Leola Root Gruel (VOY S5E9) Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

When Tom Paris finds a cause that fulfills his childhood dreams, BLT eggs him on to get a 30-day break from their relationship. But when Paris goes rouge in the middle of Captain Janeway’s diplomacy, she’s ready to bomb the Delta Swimmer but settles for jerking Tom’s leash instead. What does a carpeted cell say about the prisoner? Is there a column B in the Prime Directive? Where will you never find any regrets? It’s the epistolary episode with a mathy pivot!

The Metaphor Has Been Mengele’d (VOY S5E8) Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

When BLT starts wearing an anime lizard shawl, everyone is up in arms over Doc Holoday’s Cardassian consultant. But even after BLT declines treatment on principle, Captain Janeway makes a call that sends shockwaves through the crew. Should something else have been added to this episode’s warning cloud? What question are we sending to the The Delta Flyers podcast? How deep is BLT’s well of I-told-you-so energy? It’s the episode made for FOBPs!

Process of Elimination (VOY S5E7) Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

When Seven is full of people who are really excited about improv class, Captain Janeway is willing to get risky to help her crew member escape the voices. But when Species 6339 didn’t develop a cure for their biological weapon, BLT is the only person actually helping shut down the infected vinculum. Which fruit has the highest floor and the lowest ceiling? What’s the secret to destroying a Borgs cube? Should we teach the Federation xenocide controversy? It’s the episode with opposite water problems!

Gary’s Glitter (VOY S5E6) Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

When Chakotay and Kim are the only survivors of a terrible math accident, they’re ready to go to extreme measures to set things right for Voyager. But when Captain La Forge shows up to stop their plan, survivors’ guilt leads to an all-in bet on changing history. Who is the fax machine of this episode? Has Garrett Wang won every single Star Trek prop auction? Did Harry kill someone for this mission? It’s the episode that predates the Christopher Nolanification of time travel!

The Meryl Streep of Ferns (VOY S5E5) Dec 26, 2022

Show notes

When an ion storm buries the Delta Flyer under 30 kilotons of poisonous rock, Samantha Wildman is seriously injured and no one remembered to bring emergency supplies. But with Neelix playing babysitter back on Voyager, his own familial trauma keeps him from being honest with Naomi. Why doesn’t fantasy look good inside of science fiction? Where did Naomi Wildman learn how to hate? When did the grassy self eulogy fall out of favor? It’s the episode that pulls out all the horticultural stops!

Crank Attack Koi (VOY S5E4) Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

When Chakotay lands a high-stakes date, he charms her all the way to a third location for intel on Species 42069. But even after some light desecration of Billy’s corpse on Voyager, Captain Janeway believes she can negotiate both peace and freedom with an old friend from Starfleet HQ. What is Boothby’s final frontier? Should Klingon martinis be served in distinctive glassware? Why isn’t there more guy talk in Star Trek? It’s the episode that imagines what goes on in the bathroom on Pon Farr night at the Vulcan nightclub!

Finishing Freighters (VOY S5E3) Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

When the crew races to complete Tom’s new hotrod shuttle, BLT is busy fighting her way through a bit of a bum out. But when her holodeck habits get put on blast, facing her losses is the only way to save the Delta Flyer. Could a food item turn Ben & Adam into the new Rush Limbaugh of podcasting? Which captain does Roxann Dawson share a costume with? What’s in the pipeline for Podshop.biz? It’s the episode that does bananas both ways!

Swiss Army Bathroom (Gremlins - Holiday Special) Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

When a bumbling inventor gives a live animal to his son as a present, obeying the strict rules for its care becomes a challenge. But when the town is overrun by the animal’s mutated progeny, it’ll take more than breaking the rules of flash photography to save the town from their mischievous wrath. Is Gremlins in the Back to the Future cinematic universe? Which film achieves "Peak Cates"? Is the provenance of Mrs Deagle’s ceramics evil? It’s the episode that chooses the fun path to death!

Tubules on the Collar (VOY S5E2) Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

When a transporter accident spawns a Borg fetus in Voyager’s science lab, Captain Janeway lets it gestate just to see how things turn out. But when One hits puberty ahead of schedule, his interest in the collective becomes a concern for Seven. Is it possible to over baffle? Has Mulchaey been living under a rock? Who has the butt for jodhpurs? It’s the episode driven mad by the tell-tale freestyle machine!

Complex Capitalist (VOY S5E1) Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

When Voyager is two months into traversing another space obstacle, the crew is struggling with the idea of two more years in the void. But when they meet a Captain Planet villain who offers them a shortcut, Captain Janeway weighs the vortex against her own need for redemption. What kind of person would marry a bit murderer? Were the Hirogen wrong about everything? What makes Janeway’s ready room classy? It’s the episode that never misses an issue of Kojak Fancy!
