Buried in a Grave Marked Meatball (Lower Decks S4E1) Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

When the Cerritos gets a super secret mission, Voyager’s deepest cuts end up both ruining and saving the day. But with the tiniest key bump of a promotion on the line, the ensigns pull together to get Voyager safely back to Earth. Are standards too low among Star Trek fans? What type of erasure is Lower Decks guilty of? If a Borg Cube was an earth animal, which would it be? It’s the episode warmed by 24 ounces of cake shake!

Emotional Telecine (with Adam Ragusea) Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

When Ben and Adam find themselves in the off season, they invite back composer extraordinaire and reluctant YouTube sensation, Adam Ragusea, to chat about Trek. But when the jazz gummies hit and the podcast fluid keeps flowing, the conversation may not stay on target. What's the right way to make fun of Disco? Can Ragusea convince the guys to rotate through TNG again? What's more difficult, a self rim or a pull-down? It's the episode that asks you to do bits on casinos.

Ass & Sandal (STLV 2023) Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

When the team heads to Vegas for an increasingly unlicensed convention, FODs show up in force to make it the best STLV yet. But when the Rio itself gets downright scary, even an excellent staff can’t save hotel points from being deducted. Which type of summer camp includes bingo? What was the beverage of choice for STLV ’23? Should Prodigy explore its darker themes? It’s the episode as bewildering as the extremely liminal pizza place inside the Rio!

Practical Butts (SNW S2E10) Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

When Captain Batel’s priority one mission goes sideways, the Entrepreneur finds a disaster orbiting Parnassus Beta. But with everyone hiding in a Johnny Rockets and no way to beam out, a daring rescue mission brings Captain Pike face to face with his demons. What does an ideal America look like to Michael Bay? Which things should Star Trek use sparingly? How does Doctor M’Benga cut his waffles? It’s the episode that’s a successful ball of knots!

Bœuf Denouement (SNW S2E9) Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

When the Entrepreneur finds a rare space crack, sending a musical theatre number in makes it come unzipped. But when the junk that spills out puts everyone in a singing mood, dishonored Klingons raise the stakes for the grand finale. What’s the most dangerous conversation with a partner? Why does La’an keep her braid so tight? Can transporters take care of family planning too? It’s the episode that makes an ass out of its own ass!

Canonical Commuter Mug (SNW S2E8) Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

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!

Science and Cigarettes (SNW S2E7) Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

When Boimler gets a portal suck that lands him in the past, he’s worried he might be responsible for an authentically creepy Spock. But when Mariner joins the party and they solve the horonium puzzle, convincing the portal pirates requires everyone’s best diplomacy. How do Orions utilize their refractory period? In what way is Starfleet like Orthodox Judaism? Are surprise parties a crime? It’s the episode that’s definitely not promotional!

Noteworthy Knuck (SNW S2E6) Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

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.

Space-Time Hall Pass (SNW S2E5) Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

When a perfectly avoidable shuttlecraft accident causes Spock to be reassembled as human-only, he and the crew have the privilege of experiencing the whole spectrum of his myriam adolescent emotions. 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.

Nobody Goes to the Castle for Free (SNW S2E4) Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

When Captain Pike revisits Rigel VII to clean up an old mess, the away team lose their memory and wake up in The Cage. But while the crew of the Enterprise work through their own Conundrum, Pike’s trip to the castle reconnects everyone with their past. Is there an ideal timing for death as a podcaster? What are the physics of Captain Batel’s dimple? How many pips are possible in one promotion? It’s the episode still obsessed with the luggage of Star Trek!
