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.

Sarek! Jasmin joins us for the official start of the Star Trek Cinematic Universe, where we get our first official crossover from the original series! Sarek's back! But not in pog form! Instead, he's a metaphor for old age and Alzheimer's! Oh no! Also, Jasmin wanted to point out that Sarek's failing mental state happened to parallel the mental decline of Gene Roddenberry around the time of airing, but she didn't get a chance to mention that in the actual discussion, so she's including it here now, yay!

The Most Toys! Ricardo thinks this episode is actually a better Data episode than Measure of a Man, and Dan thinks this episode is annoying because of the Collector trope. But at least the one thing we can all agree on is that this is the most punchable villain ever. Consensus!

Hollow Pursuits! We have our first randy episode discussion with Scott as we talk about Howling Mad-- I mean Lieutenant Reginald Barclay's extreme social anxiety, general management skills, and the ethics of the holodeck. Spoiler alert: there's a LOT of steamy imagery, both implied and just directly transcribed from what's in the episode. Also, we open some Star Trek trading card packs live! Whee~!

Tin Man! Picard, crew, and some annoying Betazoid jerk decide to find a big living alien spaceship that's named "Tin Man" for purely metaphorical reasons. It kinda looks like a big blunt, which is appropriate since we recorded this episode on 4/20. It also looks like a gigantic turd, I hope that's not a metaphor for the episode or something.

Captain's Holiday! Marvin and Dan's old college buddy Dustin joins us for this especially randy episode of the podcast! What happens when Patrick Stewart wants an episode that has lots of fighting and fornicating? An Indiana Jones-esque weird time travel plot on a sexy pleasure/treasure planet, that's what!
Here's the truncated version of the Dan Avidan/Game Grumps Star Trek Experience video we watched on the podcast: https://youtu.be/tunI0nX7Gss

Allegiance! Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer! To add something new to this wonderful year! To honour we call you, as freemen not slaves! (Picard's only two black employees stare back awkwardly)

Galaxy Quest! The 1999 sci-fi spoof movie that the fans at the 2013 Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas voted as the seventh best Star Trek movie of all time, so that means it totally qualifies for this podcast, right? Our discussion meanders more than usual as we try our best to discuss the movie, share some fan convention stories, and also discuss the very meaning of art itself! Wow! Happy April Fools Day!

Sins of the Father! Another very Klingon-centric episode, but this time we get to visit Qo'noS! What will happen when we combine a "long-lost brother" script with a "court trial to preserve family honor" script into one crazy Klingon politics-driven episode? Maybe not exactly everything we hoped it could be!

The Offspring! What if Measure of a Man came back as a band from the late 90's? Is that what this episode is? I dunno, but it's got some deep questions about gender identity, parenting new life, sentience, the unbearable burden of feelings, and the crushing existential dread of being alive, all of which go completely unanswered! Also, Jonathan Frakes directed this one, wow!

Yesterday's Enterprise! Last podcast episode, we watched the episode live as a commentary track. This week, our resident Star Trek expert Scott rejoins us to talk about what many consider to be the greatest episode of Star Trek of all time! Just to remind everyone: Tasha Yar is Ricardo's favorite character. So what does he think now that he's finally seen the episode?
