Other Jason joins us next week to talk about S1:E24: Conspiracy. Burns hates it, Jason loves it, and while I like it, I have to side with Burns on the grounds that it isn’t a critical episode to Star Trek in really any way. It is fun, though, and if you’re not bothered by some 80s […]

Well, here’s that episode where Picard goes to fake Paris. Also, there’s a temporal anomaly? It’s kind of forgettable, but hopefully our discussion is just slightly less forgettable.

Dean joins us next week to talk about that episode where Picard goes to Paris. We all agree that while it’s not a bad episode it’s not really a good one either, and in fact very little goes wrong with the script because so little was attempted. If you’re looking for a sort of non-exciting […]

Well, we are finally to that episode. I’m still not going to spoil it, but the podcast certainly does. So, if you still have no idea what goes on in this episode maybe watch it before listening? Otherwise, join us, and (other) Ed, in full spoiler territory for S1:E22: Skin of Evil.

If you’ve gotten to this point without having this episode spoiled for you, just watch it now, quickly. You should watch it anyway, even if you think you remember it, because it turns out to be less of a one-trick pony episode than you’d think. You also get to see Riker get pulled into the worst […]

This episode might not really be about Pokemon, but is instead about drugs, addiction, exploitation, and the general resistance of cultures to change what they know. It’s just a little more difficult to fit that all into a picture, and Riker does get paralyzed by an electric type move.

Jeremiah joins us this week to talk about S1E21: Symbiosis, the episode where they go to Pokemon Planet and it turns out everyone is electric type. The crew of the Enterprise doesn’t have any ground type Pokemon, so it turns into a pretty long talking episode. While each of us had some parts we really […]

This week Patrick joins us on the show to talk about S1E20: The Arsenal of Freedom. Hint: if you get trapped on a weird planet where strange automated weapons are attacking you and a salesman says it’s all a demo of the product and would you like to buy some, just say you’ll buy some.

Next week we talk about The Arsenal of Freedom with special guest Patrick. We watched it, but you don’t have to.

Oslec joins us on the show this week to talk about an episode all about Worf and Klingons. It’s full of all the Klingon backstory we have yet to see in this series, and it’s a great start to understanding how the cultures of the galaxy fit together in TNG.

Next week on the show we’ll be talking about a pretty decent episode, S1E19: Heart of Glory. Oslec is back with us and we have a pretty fun talking about everything Klingon. Watch it, then join us! Join us. JOIN US.

  This week, join us as we watch and discuss S1E18: Coming of Age, with special guest and resident space expert, Andrew. Wes goes to space school, some weird foreshadowing happens on the Enterprise, and at least half of the episode is at all memorable.

Next week on the podcast Andrew joins us to talk about that episode where Wes goes to space camp. It’s a pretty decent episode in a lot of ways, and we have a lot of fun with it. Watch it, then join us next week for S1E18: Coming of Age.

This week on the podcast Jacob joins us to talk about the episode Home Soil. There are some interesting ideas in this one, even if their execution is sometimes a little rough. Also, Data dodges lasers.

In TNG, the ‘L’ in laser still stands for ‘light’ right? Well, Data moves faster than that. Jacob rejoins us this week to talk about S1E17: Home Soil, an episode where some terraformers change their story pretty frequently. While it’s not an amazing episode it’s not really a bad one either – join us next […]

Aaron joins us as a guest this week to talk about ‘When the Bough Breaks’ – a pretty weird and skippable episode. We have some fun with it.

    Next time on HFSF, we talk about that episode where a weird invisible planet steals a bunch of kids. You probably don’t remember it. It’s not very good.

Jeremiah joins Paul and Jason for their most divided conversation yet. Old admirals who are young again, ancient scores to settle, and little to no action on screen – it all awaits you as we discuss “Too Short A Season” on this week’s show.

Here’s a sneak peek at next week’s episode – “Too Short A Season”.  That episode posts on Tuesday!
