Kept Afloat by Dick Pills (Picard S3E10) Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

When a haunted cube shows up inside Jupiter, a dustbuster club beams down to rescue Jack from the Borg Queen’s plans. But when Picard plugs himself in and the D gets ready to fire, a dozen denouements start prescribing the next era of Trek. What do they keep in Bay 13? Do all public speaking drones get similar hardware? Who had the best character arc in season 3? It’s the episode that can gofobo itself!

Two Seasons of Tantric Star Trek (Picard S3E9) Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

When the crew finally learns what’s behind Jack’s red door, he Teen Wolfs his way off the Titan to go handle his problems himself. But when new assimilation technology turns young Starfleets into drones, only the olds will be able to save Frontier Day. Was it the right choice for this season to bury the green lede? Whose therapist has a door that locks from the outside? What important advice did Jean-Luc give Jack? It’s the episode that’s practicing on the field!

She’s a TÁRorist (Picard S3E8) Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

When Vadic starts terrorizing the Titan and Jack can’t Teen Wolf his way out of their dilemma, a tragic ultimatum draws him up to the bridge looking for any information about this season’s main story. But while Riker and Troi hash things out on the Shrike, a synthetic resurrection puts the whole band back together again to face what’s next. Which phaser setting makes clean up a breeze? Does Star Trek have a bad track record with actors named Michelle? What do Armus and the Changelings have in common? It’s the episode with braided hot pink ropes!

Riding Shotgun in the Teen Wolf Van (Picard S3E7) Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

When Jean-Luc and Beverly start contemplating genocide, Vadic catches up with the Titan to try to take Jack by force. But when Lore locks out Geordi and Vadic slips out of Picard’s trap, her tragic backstory raises new questions about Jack’s unique physiology. What’s the sneakiest thing about watermelon as a flavor? Where could this season have used a dark Wheaton punch up? Who do we really want to see in a spinoff show? It’s the episode that‘s getting irritated about the cliffhanger from the last episode!

It's Max Fun Drive! .

Changeling Equals Meatloaf (Picard S3E6) Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

When the band is mostly back together again, they’ll need all their Starfleet ingenuity to get an away team inside the vault at Daystrom Station. But when the security system glitches because it recognizes Riker, learning what else was stolen means leaving someone behind. What happens to a body when it’s exposed to too much Nexonic energy? How many more Daystrom exhibits are there? Do ancient myth and pornography agree on anything? It’s the episode that’s ten times more dangerous than a portal weapon!

He Wears the IDIC So You Can Know the Time (Picard S3E5) Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

When a person from Picard’s past shows up to interrogate him about Jack, they have to rip off some emotional scabs to get back to a place of trust. But when Jack starts acting more like Jason Bourne than The Manchurian Candidate, the team uncovers clues about the evolution of the Changeling plot. When is having low expectations the best approach? How is an acting Captain’s log like a shoe? What’s Beverly’s automatic signature? It’s the episode that’s more puffy than usual!

The Ultimate Stranger (Picard S3E4) Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

When Riker concedes to the inevitability of the Titan being crushed by the gravity well of a nebula, he suggests that Picard use his final hours to fire up the holodeck and get to know the son that didn’t want to know him. But when Dr. Crusher recognizes contraction patterns in the light bangers they’ve been experiencing, the crew will have to hold their breath as they're birthed out of a space womb. Did Shaw put Riker in charge to avoid going down with the ship? Who gets dibs on the last wishes machine? Will anybody offer Beverly a seat? It’s the episode that leaves a super awkward voicemail message.

Best Knuck in New Star Trek (Picard S3E3) Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

When Captain Shaw falls on a girder and throws Riker the Captain’s keys, season 3 tries to conjure a Crimson Tide moment between hiding from Vadic or fighting the Shrike. But when the A and B stories both discover a new enemy hiding under the surface, sabotage on the Titan sends it sinking toward crush depth. What’s the mind-reading deal between Riker and Troi? Who is in the running for Starfleet’s best Captain? Did David Cronenberg consult on Picard? It’s the episode that’s missing a canonical koala!

Still a Chance of Nubbin (Picard S3E2) Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

When Season 3’s big baddie catches up with the Titan, her demand for Jack Crusher comes with a terrifying ultimatum. But when Riker gets exasperated by Picard avoiding the question, he pulls Beverly out of a coma to find out who Jack’s father is. How did the Crushers acquire the Mariposa? Which character is less likable than the villains? What will this season’s Bajoran Tablet be? It’s the episode that’s kind of on Team Shrike!

Compounding Assholery (Picard S3E1) Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

When Admiral Picard receives a super-secret message, he calls in some favors to reach its point of origin. But while Raffi and her handler struggle to stave off a terrorist attack, Jean-Luc Jakes a shuttle to con his way into his next adventure. Are all signs pointing to nubbin bugs? Is Adam Ragusea the chef on the Titan? How many mixtapes is too many mixtapes? It’s the episode that’s just asking questions!
