Sex Ed with the Cloud (SNW S1E8) Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

When Strange New Worlds serves up classic Star Trek corn, Dr. M’Benga is faced with a very serious decision about his daughter’s future. But even though Debra has the crew trapped in a fairytale, it’s Rukiya who gets to decide how this story will end. Is it weird to have a favorite Jeffries tube? Does production need to get value out of their gaunt and wan dummy? What’s the most tragic corn preparation? It’s the episode with a 12-hour theme song!

Cyber Pirate (SNW S1E7) Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

When a grown-up slickback pulls a fast one on Spock, lying about a love triangle is his only way out of the trap. But while Pike is cooking up mutiny on The Serene Squall, Captain Angel’s escape leaves everyone wondering what’s next. Do Vulcans trim their pubes the way they trim their bangs? Is storytelling symmetrical? What’s involved in solo clubbing? It’s the episode that shares its pain and gains strength from the sharing!

Nostalgically Smitten (SNW S1E6) Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

When Pike flies too close to an old flame, his reprisal of a rescue from ten years prior leads to furthering diplomatic relations in the honeymoon suite. But when he learns what’s keeping the Majalans out of the lava, Pike can’t condone the sacrifice Uh-Lora is willing to make. Is La’an the Harry Bosch of Star Trek? What are the conditions of Pike’s sexual attendance? Do the ascension caves need better cable management? It’s the episode that makes podcast history on videotape!

Take Your Partner’s Katra to Work Day (SNW S1E5) Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

When the crew gets shore leave on Starbase 1, relationships get complicated and wires get crossed. But while the R'ongovians teach Captain Pike about radical empathy, everyone else gets a personalized lesson on the importance of being honest. Would it be Vulcan appropriation to use wedding gongs and bells? Is Medieval Times a Bookable-Ass Venue? Why is Chief Kyle a total bastard to subordinates? It’s the episode that can’t agree on whom to ship.

La’an, a Plan, a Remodulated Phaser, Panama (SNW S1E4) May 31, 2022

Show notes

When an encounter with the Gorn turns the Entrepreneur into a celestial submarine, a deep dive through a brown dwarf puts the crew and the ship under a crushing amount of pressure. But when childhood trauma is what resurfaces for La’an, everyone works together to plan a diversion and their escape. Why is there red bedding in sickbay? Would shipping Uhemmer be inappropriate? Is La’an the most metal crewperson in Star Trek? It’s the episode drenched in submarine movie flop sweat!

Sunburnt Light Junkies (SNW S1E3) May 24, 2022

Show notes

When Pike and Spock get trapped in the library of an Illyrian colony, the Enterprise crew locks down to contain a mysterious contagion burning through the ship. But while Dr. M’Benga’s secret turns out to be the cause of the outbreak, Una’s secret ends up being the cure. Did Ensign Lance’s flashlight come from the Blue Bloods prop box? Did Uhura kick her roomates’ asses off-screen? What do Andorian poops look like? It’s the episode giving very hot dome!

Burnt-End Body Shots (SNW S1E2) May 17, 2022

Show notes

When there’s a planet killer en route to an inhabited world, Captain Pike wants to nudge it toward its higher destiny against the will of the comet’s keepers. But when Sam gets handsy inside of M’hanit’s temple, the away team gets trapped and Uhura has to sing them back to safety. Why don’t we see more belly buttons in Star Trek? Are precogs always pasty? What are Number One’s quarters like? It’s the episode with party hair!

A Khan Man (Picard S2E10) May 10, 2022

Show notes

When Q sends the crew full circle on Season 2, Picard gets his absolution and a second chance at love. But with so many loose ends to tie up, it takes a Michael Bay pace to resolve it all in time. Can we get Seven a new shirt? What do you do with a Romulan corpse in 2024? Is Star Trek obligated towards coherence? It’s the episode that just needed a hug!

Hair Technologies (SNW S1E1) May 06, 2022

Show notes

When Captain Pike gets called back from Montana to rescue Number One, the mission goes from undercover prison break to very persuasive Powerpoint presentation after Spock’s loaf wears off. But as the Entrepreneur’s new crew settles in for a season of space exploration, Pike sees visions of his future in every reflective panel on the ship. Is the Vulcan bra unnecessarily complex? Are shipwide comms the best part about being a Starfleet captain? Was Archer insulted by having a single-nacelle ship named after him? It’s the episode with million-dollar grays!

Ricardo Memorial Hospital (Picard S2E9) May 03, 2022

Show notes

When Nana Borgs turns the La Sirena green, the crew reconvenes to take back the ship and save Season 2’s future. But Picard’s parlay with Dr. Soong leads to a basement chase through the darkest corners of the chateau’s history. Are Borgs especially good at branding? Does anyone drink lemonade with breakfast? What’s the barf contingency w/r/t air travel? It’s the episode that wants to get the Season 2 DVD set!
