Star Trek The Next Conversation

Picard loses his freakin' mind over standard holodeck technology while visiting the 1930s. Matt denied he wrote last week's episode description in an obvious attempt to get his own theme song, but his efforts were pretty transparent, in my opinion. Hey, it's not my fault I'm a dynamic podcast personality who inspires musical brilliance.

Troi almost gets married and a tractor beam saves the day. Matt has an "Andy's theory" but no theme music of his own. I tried hard to write this description to save Andy the trouble, though he thinks I wrote this description just to have someone make me a theme song.

The boys are a little punchy and Riker's a little omnipotent.

"The Battle" (TNG S1, E8) Secunda's echo is cured, Mira delves into Wesley's wardrobe, and TNC chaos reigns as TNG finally displays some sense.

Secunda's brain starts to break as he realizes how many bad episodes of TNG he has to go before the, "Eh, fine" ones. Mira advances a theory about alien genitalia.

A new batch of segment theme songs as Secunda offers a terrifying theory about Wesley and Mira wonders where the sensor maintenance room is.

A new "Andy's Theories" theme is introduced, bad tech jargon is explored, and two children win a contest to visit the Enterprise (not Matt).

Mira goes sound effects crazy as Secunda asks the age old question, "Are those supposed to be Space Jews?" about the TNG episode which gave us the Ferengi.

Stardate 41235.25. Mira and Secunda kick around the bizarre racism and crazy characterizations of the third episode, while trying to answer the question, "Why is Dr. Crusher wearing an old-timey analog watch?"

Podcast Log, Stardate 41209.2. Matt and Andy discuss the merits and weirdness of the third Next Generation episode, covering such topics as Tasha's confusing seduction strategies, who plays drunk best, and the POSSIBLE pedophilic urges of Geordi LaForge.

Podcast Log, Stardate 41153.7. In this premiere episode of STAR TREK: THE NEXT CONVERSATION, Next Gen devotee Matt Mira and Next Gen skeptic Andrew Secunda discuss the pilot episode of the venerable Star Trek series and examine such topics as Data’s secret sarcasm, Troi’s inappropriate workplace telepathy, and whether Q is an omnipotent space delight or an omnipotent waste of space.
