Will Dave be able to get through Amara's inane questioning about his favorite series? Will Amara make it through Season One, or will Wesley Crusher crush her soul? Stay tuned!

We begin with a follow up to last week's episode with more research into why Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) left. Because I am not buying the party line here, and find out the departure of this nepo-baby was not quite as the PR made it out to be. Things were not adding up last week and I get some much needed closure. Thank you to Den of Geek for providi…

You guys, TASHA YAR DIES IN THIS ONE. Like game over, no resurrection, straight up dead. I was not prepared for this, I knew the character was being taken out of the series but I assumed her character was getting transferred to like the more competent ship that Starfleet doesn't have a camera crew on! NOT COOL, TNG. Oh, and making her death even wo…

Ok guys, you're in for a treat, Dave did this week's episode description as he doesn't remember this one that well: This week the Prime Directive is suddenly a thing again as the Enterprise sets out to study a super cool star with a weirdly changing magnetic whatevers. The ship gets all friggin' bluey on them because no one thought powerful magneti…

So yet again, a Starfleet ship has gone missing. I mean at this point can they like budget in some Airtags or SOMETHING because this is really starting to look bad on Starfleet. How do you keep "losing ships?" Moreover, how do you keep losing all of the hundreds of people that were on the missing ship and are so blasé about it? I am embarrassed for…

Sorry for the hiatus last week, y'all. Family stuff came up! Anyhow, we're back, and I am as confused as ever because don't these people live and work together like 24/7, pretty much 365 days a year? If so, they really need to work on their interpersonal communication because damn do they not know each other well. Like do some trust falls, or a Rop…

This episode debuts Wesley's new haircut, which looks terrible. I guess the ship barber doesn't care for his nepo status. Sick burn, barber, totally support your decision making. Speaking of blowing Wesley out of the airlock, it's his time to shine as he's going to take this insanely inconsistent and irritating entrance exam to Starfleet. Good luck…

Well if y'all have watched that documentary on Biosphere 2, you know how this episode ends. If you haven't, here's what you should know. Sealing 4 people up in a terraforming base that could be on that "Tiny House" show is a bad idea, especially when one of the actors moonlights as...a Bond KGB antagonist! Just to be clear though he's not in the KG…

Well we got a doozy this week. This is a pretty middle of the road episode, gotta say. Long story short, a childless planet kidnaps a few kids off of the Enterprise, including Wesley (they have kidnapper's remorse like immediately) but I guess it's bad manners to return kidnapped kids so they're just stuck with him? No one seems to understand radia…

So we have this dude in super terrible prosthetics who is like in his mid 20s pretending to be 100 and it takes you out of the episode right away. I mean, these are really embarrassing prosthetics. I'm guessing the make up dude responsible for them was just dumped by his significant other and was just phoning it in that week. It's bad. And they for…

Well well well, this is exactly why Starfleet needs to update their IT staff and not make them as disposable as Singh, because then episodes like this wouldn't happen. The Enterprise stops by a space base for some R & R and software updates to make the holodeck a little bit less murdery only for it to go awry when the software starts acting crazy! …

Hi guys, so Dave is sick with a stomach flu and yet again we've been foiled by our own weak human blob bodies. We wanted to do something to celebrate hitting 3,750 downloads, so we are giving away three custom mugs (including shipping) to the first three people who get the questions asked in this segment correct! You have to be speedy and accurate!…

If you really like left nipples, this is episode is for you! The team visits a matriarchal planet where the women make their men wear navel necks that expose their left nipples. And very tight pants, probs with padding. Because male writers in the 80's totally know what women want to see, so chill ladies, this is for your benefit. But don't worry e…

Honestly though, what are they teaching at Starfleet Academy? Because it's definitely not good leadership. Or empathy. Picard needs to memorize some Hallmark apology cards or something. The crew (not Data) decide to invite themselves to Data's home planet where they poke around his past and bring up a homicidal Data doppelgänger that maybe was left…
  continue reading
 
Despite depriving his entire crew of some much need free massages and relaxation after the whole "Troi's betrothed jumping ship to chill with ebola Farrah Fawcett," Picard decides he's just too stressed to do his work and instead goes on a selfish adventure in the 1940s on the Holodeck, which apparently is like the Matrix in this episode because if…
  continue reading
 
Troi's in for a surprise this episode when a disembodied head spewing rubies announces she's about to tie the knot! But things do "knot" go to plan! Which is good, because Troi's betrothed is obsessed with Farrah Fawcett. Riker gets pouty as he ponders the loss of his potential friend with benefits, everyone gets psyched for a visit to a spa planet…
  continue reading
 
Finally! They give the people (meaning me and apparently a ton of fan fic writers) what we want! Q reappears and sets his sights on hunky hard to get Riker, they have a playful back and forth and Dave cannot convince me this isn't just a massive set up in the form of a "humanity test" just so Q and Riker can have a lovely date together. Also, Starf…

You guys. My (Amara’s) favorite burrito place closed down permanently and we found out an hour before recording this episode, so I’m like at an eleven the entire time, sorry in advance. Picard is dodgy as heck in my book, and Dave and I recorded over two hours of heated debate about Picard and Ferengi relations which is why this episode is a bit ju…

Hold on to your space britches, the crew finds a super sex positive planet and are about to have a wild party when Wesley wesleys and we end up with a political situation, and is a giant beaver dam/c***block. Dr. Crusher pretends to understand mechanical engineering, Riker leers, the poor male aliens in this episode have some major discomfort in th…

So we finally get a South Asian member of the cast and I am totally psyched, but it's short lived. RIP Singh, we hardly knew ye. Palpatine makes a surprise guest appearance, we find out Space Apple Pencils may electrocute you, and the Enterprise gets the White Lotus treatment. Also there is some heavy pro vegan messaging from Riker and Yar in this …

Oh the depths of the writers' room to which they must have descended to write a more irritating character than Wes, in an attempt to make Wes more likeable. Introducing: Space Elon! He works his assistant basically to near death, doesn't actually know what he's talking about, and basically wrecks everything, tearing the social fabric of the Enterpr…

YIKES. We recorded an entire episode for "Code of Honor," the episode between "The Naked Now" and "The Last Outpost." We aren't going to say this TNG episode didn't age well, because it should not have been made in the first place! To be honest, it was tough finding the humor in such a crappy episode - that's not just us saying it, Riker's actor ha…
  continue reading
 
So Dave disagrees, but I am team Ferengi all the way. Listen to the episode and find out why - the Enterprise basically provokes like 90% of the drama. Oh - Zordon makes a surprise cameo from The Power Rangers, and people are just being rude to Data for absolutely no reason! Also Picard gets a little too flag happy. Oh and "Doctor" Crusher doesn't …
  continue reading
 
Today we listen to the weirdest episode of Season One, where people are infected with "Polywater" which is some kind of aphrodisiac or confidence booster, like oysters mixed with cocaine? Dave doesn't know, Amara is just along for the ride. We learn what a "wild party" is by Starfleet standards, and spoiler, it's pretty lame and boring. Amara begin…

Join us for the thrilling conclusion of something* something at Farpoint! In which we see a grumpy Levar Burton (probably because his glasses won't let him read books), Riker does not show appropriate deference to Levar which makes me mad as the Reading Rainbow was an important part of my developmental years, Space Hamlet (Q)'s costume budget runs …
  continue reading
 
In our inaugural episode, we take a journey to Farpoint Station, meet Space Hamlet, Riker's* immaculate hair, Wesley's stupid sweater, Troi's feelings, potential psycho droid Data, colorblind Dr. Crusher, and a really chill guy named Groppler who is toootally not sinister AT ALL, in fact he could make his mark as a weatherman since his name rhymes …
