The streak is broken!  This next episode, while not perfect, is definitely a fair to good episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  Newbies to the series, if you’ve been waiting for one of the good ones to come along, watch this episode and prepare for our discussion on Tuesday. Die-hards, we’ll discuss what sets […]

The Last Outpost is the third strike in a row for TNG – Dean, Paul, and Jason discuss why this episode is really trying to make the Ferengi an interesting foe for the new Enterprise, and why it just doesn’t pan out. Also, if you’re ever tested by an ancient guardian of a deserted alient […]

On the next episode, Paul and Jason are joined by Dean, and talk about the introduction to the Ferengi, a species of alien we’ve never seen before (at this point in the Trek timeline).  “The Last Outpost” was clearly meant to establish many things, one of them the Ferengi as a new and dangerous adversary. […]

Oslec joins Paul and Jason this week, as we discuss Code of Honor – in a podcast that is less of a review and more of post-mortem analysis. This episode isn’t just bad, it’s clearly dead on arrival. But the speculation into how it got that way proves to be a fascinating discussion. ALSO – […]

Bad news – this episode is worse than the last one, and the pilot.  Good news, this might be rock bottom – from which there’s nowhere to go but up.  We’re going there – we’re going to discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation’s third episode – “Code of Honor”. We’d tell you to buckle-up, but […]

Paul and Jason are joined by Jeremiah, and they discuss what is perhaps the most awkward second outing of any television show of the modern era.  Also, Data and Yar totally do it. This episode isn’t good – but it’s a lot of fun to talk about.

So a couple of things right off the bat. First – our regular posting schedule looks to be as follows: Tuesdays: Fresh Episodes Thursdays: Episode Previews Our thinking here is that previews come out on Thursday, you’ll have the weekend to catch the episode, then be up-to-speed when our new episode drops on Tuesday. Second […]

Paul and Jason talk all things Q, Farpoint Station, and giant jellyfish in their discussion of the TNG pilot episode.  The introductory episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation is weird… but shows some of the promise that will eventually make ST:TNG a great show.

Hi, I’m Jason, and I’m a trekkie.  Trekker.  Trek Fan.  However you say it.  I’ve always wanted to put something out there on the web that shares my love of Trek, and invites others to re-live their favorite Trek memories, or maybe discover the Star Trek for the first time. So – my friend Paul […]
