When Michael is left to decide who will take over for Saru as Number One, she makes the startling realization that everyone else is very pro Book Burnham. But when the dirt bike rental owner calls for the 10th time in a row to collect damages, the crew decides they're better off skipping town to chase Moll and L'ak than footing the bill. Doth the Book protest too much? Who's a scorpion and who's a frog? Does Betazed still have the cum plants? It’s the episode that makes you a ganglia you can't refuse.

My Medusans Are Up Here, Gentlemen (TOS S3E5) Mar 28, 2024

Drugstore Godzilla Suit (TOS S1E19) Mar 26, 2024

When Kirk beams down for a house party on Cestus III, what he finds instead is an aerial bombardment and one very angry outpost survivor. But when the Enterprise gives chase and the Metrons sense violent intent, a broadcast death match is the only suggestion for conflict resolution. Are Spock and McCoy capable of effectively insulting each other? What kind of utensil can you bring to a dinner party? Is bamboo strong enough to make a bazooka out of? It’s the episode that is somewhat diminished by O’Herlihy’s presence.

But when the Cylons magically split the trolly and send it down both tracks, President Rosalind enters into a power struggle with the new leader of the Colonial fleet. What’s the dream move during any argument? Are the Capricans actually Pah-wraith people? How does someone get through TSA with a meat scroll? It’s the episode that’s desperately clinging to the outside of a spaceship!

A Thousand Things At Once (Patrick Stewart on Bullseye) Jan 19, 2024

When Jesse Thorn joins Ben and Adam to relive a conversation with P-Stew, the intro runs almost as long as the interview itself. But when foundational SNL sketches differ, the resulting questions go from glib to sincere and Jesse offers up remote pod viewing directly into his adolescence. If NPR is Godzilla, what is PRI? Where do public radio and Star Trek align? What’s the weirdest thing about having lunch with Jesse? It’s the episode that fantasizes about a very elderly man’s workout routine.

But when the trio wants Bonita Applebum and instead they get Apples and Bananas, it looks like things may be off to a rocky start. Where has Kevin been hiding all these years? Is it crenellation or castellation? Does Instacart deliver to the D quad? It’s the episode that asks “What did you think of that?”

The New Yorker But With Fart Jokes and Dongers (What We Left Behind) Jan 05, 2024

When Ben and Adam got to see an early preview of the DS9 retrospective in 2019, they sat down to record a bonus episode about everything it brought to light. But with Voyager’s own documentary on the way soon, how will it compare without a Shat or an Ira to center himself in the story. Who was responsible for a prison experiment at the live screening? Why is this production so kind to Rick Berman? What type of director wouldn’t have used Meredith Brooks? It’s the episode that feels a lot like a Star Trek convention in a box.

When a very important Star Trek person wanders into Ben’s cargo bay, he leaves the handmade gun at home to avoid another encounter with security. But with a 50% hit rate on the backstage rider, “Bowmore 15 or similar” results in something “perfectly drinkable”. How did Waltke Senior inform Rok-Tahk’s mouth? Is Kevin Uxbridge being discussed inside of Big Rodd’s pocket? Does Nickelodeon slime have a shelf life? It’s the episode that’s made for specialized collectors of Star Trek V memorabilia!

When a really good crew takes a redshirt on an away mission, he turns out to be more of a cowboy than they expected. But when they agree to a really big score, they might meet their match with a crew playing for the other team. What's the URL for Craig's List but for heists? What do you call guys that aren't Wayne Knight, but kind of are? Is the Sizemore Special a smart thing to order for breakfast on the morning of a heist? Everybody knows that Heat isn't a holiday movie. What this special episode presupposes is, maybe it is?

When yet another awards show rolls through The Beverly Hilton Ballroom, Greatest Trek’s biggest stars gather to honor an entire year of NuTrek. But when none of the winners show up to receive their awards, it becomes clear why some presenters were also nominees in their category. Who doesn’t even watch Star Trek?

Canonical Commuter Mug (SNW S2E8) Jul 28, 2023

When the Entrepreneur is assigned an Uber mission that involves shuttling a Klingon ambassador with a lengthy curriculum mori, M’Benga forgets about waffles and starts leaning into his dark side. But when Chapel starts experiencing similar horrors, no one can be sure if the line dividing morality and criminality is strongly defined. Is Adam on the side of the AMPTP? Is the Kelcie Mae the ugliest Federation starship? Is the wooden train whistle the best elementary school instrument? It’s the episode that goes elbow deep into a soldier’s body!

When “organizational difficulties” plague Starfleet’s new gas station, the Enterprise and the Farragut arrive to stir up fluids at the stellar nursery. But when Lieutenant Ramon starts having a bit of a moment, Uhura’s own Frank makes her think she’s next in line. What’s the only way to get things done around the house? Who is the Cosmo Kramer of Strange New Worlds? Is there anything Jim Kirk’s erection can’t tear through? It’s the episode that ran out of foot fetish specifics.

But when his judgy future in-laws insist on performing some pre-wedding rituals, Chapel persuades her ride-or-dies to Jake a shuttle in order to convince a stoned AI voice assistant to hand over its ancient medical technology. Was this episode penned by theater nerds? Why let someone else scan your moon? What’s the deal with plomeek soup? It’s the episode that smells like Vulcan.

How important are the facts when it comes to ancient teachings? Is there a way to make leeches more palatable? It’s the episode that’s getting liberal with the Folex usage!

Backwards Family Circus Slug (Prodigy S1E12) Nov 08, 2022

When the Protostar is suddenly in proximity of a sleepy Borg cube, the crew’s first thought is to go inside to get some help with the diabolical weapon they’ve found under the floor. But when no one listens to Hologram Janeway, Zero’s guilt debt leads the kids into an incredibly naive plan. Who could really grow it on the vinculum? Which drone needs to be an action figure? How do Boomers wear their Jordans? It’s the episode with a tremendous amount of fucking around and very little finding out!

Murph in the Mug, Broken by a Hug (Prodigy S1E11) Nov 01, 2022

When the Protostar reaches a remote outpost, meeting a real-life Starfleet raises more questions than answers for the crew. But when Vice Admiral Janeway picks up some strange readings on Tars Lamora, her pursuit of Chakotay leads her into bad guy territory. Shouldn’t all starships have a just-in-case tank? Which app do you use for no-strings whale action? Is there an eviler way to cook a sausage? It’s the episode that’s a friendship contest that’s also a podcast!

The Wrath of Badgey (Lower Decks S3E10) Oct 27, 2022

When Captain Freeman challenges Admiral Buenamigo to a mission race, the fate of the entire Cali-class is on the line. But when Mariner tunes in to FNN, her career as a tomb raider is cut short. Is Star Trek full of sex candles? Why aren’t there more contest episodes? Have the pronunciation waters ever been muddier? It’s the episode that didn’t check for nubbins!

Hairy Glitter Hot Dogs (Lower Decks S3E9) Oct 25, 2022

When Mariner wants to gush about life on the Cerritos to a visiting reporter, everyone mistrusts her intentions and tries to shut her out of the story. But when Captain Freeman assumes the worst about her daughter’s unauthorized interview, her epic overreaction forces Mariner to choose between Starbase 80 and striking out on her own. Is nepotism still legal in some states? How are we supposed to feel about Captain Freeman? Is a bunk bed shuttle the ultimate indignity? It’s the episode that’s still looking for (and finding) glitter!

When Boilmer pens a sequel to the original Crisis Point, it winds up skewing a little more The Final Frontier than The Wrath of Khan. But when Tendi cosplays as captain, it’s Romulan boob windows all over space. Is this the best the E has ever looked? What’s the point of towel warmers?

But when Rawda takes the wayward space box under his wing, the ancient secret he shares ends up changing the course of the planet. Does Tom Hanks not know how to land a plane? Has new goat-milking technology affected the Areore population? What did woke culture ruin this time? It’s the episode that has completed the pivot to multi-hyphenate podcast!

When the Cerritos stops at DS9 for some post-war diplomacy, Quark has his own reasons for not wanting to do business with the Karemma. But when great social discomfort forces several characters to face their past, squirrelly Ferengi accounting is there to mitigate the drama. What comes after the Armus phase?

But when Rutherford faces off with a younger version of himself, a glimpse of his past raises questions about a cover up. How much detail is needed for a bit? Why is Federov taking so many showers?

But when the psychic mines start revealing the ensigns’ fantasies, they learn a lot about each other and their reputation among the Cali-class ships. WHO THE FUCK is Captain Murakami? Is there an acceptable shortcut to galactic exploration? What use is a teacher with no passion for the material? It’s the episode that’s not tolerating any DeSoto erasure!

But when Mariner discovers that Rutherford and Billups committed the ultimate faux pas by not cropping their tops, she prematurely jumps into action. Will Boimler boldly go where no Boimler has gone before? Is guacamole a condiment? Was Ortegas part Delanian? It's the episode that tells you, “there's no use in crying over spilled milk”.

But when things look truly hopeless, reaching into the shockingly lifelike orifices of the verugament is the only way for the ensigns to save face. Will there be any tech bros left in San Francisco by the 2380s? Does anyone actually win in an offensiveness-measuring contest? Where are the lawyers at with the Ooby Dooby?

But an undercover mission to slip Book’s ship past Zora’s defenses could become both a political scandal and a hostage situation by the time Discovery leaves for the hyperfield. What’s at the bottom of the garbage chute? Do most people know how to not act creepy? What if the DMA DGAF about MBS? It’s the episode that communicates through feelings dust!

Roly Towel Reveal Party (Discovery S4E10) Mar 01, 2022

When Discovery travels through the galactic barrier to fast track first contact with Unknown Species 10-C, everyone’s in for a bumpy ride. But DMA 2.0 is on its way to the Alpha Quadrant, giving the crew only four days to avert disaster. Why didn’t Bryce get a better send off? Did the Emerald Chain order My Pillows in bulk to make some sort of statement? Does Detmer have a niche interest in old-timey idioms? It’s the episode that’s extra galactic!

Ganglia Stuff (Discovery S4E9) Feb 22, 2022

When Discovery plays DMA chicken with Book’s ship, Commander Nhan is assigned as Captain Burnham’s babysitter. But Tarka’s predictable tricks can’t end this monster of the season. Is Dr. Culber available for mediation? Why doesn’t Book’s ship have a name? Is Stamets still touching goo? It’s the episode that set up us the bomb!

Ketracel Grape (Prodigy S1E10) Feb 08, 2022

When the crew liberates the miners on Tars Lamora, they join forces to turn the Rev-12 into a spin-off show. But when Gwyn regains control of the Protostar, The Diviner finally lets her in on his somewhat confusing but diabolical plan. Should Bill wade into social media controversies? Can you unscramble eggs? How many lines did the kitty actually have? It’s the episode that strictly enforces the “three strikes and you’re out” rule!

But a no-win scenario ends in a cliffhanger that’s a week early for another mid-season break! Is anyone ever steering the Protostar? Does Drednok’s lineage cause problems in the bathroom?

When the crew of the Protostar can’t solve a simple riddle, it pushes Dal to finally come clean with Hologram Janeway. But when the ship wanders too close to a tachyon storm, a purple pulse puts everyone on a different ticking time clock. Should Zero alter her anatomy to type faster?

When Hologram Janeway studies a reel of found footage on the Protostar, everyone else is too busy playing with their food. But when Dal’s custodial parent turns out to be trash, he’ll have to win a bet on himself to save the crew. What kind of ship breaks the internet? Who likes an umbrella hat?

We’ve Been Building to a Fart Joke This Entire Time (Prodigy S1E6) Jan 11, 2022

While Discovery takes five on Season 4, the Protostar super warps to the Gamma Quadrant and no one turns into a lizard! But there’s mutiny on the bounty when all Dal wants to do is play video games. Has Janeway never felt shame about her favorite holodeck program? Are Adam’s violent ideations w/r/t Rok-Tahk scaring anyone else? Is homemade pickle brine magic?

Lad Mag Dad Mad (Discovery S4E7) Jan 04, 2022

When Zora begins to have strong opinions about the next phase of Discovery’s mission, not even an order from Michael Burnham is enough to change her mind. But when President Rillak brings a more explosive matter to a vote, it’ll be speech vs speech to persuade the course ahead. Why do cats love Ben so much? Aren’t we past having hands to vote? How big of a pip should Zora get? It’s the episode that could use a “premise walk”!

Zora Could Be Toobining (Discovery S4E6) Dec 28, 2021

When the Discovery flies into a stone-cold Nagilum type situation, we find out what is and isn’t expendable onboard. But when the ship’s computer gets overwhelmed, only a game of Guess Who can center her long enough to save the crew. If Book’s given name is Durex, what does that mean about his dad? How Nerf-like is Saru? Why aren’t we getting the Crewman Cortez treatment? It’s the episode where Ben and Adam open gifts from Bill Tilley!

But when modern-day Stamets must work alongside Vintage Stamets in an experiment on the DMA, Saru will have to be the adult in the room. Can Saru “Hudson” the brooch? Is this beam, or is this holo?

When Tilly substitute teaches at Starfleet Academy, the cadets are in danger of failing their group project. But when a banger strands them on the wrong moon, they’ll need all the extra credit they can get. Does parasitic ice come cubed, crushed, or pebbled? Is Gray going to have a raging hangover tomorrow?

When Starfleet’s dilithium milk runs become the target of Qowat Milat outlaws, Michael Burnham is saddled with her mom (and Tilly) to track them down. But when the reason for the stealin’ makes it clear that it’s nun of their business, the justice they deliver will be swift but lenient. Why construct a gollum starting with the feet? Is Tilly capable of killing…a plate of macaroni and cheese? Did the show install gas lines everywhere? It’s the episode that does a shot of Goldschläger!

When Discovery jumps to the anomaly, it’s hard to get a sense of its square footage. But when Book declares himself the only one pre-qualified for a tour, Captain Burnham must talk him out of an impulsive decision. What’s the coolest Starfleet extra-curricular activity? Is doing wire work without Michelle Yeoh even legal? Can't we just stick to the protocol? It’s the episode that wears a fancy brooch!

You’d Die to Get Killed Off of a Show Like This (Discovery S4E1 & Prodigy S1E5) Nov 23, 2021

When dilithium milk runs get a bit repetitive for the Disco crew, they envy the Starbases getting knocked for a loop. But when the same force spinning the stations hits Book way too close to home, the crew gears up for what looks like another season-level emergency. Do tentacles have a smell? Will the crew all evolve into salamanders when they’re different species to begin with? Is this cap about Disco or Prodigy? It’s the episode that’s like the last chopper out of Saigon, and also the first chopper into Saigon.

Infinite Helmet Diversity in Infinite Combinations of Spacesuit (STP S1E3) Nov 16, 2021

When the Protostar skids to a stop on a class M planet, it seems like the perfect place for the crew to have their first away mission. But when the planet’s inhabitants start to give the crew the creepy-crawlies, their leadership vacuum will have to be filled in the next episode. How many Prodigy toys will the kids want for the holidays? Je suis, Murph? We’re really keeping that mouth, aren’t we? It’s the episode that doesn’t do two shows at the same time.

But when Dal makes his first command decision, they might also get a crash course in black holes. If Dal has no past, why does he seem so much like a failson? How does NutriGoop™ look coming out? Is there any law to fit Gwyn’s crime? It’s the episode where we’re picking up after Murph with our bare hands.
