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.

Yesterday's Enterprise! Welcome to our first ever commentary track! We thought this would be a special one since Ricardo's favorite character is Tasha Yar, and we all know what that means! Watch the episode along with us as Ricardo reacts to Yesterday's Enterprise for the first time!
TECHNICAL NOTE: This commentary track only syncs up with the Blu-ray and Paramount+ versions of TNG. The Netflix version shortens the amount of black screen between commercial breaks, which leads to a pretty significant de-sync.

Deja Q! Oh how the turns have tabled, Señor Q. Now that Q has lost his power and must live like a miserable, squishy, worthless human, will he become easier to deal with? Will Data become his best friend? Will they both learn the true meaning of what it is to be selfless? Also, why is this moon falling? All we know for sure if that we don't need your fantasy women!

The High Ground! It's over, Picard! I have the high ground! In all seriousness, though, an episode about terrorism, specifically the IRA and the Troubles. Will Star Trek be able to handle this delicate topic tastefully and meaningfully? The answer to that question is no. Did George Lucas steal this title for yet another prequel concept? The answer to that question is maybe?

The Price! Negotiations begin over a suspect wormhole that honestly should've been vetted a lot more thoroughly before negotiations ever even began! At the same time, the Ferengi crash the party, Georgi and Data risk their lives traveling through the wormhole, and Deanna Troi gets creeped on SUPER hard by some weird Southern guy! In our discussion, Ricardo uncovers a foot fetish conspiracy within the ranks of the TNG crew, and Sara brings her perspective towards potentially deeper meanings of all the skeeziness going on! Could TNG ever get any more sexually uncomfortable to watch? Tune in to find out!
