We watched episode 2 of Picard, and… we had thoughts. I mean, obviously, we have a podcast. Come hear our thoughts, then share yours!

What does the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme film Timecop have in common with this episode? Tune in to find out it's probably absolutely nothing. Agree? Disagree? Shoot us a line at [email protected] Please consider supporting the show on Patreon. We’re a proud member of the Treksphere N...

One thing we hoped for was a Pike/Chin-Riley-centric episode that ran concurrently with the premier episode. We *sort* of got that, but not exactly. And while there was sci-fi in the episode, we don’t think it was explored. AT ALL. But what do you think? Let us know!

A courtroom science fiction episode? Do we finally care about Una? Only one way to find out. Agree? Disagree? Shoot us a line at [email protected] Please consider supporting the show on Patreon. We’re a proud member of the Treksphere Network. Head over there for more excellent Trek c...

Our plan was to get through all of Picard season 3, one episode each week. But then we remembered that Strange New Worlds season 2 was starting, and we knew we had to enjoy that sooner than later! So here is our analysis of the SNW season 2 premiere, The Broken Circle. Come give it a listen and let us know your thoughts!

We're thrust into a new season with a premiere that doesn't belong as the season premiere. What's going on here? Agree? Disagree? Shoot us a line at [email protected] Please consider supporting the show on Patreon. We’re a proud member of the Treksphere Network. Head over there for m...

And we are back! I’ll put up our latest episode later, but to get caught up, here is episode one of season 3 of a Picard. Come check it out and let us know your thoughts!

And we are back!
Hoping to have a consistent schedule once again after this holiday/paternity leave break (most likely under a new format temporarily), here is our latest episode. Still discussing Prodigy, we compare Star Trek to laser tag in Castle Grayskull. But is this episode even proper Star Trek? Check out our latest analysis and let us know what you think!

We won't be the first to say this episode's plot is the same as Galaxy Quest in the same way Pixar's Cars plot is the same as Doc Hollywood... but we won't be the last either. Also, apologies for the extended hiatus. Paul had a kid and Jonathan has kids so it was a busy holiday season to say the lea...

We have a shocking theory about Captain Freeman as we analyze the season 3 finale of Lower Decks. (No joke and no bait, it’s right before the 20 minute mark when we start discussing it)
And through all the threads being wrapped up, did they still manage to make it proper Star Trek? Check it out and then let us know your thoughts!

We break down how firing phasers works while at warp and also reminisce about pagers. Also Justice Alito. Agree? Disagree? Shoot us a line at [email protected] Please consider supporting the show on Patreon. We’re a proud member of the Treksphere Network. Head over there for more exc...
