We have Federation officials and klingons who like to quibble, but they ain’t no trouble like the trouble with tribbles, maman! We’re heading to Deep Space Station K7 to have a drink with Cyrano Jones and review the hallowed, well-loved classic, Star Trek 2x13, “The Trouble With Tribbles”! They're born pregnant, maman!

Show off those guns, bare that midriff and break out your most hipsterish beard wax to give that goatee the shine it deserves, maman. We’re taking a look at the iconic, oft-imitated, perpetually satired but universally beloved parallel universe paragon, “Mirror, Mirror”! It's a wild ride on the agonizer, maman!

We talk Changelings, a possible Species 8472 return, and a few very spoilery surprises from Picard 3x05, "Imposters"... We also talk a few pieces of feedback. We were very shook this episode, maman. Right down to our Stafleet-issue undies.

This episode we're talking about some interesting Trek tidbits from Picard showrunner Terry Matalas and catching up on listener feedback as well as proffering theories for the future of Star Trek: Picard and Discovery! It was supposed to be a short episode, but it wound up being a big one! Who could have guessed?

We review Star Trek: Picard 3x04, "No Win Scenario" -- It's a real pickle, maman. There are apologies to be made and Shrikes to evade. Jellyfish to birth and nary a moment for mirth. Edge of your seat, maman. Thank the Great Bird of the Galaxy for that holodeck...

Picard 3x02 - "Disengage" Review or All Trek Captains Are Deadbeat Parents

Tensions are high as Dave and Matt disagree on several quibbles Dave has with this episode, but both of them enjoyed it, so it's up to Stu to write in and decide who was right. It's a real nail-biter, maman. Time to go hide in a conveniently-placed nebula...

Picard is back, and he's bringing some old friends, maman. We're talking all about our first thoughts on the first episode of Star Trek: Picard, "The Next Generation", though if we're being honest, it feels a whole lot like Wrath of Khan, Part 2... We're digging where the story is going, and how boldly it goes, even if we have questions about how likely it is a ship can be refit enough to change class...

Time to talk about "Supernova" parts 1 and 2, maman. Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 was a banger. Got me in my feels.

Tryin' to catch up, maman. Prodigy 1x17 (Ghost in the Machine) and 1x18 (Mindwalk) this time.

Settle in for backstories, maman. There's no time like the present, but for now we'll wallow in the past.

We're talking Star Trek: Lower Decks 5x03 - "The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel", maman! Mariner and Jennifer finally get closure! Boimler is thrown into danger for being wiry! Tendi is excited to be back to scanning! Apocalypse later (because the future)! It's honestly not a ton to talk about, maman, but there are more space fissures!

Picard season 3's gonna be a sequel to TNG, DS9 and VOY. That's a lot of promises, maman. Dominion War fallout? Characters from all three series? The ganglia be tweaked.

We're also reviewing Star Trek: Prodigy 1x15, "Masquerade", discussing TNG's "The Outrageous Okona" and answering listener feedback. It's a big one. Lots of talking, maman.

Janeway catches up with the crew of the Protostar while the audience catches up with Okona. Both were all-too-brief. But we'll get there, maman. We'll get there.

This week's review - Star Trek: Prodigy 1x14, "Crossroads"

Deep cuts in this one, maman. Time to find out what happened to one of the red shirts from TOS... I love these kinds of episodes... they're a real, ahem, obsession.

Star Trek: Prodigy 1x13 - "All the World's a Stage" review

Review: Star Trek: Prodigy 1x11, "Asylum" and 1x12, "Let Sleeping Borg Lie"

Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3 is over! How'd we like the finale? We have thoughts! Mostly good. Plus, more stellar listener feedback from Stu, continuing the saga of Dave's alter.

Mariner gets a one-way ticket to Starbase 80. Must've done something bad. Totally wasn't everyone else.

We're talking Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x09 - "Trusted Sources"

Quickly! Read my saggy skin! Then listen to our review of Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x08 - "Crisis Point II: Paradoxus"! We had a good time! We hope you did too!

NYCC '22 brought us news and trailers for Picard season 3, Discovery season 5, Prodigy season 1.5 and hints of a live-action Janeway project! We talk about all that and review the latest episode of Lower Decks, 3x07!

Deep Space Nine is back! This episode we're talking about Lower Decks 3x06 - "Hear All, Trust Nothing"

We're starting with the man in the mirror. We're asking him to change his ways.


Review for Star Trek: Lower Decks 3x05, "Reflections"

It's a fresh beginning for the end of a beloved series, maman! A cosmic fissure leaves the crew of the Cerritos in a position of crappy self-reflection as they're forced to face the paths they could have taken in 5x01, "Dos Cerritos" -- Then, in 5x02, "Shades of Green", our crew is still reeling from what they know of their counterparts while Tendi reels from the consequences of making the blue orions canon! It's a fine how-do-ya-don't, maman!

Reviewing Lower Decks 3x04, "Room for Growth"!

We're playing catch-up and reviewing the first three episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks season 3: "Grounded", "The Least Dangerous Game", and "Mining The Mind's Mines"!

We're getting into the Star Trek Day trailers and news in this episode, from Star Trek: Picard to Lower Decks, Prodigy, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Khan: Ceti Alpha V, and Online! We have trailers, clips, and all sorts of little tidbits including release dates!

We say goodbye to Nichelle Nichols and discuss more news from SDCC and beyond!

It's part one of our SDCC news coverage for Star Trek: Picard season 3, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and Discovery!

Today Dave interviews Christianna Traynor, a 29 year-old who has just finished watching Star Trek The Original Series and Animated Series for the first time! She'll be fielding questions from the host and the listeners about her favorite characters and episodes, her thoughts on the diversity of the series and its use of allegory as well as drawing comparisons with the J.J. Abrams films which was her first introduction to the world of Trek!

It's back to the past future to save the further past future from delta pattern maroon monsters and millions of lives lost! Was M'Benga's daughter right? Can we re-write the ending?

Our review of Strange New Worlds 1x09, "All Those Who Wander" and listener feedback catch-up!

Got some wacky fairy tale doo-doo this time, kids. We're reviewing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x08, "The Elysian Kingdom".

So who else has a massive crush on Chapel? We're talking Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x07, "The Serene Squall", and we don't really agree on a lot this time around, but we have fun anyway.

An apple a day keeps the serpent at bay, maman! Kirk continues his mission to kill gods and disrupt paradise while we continue our watch/rewatch of classic Star Trek! Stop picking at my Vaal wire, maman. It's not another piercing!

Dave didn't understand it for a minute, y'all. Dave got fooled by the red herrings. He'll never live this one down, y'all. But talk about stakes! This time we're talking about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x06, "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach". And it's a dark one.

Welp. Spock's katra is a bit misplaced in this one... this time we're talking about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x05, "Spock Amok", and we have us some classic body swap hijinks to get into.

Tether your brown dwarf to our black hole, kids. We're diggin' into Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x04, "Memento Mori" on this one. It's an good old-fashioned submarine battle, and Pike might be immortal for the next ten years, but his crew aren't... Grab your tissues, maman.

Secrets come to light. And so do the crew members for that matter. Is it the bee's knees though? More like the moth's wings.

Ready a sedative for the hypospray and pray to your comet god, kids. It's a jaunt with fate on this one.

We're talking Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x02, "Children of the Comet"

Even gods have favorites, Maman. Leave your skeleton keys and hug your Q goodbye. Time to dip, Maman.

We're talking about Star Trek: Picard 2x10, "Farewell".

This one should have been called "Familiar Old Worlds". But one of us liked it a lot at least.

We got a little behind, but we talked about Picard 2x08, "Mercy" and 2x09, "Hide and Seek" in this one. We're unlocking the door, maman. A lantern isn't the only thing hanging in this one, maman.

We're going inside the mind of Picard! What mysteries shall be uncovered!? What ears shall be recovered!? It's scary. I want my maman...

Hey, time to talk about "Two of One", episode 2x06 of Star Trek: Picard!

We’re going where NOMAD’S gone before, maman! Cause we're gonna rub nubs with Nomad, a carbon unit-nullifying nuts-and-bolts type. Be careful, maman -- the utopia-seeking, string riding robots might erase your memory for the length of an episode. And then you'll have to listen all over again!
