2026/09/22

Ask a Trek Expert with Marc Scott Zicree! "First Contact" is considered one of the best episodes of TNG ever made, and "Far Beyond the Stars" is considered one of the best episodes of DS9 ever made, perhaps all of Star Trek. And Marc Scott Zicree wrote the story for BOTH of them! He's also had a very long writing career before and after that, including working on many beloved animated shows like He-Man, The Real Ghostbusters, Super Friends, as well as live-action sci-fi shows like Babylon 5,

2026/09/01

2026/08/18

All Good Things... must come to an end. Well, not the podcast, in fact we'll eventually be going through three shows at once: continuing DS9, starting Voyager, and livestreaming our discussions of TOS! But for now, our journey with TNG has come to an end. And what better way to end this crazy ride with a timey-wimey episode that jumps back and forth so wildly that that it would make Kurt Vonnegut blush! We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Crossover! The episode that activated a legion of Star Trek fans. What's better than one Kira? Well, two Kiras, of course!

2026/06/30

Emergence! Well, pretty much everyone on the Enterprise-D has had some sort of parent-related storyline this season. So why not have the Enterprise-D itself also finally have parent issues? That's right, the Enterprise-D is pregnant! And the holodeck is involved somehow. Discuss. We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Newbie Star Trek ·

2026/06/23

The Wire! A really bad headache leads to Garak finally opening up to Bashir about his past. Except he really doesn't since pretty much every single thing he says is a lie. So it's basically a bunch of lies with a bunch of accidental slips of truth, and by the end even Bashir's a little sick and tired of it. But what do we think?! Tune in to find out!

Bloodlines! So now that Picard's de facto son Wesley has left the show for good, he gets a new fake son, the main guy from Robocop rip-off Super Force.

Newbie Star Trek ·

2026/06/09

The Maquis, Part II! So, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, the actual best part of this episode is Sisko giving his famous "saint in paradise" speech, but other than that, uuuh... let's just say that the main antagonist got so annoying that even Michael Piller was like, "yeah, we should've killed him off."

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part I - Season 2, Episode 20

Newbie Star Trek ·

2026/05/26

The Maquis, Part I! TNG creates the problem, and DS9 has to fix it. That's right, the Cardassian border dispute that Captain Picard thought they had resolved in Journey's End turns into a bigger problems for the actual colonists in DS9. Surely Sikso's old friend that shows up in this episode won't end up being secretly part of the Federation resistance movement named after the French Resistance during Nazi occupation in WWII, right? Right?! We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you

2026/05/19

Journey's End! Y'know, the idea of Wesley quitting Starfleet because he wants to pursue his own path in life is actually kind of a neat idea for a TNG episode. It's just too bad that it's wrapped up with weird American Indian cultural appropriation and, uh, an overall kinda bad script. We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!
