This week, Nick joins us to discuss S2E18: Up the long ladder. Most of the episode makes about as much sense as transporting hay, but as Burns says “make hay while the sun shines.”

This episode is broken.  It will not go.  Paul, Jason, and Aaron look for things.  Things to make this episode go.  It is not smart.

Here’s the preview for next week’s show.  There’s something the preview isn’t telling you about the aliens in this episode.  Be prepared.

Q’s back – even though he said he wouldn’t be.  And this is the FIRST time he claims he wants to join the crew (he’ll use that old trick again).  But Q’s not just here to mess with the crew… he has an introduction to make.  Jacob Rosdail from the “Filmcast Without A Cause” joins […]

Paul and Jason preview the introduction of the Federation’s most dangerous foe.

The prime directive means that sometimes you let kids die, unless you can hear them beg for help on the radio.  Also, after you help the kid (and her whole planet) you have to make it right with ethically questionable surgery.  The Federation is messed up, man. Paul and Jason talk over the episode TNG […]

The Worf stuff in this episode is really good – it should be the main focus.  It’s not.  BUT – we manage to have fun with an episode that doesn’t really know what to do with Riker and his Dad, but manages to expand the character of Worf considerably with only 10 minutes of screentime. […]

Watch the Icarus Factor – because “anbo jyutsu” is American Gladiators in space.  We’ll discuss this episode next week!

This week Patrick joins us to talk about S2E13: The one where Picard needs more time. Basically, the crew plays Where’s Waldo with Q, but surprise: Q isn’t there! Picard gets a time transplant, Riker hosts a dinner party, and everything works out in the end.

So there’s this hotel, but it’s not real.  But it kind of is.  It’s on a planet, but this planet is colder than absolute zero.  Also, there’s a love story happening and all of the characters are based off of cheesy novel characters I guess?  Oh, and there’s this guy named Tex and he’s the […]

The Enterprise meets the Yamato, and encounters the Protoss (Iconians) – StarCraft crossover CONFIRMED.  Also, the ship gets a computer virus and Wes is the only person sad when over 1,000 people are killed.

Our episode on Contagion drops next week – here’s a sneak peek.  Also – don’t forget to email your comments and questions to: jason@hifiscifipodcast.com paul@hifiscifipodcast.com

Jason’s wife Hiliary joins the show to talk about a Wesley episode.  Wesley gets bad advice, Riker is creepier than ever, and Wesley’s love interest is an Animorph.

Our next episode is an absolute bonkers “adventure” – here’s the preview.  Teenage love, shapeshifters, and absolutely dreadful costumes make this another weird Season 1/2 show… so this show is not newbie friendly, but it is entertaining. We also hear from you!  Keep up the great tweets, facebook posts, or even email us: jason@hifiscifipodcast.com paul@hifiscifipodcast.com […]

Ed Hahn joins us for a discussion of a really good episode of TNG.  Is it great, or the greatest?  This question sparks a lively-er debate than you might expect…

Finally, a season 2 episode where all of us have nice things to say about it! Join us, and special guest Nick Baker, as we talk about S2E8: Riker and the Klingons.
