Treks, "Skin a Cat", as well as Star Trek Day 2023.Star Trek Day 2023Very Short Treks: Skin a CatLD 4×01 TwovixVOY 2×24 TuvixLD 3×06 Hear All, Trust NothingVOY

Rob & Kev float through the highlights of the season two finale of Strange New Worlds, "Hegemony", before seeking out other instances of our characters floating in zero gravity, including "Star Trek: First Contact", "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", and the Enterprise NX-01's "sweet spot".SNW 2×10 HegemonyTOS 1×19 ArenaVasquez RocksRe-Uses of the Vasquez Rocks LocationMarie BatelParnassus BetaStar Trek RetrospectivesSNW 1×09 All Those Who WanderTNG 3×26 The Best of Both

Kev & Rob agree that "Subspace Rhapsody" had its charms, but didn't quite live up to the hype, and that its best moment was a scene without a song at all! Taking the cue of this musical episode, they both agree that "Bride of Chaotica!" (VOY) is the last time going over the top into silliness was the point of an episode, and they talk through its highlights in detail. Finally, as a bonus, Rob re-watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and was surprised by how much he enjoyed it!SNW

Rob & Kev need a sonic shower after the slow march through the Federation-Klingon war and its ugly consequences that was "Under the Cloak of War". Reflecting on the Federation at war, they look back at "Yesterday's Enterprise" (TNG) and "The Siege of AR-558" (DS9).SNW 2×07 Under the Cloak of WarM’Benga appearances in TOSMark PiperPhil BoyceClint Howard in DiscoveryGorkonSNW 2×01 The Broken CircleSection 31TNG 3×15 Yesterday’s EnterpriseRachel GarrettDS9 6×19 In The Pale MoonlightDS9

Kev & Rob would happily give several kilograms of heronium to get to see "Those Old Scientists" again for the first time. They talk through this crossover episode that had no business being as good as it was, before seeking out other examples of alien artifacts whose activation (or difficulty in activating) is a key point in an episode, including "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" (DIS) and "The Paradise Syndrome" (TOS).TOS 2×07 Those Old ScientistsDS9 5×06 Trials and

After a quick debrief on this week's episode, they consider two other prominent instances of communication difficulties when encountering non-humanoid life: "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", and "Home Soil" (TNG).SNW 2×06 Lost in TranslationHow Long Can Captain Kirk Stay On Strange New Worlds?Star

Rob & Kev agree to overrule all objections about the trial of Una Chin-Riley in "Ad Astra per Aspera". They then explore the legal precedents for excellent courtroom dramas in Star Trek, including "Judgment" (ENT), "Court Martial" (TOS), "Dax" (DS9), and "The Measure of a Man" (TNG). Finally, they commiserate following the shock announcement that Star Trek: Prodigy has been cancelled prior to the airing of season two on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.SNW 2×02 Ad Astra per AsperaYetide

Much like "The Last Generation", this Subspace Radio had about 40 minutes of footage cut out of it, and it's *still* a double-length episode! Rob & Kev comb through every morsel of the series finale of Star Trek: Picard, before turning back the clock to other finale episodes of series past, including "All Good Things…" (TNG), "What You Leave Behind" (DS9), "Endgame" (VOY) and "These Are the Voyages…" (ENT).PIC 3×10 The Last GenerationPlanetary distress signalPavel ChekovAnton ChekovPRO

Rob & Kev sequence the genome of "Võx", the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Picard. Then, agreeing the Changleing plot to re-sequence the DNA of every member of Starfleet was a lot to take in, they set out to trace the twin helix of DNA as a plot point in Star Trek. They discuss "Genesis" (TNG), the Jem'Hadar (DS9), "Threshold" (VOY), and "Vaulting Ambition" (DIS).PIC 3×09 VõxBattle of Wolf 359Irumodic syndromeElizabeth ShelbyWill Wheaton touring the bridge of the Enterprise DTNG

Kev & Rob find a lot to talk about in "Surrender", an episode where relatively little happened. Vadic's sudden decision to phaser a member of the bridge crew whose name we hadn't even heard before leads them to contemplate other times background characters made the ultimate sacrifice and made an impression (or didn't) in the process. From Voyager they discuss Hogan ("Basics, Part II"), Pete Durst ("Faces"), and Joe Carey ("Friendship One"). Then they bemoan the wasted opportunity of

Rob & Kev are getting some distinctly cybernetic vibes about Crusher & Picard's son Jack as they contemplate Section 31's worst plan yet in "Dominion". Vadic's commandeering of the Titan prompts them to revisit other times our Starfleet heroes lost control of their ships (and space stations) to the opposition, in "Star Trek: First Contact", "Rascals" (TNG), "Call to Arms" (DS9), and "Basics, Part I & II" (VOY).PIC 3×07 DominionTuvokChin’toka systemDS8 7×08 The Siege of

Kev & Rob both wish that the production of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 could have afforded just one more set this week as a very special Klingon Bird-of-Prey makes its return to the screen in "The Bounty". After watching a small team infiltrate Daystrom Station, they reflect on other times our intrepid crews have sneaked in where they didn't belong, including "Chain Of Command, Part I" (TNG), "By Inferno's Light" (DS9), "Change Of Heart" (DS9), and "Extreme Measures" (DS9).PIC 3×06 The

Rob & Kev come from opposite ends of the spectrum of Ro Laren familiarity, but they both loved Michelle Forbes's return to Star Trek in "Imposters". Rob introduces Kevin to some of Forbes's other roles in "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "True Blood", then Kevin talks through the highlights of Ro's appearances in Star Trek: The Next Generation, including "Ensign Ro", "Preemptive Strike", and "The Next Phase".PIC 3×05 ImpostersTOS 3×07 Is There in Truth No Beauty?IDIC pendantMornTOS

After gushing over every other aspect of this week's episode, they share their very personal perspectives and reactions to swearing in Star Trek, and reflect on its history. Highlights of the trip include "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", "City on the Edge of Forever" (TOS), "The Last Outpost" and "Elementary,

Rob & Kev agree that "Seventeen Seconds" was an episode written specifically for Rob, thanks to its loving embrace of Deep Space Nine as a core contributor to Star Trek history. Speaking of history, they take the opportunity of Worf's return to our screens to reflect on the journey of everyone's favourite son of Mogh. They touch on Redemption (TNG), Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places (DS9), Parallels (TNG), and Tacking Into the Wind (DS9).PIC 3×03 Seventeen SecondsTNG 4×20
