V'Ger Please!

Your hosts continue to explore the depths of every moment of this suddenly high quality television program as we start our review of "Cold Station 12"! Between the high stakes drama and careful plotting there is very little to criticize, but it does beg one clear question - could have the early 2000's handled Bisexual Phlox?

Things get a lot worse as we wrap up the NX-01's prior season Quest Log as we review "Storm Front, Part 2"! The writers can't get of the Temporal Cold War fast enough as we straight speed run to the finish, spawn camp some Germans, and get back to the plot we actually want to see.

We reach the awesome, if inevitable, conclusion as the last TNG character returns for the thrilling Picard S3 finale! We review Episodes 9 -10, Peter has a single tear form in his eye as the Big Bad Galaxy Class Lad returns, and the crew has a final adventure that uses all the memberberries...and we like it!

Our nostalgic, high-quality final journey with the TNG crew continues as we review Picard S3 Episodes 5-8! It's time to put the band back together while the Titan is on the run, we thankfully start getting a lot less of Michelle Hurd, and we should all be so lucky to get those sweet Old Age Jackets to slim us on camera.

The Terminus Systems Arc begins it's climax as the NX-01 rolls in for "The Council". As Archer puts on his best Diplomacy Face, he tries to convince the the Xindi that maybe religiously motivated genocide is bad. Meanwhile, T'Pol leads a MACO to the most redshirt-y death of all time and Degra makes the mistake of resolving his backstory.

When NX-01 tries to take the shortcut on the space county road, they run into themselves in " E Squared"! Space Elf General Brewster and friends thinks it is gonna be one way...but will it be the other?

You know we had to do it. Despite our better instincts we actually did watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds insane musical episode. Please watch as Joseph tries to defend musical theater while Peter explains the trauma this whole event put him through. #trek #startrek #strangenewworlds

Enterprise moves into full 'war is hell' mode as we review "The Forgotten". The crew of the NX-01 digs deep on the heavy questions - death, grief, perseverance - as Trip finds himself in choking distance of Space Oppenheimer. Also, will Reed finally achieve his fondest wish of dying on the ship's hull?

Your hosts continue to revel in the sudden hard upshift in quality of this roller coaster they call Enterprise as we review "Damage". After the NX-01 gets half its hull plates blown off, the crew survives...but Archer is meeting Sea World People, the crew goes full pirate, and T'Pol has the most unfortunate addiction ever.

As they catch up on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, your hosts chat about what they have seen so far. Peter theorizes if the creators can truly make good, consistent Trek at all, while Joseph salivates at the prospect of reviewing the musical episode. #trek #trekkers #strangenewworlds #startrek #review #commentary

Strap yourselves in, as a whole new show starts as we arrive at "Azati Prime"! This one truly has everything - Time Zucc, relationship drama, murders, Trek lady weak zone exploitation, and all the traumatic brain injury you can handle (also lots of compelling drama and action good grief this was good)!

Before we arrive at Azati Prime we have one little side-trip into a world where Jeffrey Combs is all you need. That's right, we reviewed the classic horror (?) comedy(!) film "Re-Animator" for our Patrons earlier this year, now available to all! Observe as roles are reversed and Peter gushes endless detail while Joseph is bewildered by everything happening around him.

Who would have thought that two guys who love a show about humans meeting new life and new civilizations would be really into IRL alien related news?!?!? That said, a lot has happened over the past couple months. Is the truth really out there? #nasa #aliens #congress #whistleblower #firstcontact

A combination of motherly instinct and strong workplace violence comes together as we review "Hatchery"! When the NX-01 happens by a crashed Insectoid ship, Archer gets more than some sweet loot, Major Hayes gets a Space Horror MVP award, and we finally get a mutiny!

As the walls close in at Disney, we review the latest news out of CEO Bob Iger's call with investors as well as the FAR JUICIER gossip about Kathleen Kennedy's irresponsible spending at Lucasfilm. Joseph shares his own stories about witnessing financial dishonesty, and we ask the question - might Kennedy get fired for cause? #disney #disneyplus #bobiger #kathleenkennedy #lucasfilm #fired #finance #trek #startrek

It's deja-vu all over again as we review "Doctor's Orders"! For some reason, the writers decided to rip off of Voyager's "One" beat for beat ...but hey, at least it's a well done rip off. John Billingsley does all the acting, we find out Trip is a Void Engineer, and Porthos remains a Very Good Boy.

This week, your hosts break down the news of Parmaount's money woes, mounting content deletions by both Paramount and Disney, and why such manuvers suggest a major cash crunush at both companies as they enter a new fiscal quarter. Come for the gossip, stay for the discussion on SEC filings and tax liability! #paramountplus #disneyplus #startrek #streaming #10k #sec

Several running plots reach a...uh...culmination as we review "Harbringer". When Trip decides to give Vulcan Touching to the ship's standard issue Hot Israeli, T'Pol decides to steal her man back and it all plays better than you think. Also a bad melting chocolate space man appears!

The crew of the NX-01 bust out all their drama kid skills as we review "Stratagem"! After capturing a very stupid Degra and friends, Archer goes full LARP Goblin with a side of memory chloroform to get some answers.

Some breaking news hits just before we ususaly record episodes, so Peter and Joseph discuss the fate of Prodigy, the incoming failure of streaming, and if the writer's stroke can inavertinly be Trek's salvation from Hack Kurtzman. #startrek #trek #prodigy #startrekprodigy

The NX-01 gets a heaping helping of everyone's favorite Andorian as we review "Proving Ground"! While it's no mystery that any episode with Jeffrey Combs and his acting cheat codes is a banger, this one reaches new heights as Shran is all too helpful and creates an Archer Head Wound Inversion.

Because going to Planet Trigun just wasn't enough, we get our second 'period episode' in three weeks as we endure "Carpenter Street"! Time Zucc rolls in just in time to give Archer and T'Pol a fetch quest, our heroes do a quick L&O: SVU costume change, and it's time to hit the drive-thru!

High drama, subtle production design, and excellent performances are on the table as we review a truly great entry of the Trek canon in "Similitude". When a Starfleet IED knocks Trip into a coma, Phlox does some off the books dirt, Archer stops shaving, and T'Pol winds up in a triangle with two versions of the same guy.

It's time to grab yer six shooter and grab the best western wear in the studio, because it's Cowboy Episode time as we review "North Star". After finding Old West Planet for no reason, this rootin' tootin yarn ain't bad, but it also needed to be in Season 2 where it belonged.

When the NX-01 finally gets a lead from discount Phantom of the Opera, they get the moral choice prompt as we review "The Shipment". Will Archer press L and Space Pipe all the Xindi sloths, or press R and give them hugs?
