Episode 378: Just Accept It 1:25:12

1d ago1:25:12

1:25:12

Oh man we are SO back! By which I mean back to the Mirror Universe, simultaneously this show's least favorite and favorite place to visit depending on which host you're listening to! In "Despite Yourself" the Discovery crew needs desperately to blend in to figure out if there's a way for them to get out of this land of impossible doppelgangers and …

Episode 377: Klig Ol' Bitties 1:09:02

8d ago1:09:02

1:09:02

Content warning: episode contains depiction of SA and we discuss briefly.After last week's disappointing entry, we're on to something much more interesting with "Into the Forest I Go". It's time for a daring mission onto an enemy ship to protect the weird wisps and maybe win the war! But will it all go wrong when Tyler encounters his torturer?Also …

Episode 376: Planetfall(ing asleep at a mid episode) 1:28:24

15d ago1:28:24

1:28:24

We've got three plots this week and somehow almost nothing happens in "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"! We finally have an away mission and Saru goes a bit nuts, which is certainly very "Trek". Meanwhile, Stamets is feeling the strain of being a living navigational computer. And L'Rell meets Cornwell. Yup.Also this week: belated holiday, The Simpsons, a…

Ten Forward 45: Edge of Tomorrow 1:18:10

22d ago1:18:10

1:18:10

Inspired by last week's "Discovery" time loop episode, we're taking a look at 2014's action sci-fi time-loop trip "Edge of Tomorrow". Tom Cruise plays a media relations army man thrust into actual battle and lasts about as long as you'd expect...until some alien magic makes it so he gets to try again. And again. AND AGAIN. Can he save the planet AN…

Episode 375: Mudd Is The Fire In Which We Burnham 1:32:53

29d ago1:32:53

1:32:53

Harry Mudd is back and he's out for revenge in "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"! He's got some inexplicable time magic creating a loop that should allow him to pull off the perfect heist, and a spore-dappled Stamets might be the only person that can throw a wrench into his plans! With a little help from our main character, of course.Also this …

Episode 374: Sarek Is A Terrible Father 1:10:48

1M ago1:10:48

1:10:48

"Discovery" is expanding the Bad Dad lore; we already knew Sarek wasn't great at the whole father thing, but when his adopted daughter dives into his subconscious in "Lethe", we find out he maybe gives Worf a run for his money. And in the B plot: an inappropriate Doctor/Patient relationship NOT involving Bashir!Also this week: judgy tech, Pokémon (…

1
Episode 373: Do Something Muddy 1:18:30

1M ago1:18:30

1:18:30

This week's episode, "Choose Your Pain", engages in a time-honored "Trek" tradition: the Captain takes a shuttle somewhere instead of his massive starship and gets captured. Who could've seen that coming? What will be worse for Lorca: Klingon torture or sharing a cell with one Harcourt Fenton Mudd?Also this week: the big F, Tippecanoe, and more mul…

Ten Forward 44: 765874 Unification 49:12

2M ago49:12

49:12

A bit of a detour from our planned "Discovery" watch as OTOY and The Roddenberry Archive threw everyone a bit of a surprise for "Generations" 30th anniversary. Join us to check out a new short, a continuation of work OTOY has been doing for the past few years. We get a final journey for Captain Kirk, (maybe? depending on how you view it?) through t…

Episode 372: Pulling an Equinox 1:58:43

2M ago1:58:43

1:58:43

Brace yourself for the second-longest and probably-goofiest "Trek" title ever as we spend this week looking at "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry". The stakes are higher than ever for the "Discovery" crew to get her spore drive working properly as the Klingons launch an attack on a key Federation dilithium mining facility. Also Landr…

Episode 371: Everyone Knows That 1:22:35

2M ago1:22:35

1:22:35

With that pesky, extra-long introduction out of the way, "Discovery" can start proper with "Context Is for Kings"! Michael's on her way to space jail until she's bailed out by the shady Captain Gabriel Lorca. He's got secret plans that involve a grumpy scientists, we meet a chatty roommate, and conveniently enough some of Burnham's old crew is alon…

Episode 370: The Vulcan Goodbye 1:45:54

2M ago1:45:54

1:45:54

We're picking up right where we left off last week as the "Discovery" premiere wraps up with "Battle at the Binary Stars"! The Klingons have the advantage and Burnham is in the clink. How on earth will anyone survive long enough for there to be a third episode?!Also this week: T'Kuvma's Playhouse, Vulcan superpowers, and series finales![Battle: 03:…

Episode 369: The Vulcan Ahoy-hoy 2:14:59

3M ago2:14:59

2:14:59

And we're back! Back to "Trek", back to the (soft rebooted) Prime Universe, but not quite back to normal! It's a new era of TV across the board and between that and introducing a whole new show we somehow ran very long discussing only a single episode of "Discovery," part one of its pilot: "The Vulcan Hello"! Meet Michael Burnham and a whole bunch …

Ten Forward 43: Jason X - Spacey Jacey 1:07:31

3M ago1:07:31

1:07:31

Happy Halloween, everyone! We decided to take advantage of the fact that the holiday is on a Thursday this year and sat down to watch the low-budget campfest that is "Jason X"! It looks like it cost roughly $12 and starred every Canadian actor that wasn't working on a "Stargate" or other syndicated early-2000s sci-fi series over a weekend off, whic…

1
Ten Forward 42: The Captains (Shatner's Lament) 1:16:58

3M ago1:16:58

1:16:58

Well. We weren't sure what exactly to expect going into William Shatner's other foray into "Trek" documentary making, "The Captains", but we definitely weren't expecting THIS. Join us as The Shat turns everything into a self-serving therapy session, especially with Patrick Stewart! Gape in horror at the mind-numbing misogyny he spews in front of Ka…

Episode 368: Third Time's the Charm 1:32:30

3M ago1:32:30

1:32:30

With JJ off to work on his beloved "Star Wars" and Simon Peg on writing duties, we come to the (as of writing) end of the Kelvin Timeline. They're going out on a high note, though, featuring the best of their outings and one of the better big screen "Trek" experiences overall. With a better understanding of the characters and world, and a really gr…

1
Episode 367: The Wroth of Harrison 1:45:21

4M ago1:45:21

1:45:21

So the 2009 reboot actually did pretty well, the Kelvin timeline has been established, time to really go out there and oh never mind it's a lame "Wrath of Khan" rehash. With a white Khan. And an ultra-objectified Carol Marcus. And Kirk and Spock are mad at each other for...reasons? Still a better 9/11 "Trek" than "Enterprise", tho.Also this week: s…

1
Episode 366: Nero Fiddled While Canon Burned 1:53:26

4M ago1:53:26

1:53:26

Well the whole prequel thing wasn't great with "Enterprise", so Paramount went to the next "we're out of ideas" phase: REBOOT! Yes, they've dumped Berman but brought in Abrams to bring his "Star Wars" flavored touch to "Star Trek". Time gets warped, Kirk gets drifted, and everyone gets significantly younger in 2009's "Star Trek"! Also this week: Ke…

Ten Forward 41: Trektrospective 1:47:36

4M ago1:47:36

1:47:36

Somehow we've made it: after a little over 8 years and hundreds of episodes we've covered all the "Trek" that aired on broadcast TV from 1966-2005. Before we jump to the next phases of the franchise, we thought we'd take a little time to have a more general discussion about everything that got us here. It's a broad overview where we re-cover the ca…

Ten Forward 40: Tales From the Holodeck VIII - Enterprising Tales 1:50:36

4M ago1:50:36

1:50:36

"Enterprise" might be over, but she has one last outing...sort of. If its finale was HORRIBLE fanfiction, how about you step right up for some, if we do say so ourselves, much better fanfiction! Yes, your stalwarts are at it again, putting their own unique spins on the "Star Trek" universe with the crew of the NX-01. This time: contests, crossovers…

1
Episode 365: Unbelievably Dumb 2:17:13

4M ago2:17:13

2:17:13

Our collective dislike of "Enterprise" is hardly a secret, but even your hosts (and our guest) agree this show deserved a better sendoff than "These Are the Voyages...", or at least a sendoff that was about itself. Rather than simply wrapping things up with the preceding two-parter, the talentless hacks in charge decided to sideline the cast of thi…

1
Episode 364: Expecting the Dumbest Outcome 1:22:40

5M ago1:22:40

1:22:40

We're in the home stretch and "Enterprise" sure is cranking up the stupid to 11! What's the dumbest twist you could have? The two-parter "Demons" and "Terra Prime" has a good chance of using it. RoboCop himself has dropped into "Trek" to unleash a scheme that really only makes sense if you're already a deranged xenophobe who got his hands on some l…

Episode 363: Ninety Percent Dumb 2:03:20

5M ago2:03:20

2:03:20

It's the moment one of your hosts has been waiting for and the others have been dreading! It's time for the "Enterprise" take on the Mirror Universe in the campy two-parter "In a Mirror, Darkly". Watch as we and a guest struggle to tell the difference between Prime and Mirror Archer and wonder if other people weren't allowed to be evil ENOUGH.Also …

1
Episode 362: Worst. Rectons. EVER! 1:50:00

5M ago1:50:00

1:50:00

Oh, boy, time to get some new "Trek" lore! No, not the android kind, the backstory kind! Also I guarantee it's a kind no one sensible wanted, needed, or ended up liking! First up, it takes two terrible episodes to find out why the Klingons are so darn different in TOS with "Affliction" and "Divergence"! After that, brace yourself for what a misogyn…

1
Episode 361: The Big Special Best Friend Ship Fleet 1:16:19

5M ago1:16:19

1:16:19

Well now the Romulans have gone and done it! In their convoluted attempt to destabilize the region they've just gone and helped lay the groundwork for the eventual United Federation of Planets! Maybe there was a better use for their super psychic powered self-repairing ships than this? Also Trip and T'Pol's relationship takes a decidedly teen drama…

1
Episode 360: For Reasons! 1:21:53

6M ago1:21:53

1:21:53

Everyone's up to something this week, tho motivation is maybe a bit vague. First up: voyeuristic aliens are being really creepy and possessing the crew just so they can watch people die in "Observer Effect". After that, someone has come up with a needlessly elaborate ship to try and start a war between the Andorians and Tellarites in "Babel One".Al…

Episode 359: T'Pow vs The Space Ghost 1:32:43

6M ago1:32:43

1:32:43

Step right up to the bout of the 22nd century as the final showdown between the forces of EVIL face the forces of...ah...Archer and Co in "Kir'Shara"! But don't leave just yet, as in our next round it's man vs their own past hubris in "Daedalus"!Also this week: the 90s S, Chris tries to pull a Jake, and Harry Kim![timestamps: Kir'Shara: 01:14; Daed…

Episode 358: The Forge Awakens 1:29:37

6M ago1:29:37

1:29:37

"Enterprise" woke up one day and realized they'd kinda made the Vulcans sort of a mess. So they've decided to semi retcon it so that it's just one dude in the High Command who's evil and everything else is more like we remember it. Mind melding is fine now, we promise! Also, look, it's T'Pau in a deeply unnecessary appearance! And Surak is here, bu…

1
Ten Forward 39: Gattaca 1:31:14

6M ago1:31:14

1:31:14

Since there's been some genetic engineering talk on "Enterprise" recently we decided to finally take a look at 1997's "Gattaca". It's the story of a near-futuristic (or alternate present?) dystopia with designer babies and a future determined entirely by one's genes. But Ethan Hawke wants to go to space, dangit, and he'll do whatever it takes, incl…

Episode 357: Is a Bad Plan Better Than No Plan? 1:20:11

7M ago1:20:11

1:20:11

"Enterprise" has left infurating war crimes behind and has gone back to the familiar comfort of dull and copying older "Trek". In parts two and three of a story that did NOT need to be a three-parter, the Augments go on a rampage and Soong realizes maybe he did, in fact, do a bad thing by unleashing them on the galaxy. Join us, won't you, for "Cold…

Ten Forward 38: Independence Day 1:37:25

7M ago1:37:25

1:37:25

Well look at that, July 4th has fallen on our release day this year and it's always fun to take a break from "Enterprise"! So we're finally taking a look at 1996's action-disaster-blockbuster "Independence Day" (aka ID4)! Get those nostalgia goggles off and see if it still holds up when aliens blow up practical effect monuments and only sexy sexy J…

1
Episode 356: The Old Ways 1:34:58

7M ago1:34:58

1:34:58

Season four finally starts proper after last week's bizarre opener. First up, the crew goes "Home" and does a take on TNG's "Family" if it was a slog and had really bad lessons woven into it. After that: it's part one of what will be multiple three-parters in the final season of "Enterprise" as Brent Spiner guest stars as one of his own ancestors t…

Episode 355: Enterprise VS the Naughtzis 1:22:02

7M ago1:22:02

1:22:02

When we last left our heroes there were aliens in WW2 because why not, right? Sure. Fine. So we're picking up that thread and it turns out to be a bunch of Temporal Cold War nonsense in "Storm Front", parts 1 and 2. On the plus side it's also the end of that idiot saga.Also this week: a questionable montage, Machine Gun Reed, and Commander Chakotay…

Episode 354: Just Get It Over With 1:00:49

8M ago1:00:49

1:00:49

Oh God quick finish it up now, now, NOW! It's "Zero Hour" on "Enterprise" as everything is just tied up in a...well, not a neat little bow. Kind of a last-minute convoluted bow? Also somehow everything and nothing happens all at the same time. Then it's topped off by maybe the dumbest cliffhanger ever?Also this week: too long a shorter season, lott…

1
Episode 353: Oh Right This Is Star Trek 1:26:24

8M ago1:26:24

1:26:24

One day, the writers of "Enterprise" woke up and remembered they weren't writing Nationalistic Propaganda-fest "24" and actually wrote a couple episodes of "Star Trek," wherein people talk about their problems instead of constantly torturing, murdering, and stealing from innocents! Check out a VERY late course-correction as we approach the end of t…

1
Episode 352: That Don't Impress Me Much 1:35:47

8M ago1:35:47

1:35:47

We're racing to the finale but we have to have some filler on the way! In "The Forgotten" John is too busy talking to the Xindi to write a letter so he makes Trip do it. After that, endure a crappy rehash of "Children of Time" with "E²".Also this week: a narratively pointless blaze, a narrative device person, and Gul Dukat![timestamps: Forgotten: 0…

1
Episode 351: Fire Safety Week 1:38:16

8M ago1:38:16

1:38:16

John is only just starting to notice maybe he's up to no good after murdering people in cold blood and then committing piracy. He's still not positive, though. First up, in "Azati Prime" he decides diplomacy is for jerks. Then, in "Damage" he makes a bad choice and we find out T'Pol has secretly also made one but it's only getting mentioned now, ju…

Episode 350: Everybody Go Nuts Tonight 1:14:27

8M ago1:14:27

1:14:27

Bust out the fisheye lens, because it's time to get nuts! First up: it's another rehash of a better episode as Phlox slowly goes mad as he runs the ship while almost everyone else naps in "Doctor's Orders". After that, goo to the face in "Hatchery" turns John into the craziest thing the show can possibly imagine: a responsible Starfleet captain!Als…

Episode 349: Ethic Bending For Fun and Profit! 1:09:28

9M ago1:09:28

1:09:28

Look, we're running out of ways to say how bad this season is. First up: Archer comes up with a new form of psychological torture in "Stratagem". Then he decides with NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that some dying guy is evil and makes him literally writhe in agony (which isn't okay even if he IS evil, JOHN!) in "Harbinger". Then we talk about someone with…

1
Episode 348: It Says Gullible on the Ceiling 1:35:00

9M ago1:35:00

1:35:00

For pity's sake, John keeps falling for obvious lies this week on "Enterprise". First up: religious extremists take over the ship way too easily in an attempt to end a moronic war for jerks in "Chosen Realm". After that, Shran is back to totally just altruistically help and NOTHING ELSE in "Proving Ground".Also this week: the dumbest ladder, Sponge…

Ten Forward 37: What Is a Unicorn But a Horse With an Extra D*ck? 1:51:56

9M ago1:51:56

1:51:56

We're taking a bit of an "Enterprise" break to discuss one of the foundations of modern cyberpunk and its legacy sequel: "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner 2049". In a future where it almost never stops raining, artificial human slaves and their complex, ever-shifting relationship with their human creators/oppressors are the crux on which the world t…

Episode 347: Archer is Selfish 1:35:03

9M ago1:35:03

1:35:03

John wants his way and he's gonna get it, and to the devil with ethics and sensible choices! First up: Trip is in a coma and the Cap'n'll do anything, including listening to Phlox, to get his friend back in "Similitude". After that, why take a soldier into the past when you can drag your first officer along because reasons in "Carpenter Street".Als…

1
Episode 346: They Paradox Horses, Don't They? 1:23:04

10M ago1:23:04

1:23:04

We got time travel and cosplay time travel this week on "Enterprise"! First up, Archer has "Fifty First Dates" syndrome and has to be told daily that Earth done gone kablooey over a decade ago in "Twilight". After that, how did old west humans get onto an alien world in the Delphic Expanse? Find out in "North Star"!Also this week: symbolic stabbing…

1
Episode 345: The Phantom of the Slothra 1:13:23

10M ago1:13:23

1:13:23

The Xindi arc continues this week, and the investigation gets stupid. First up: it's a little "Phantom of the Opera", a little "Beauty and the Beast" and maybe a big pile of tell don't show when Hoshi becomes unwilling roommates with a lonely telepath in "Exile". After that, Archer learns a lesson about the Xindi he'll almost definitely forget by n…

1
Episode 344: Shoot Her! 1:28:17

10M ago1:28:17

1:28:17

When you've got a stun setting, just follow Muldoon's advice and all your problems will be solved. First up: the Xindi come up with a needlessly convoluted plan to get information on human biology in "Rajiin". After that, "Trek" decides to do a pretty humdrum zombie story in "Impulse".Also this week: rewrites, running short, and Odo![timestamps: Ra…

1
Episode 343: Too Much Too Soon 1:22:02

10M ago1:22:02

1:22:02

"Enterprise" is going too fast! First up: Archer ditches his morals faster than you can say "enhanced interrogation" in "Anomaly". After that: maybe "Extinction" would've been more interesting if we didn't know what was happening so early on in it (probably not, tho).Also this week: moral cowardice, Chekov's peach, and Chief O'Brien![timestamps: An…

Episode 342: Every Day's a Bad Day in Florida 1:23:05

Well, it's here. The end of Season 2 and start of Season 3, where the producers decided "let's do 9/11". First up: the dumbest aliens ever decide to try the test version of their planet-killer ray on their ultimate target, thus giving Earth ample time to plan in "The Expanse". After that, "Enterprise" starts its bold new season with yet ANOTHER pri…

Episode 341: The Wrongest Stuff 1:15:31

Everyone is so bad at everything they do this week! First up: we find out how Archer went from milquetoast to milquetoast but a Captain in the tension-free "First Flight"! After that: a dude that's way too nice to be a bounty hunter has the misfortune of capturing Archer and having to spend time with him in "Bounty"!Also this week: three-hander, th…

1:23:49

Content warning: discussion of suicide.Archer just keeps biffing it this week. First up: he's too blinded by his new friends' toys to realize their society is absolute garbage in "Cogenitor". After that, "Enterprise" betrays the prequel format yet again by having Borg show up in "Regeneration".Also this week: confused messaging, timeline theories, …

1
Episode 339: Justice for Mayweather 1:27:00

11M ago1:27:00

1:27:00

Even when they give him something to do, "Enterprise" wastes Mayweather. First up, it's a toothless rehash of "Fortunate Son" as Mayweather visits his family's cargo ship in "Horizon". After that: he gets to lead a rescue mission until he inevitably busts his leg in "The Breach."Also this week: a memorable opening, needs more bigotry, and Kira Nery…

Back to the rehash mines, "Enterprise"! First up: Starfleet meets their first energy beings and we recall all the times they're going to have done it better in their future/our past in "The Crossing".
