Stay ConnectedRicardo and Sara have never watched Star Trek before! So Marvin and Dan are taking them on a journey to watch it all, one episode at a time! From unhinged unrelated tangents to deep philosophical discussions, you’ll never know what the week’s episode might draw out of us!
We’re currently going through Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, alternating by air date! New episodes every Tuesday!
Newbie Star Trek is part of Fugitive Frames.

A Klingon Challenge! Hey, I don't remember this episode of TNG. Why's the Enterprise empty? Why are they using non-Star Trek font? Why aren't they shooting this with film cameras? Who's this Kavok guy? Why are we looking at some sort of game board? And what is this "VHS" you speak of?
Seriously, though, you should watch the video version of the podcast here instead: https://youtu.be/KUqQALBkx9w

The Host! No, not the bonkers Bong Joon-ho scifi classic or the romantic sci-fi novel by Stephanie Meyer, but the episode of TNG! Man, "The Host" sure is a popular title! And yes, the episode that introduced the Trill, and yes, Beverly totally gets her mack on. But how'll she take it when she finds out how the Trill really operate? Will Picard be jealous? Why is Riker so eager to volunteer for everything? Will the newbies take it all in stride? Tune in to find out!

Half a Life! A deeply philosophical and somber episode straddles us with questions such as "Should we decide when elder adults become culturally obsolete?", "Should we interfere with the cultural customs of other societies, even when we find them deeply morally reprehensible?", and "Why is Lwaxana Troi still here?" All this and more, answered on this episode!

The Drumhead! What happens when the show needs a cheap episode in the can, Jonathan Frakes puts back on his directing hat and starts referencing classic courtroom drama films, a nationalist zealot boards the Enterprise, Worf gets whisked away by the fervor and excitement of a witch hunt, and Picard's past mistakes are brought back to haunt him? This episode, I guess!

Night Terrors! It's basically Nightmare on Elm Street, but without Freddy Krueger! Does that make it the worst episode of season 4? We wouldn't say so, but then we say lots of things, like that OnlyFans is willing to violate the Geneva Convention, Jesus just needed to sleep off the crucifixion, that it's hard to get to Hawaii, and that Dan has quite a large body count. What are we talking about? Tune in to find out!

Galaxy's Child! Geordi's old fake holodeck flame comes back to haunt him in this extra creepy episode of TNG! Nate Tang, the composer of our theme song, joins us this week as we dive into the extreme ooginess of Geordi insisting that he's done nothing wrong and the writers writing Leah Brahms to agree somehow! Wow, these were definitely different times!
