| NST: DS9 - Cardassians - Season 2, Episode 5 | 09 Sep 2025 | 01:51:36 | |
Cardassians! The most generic title of any Star Trek episode ever? Seriously, what would you guess that this episode would be about from a title like "Cardassians"? If you guessed a child custody battle between a Bajoran stepfather and a Cardassian politican over the politician's biological son combined with a romping adventure with Julian and Garak, then you're a filthy cheater who's already seen the episode before.

| NST: TNG - In Theory (feat. Scott!) - Season 4, Episode 25 | 04 Apr 2023 | 02:07:40 | |
In Theory! Scott re-joins us for another Data-centric episode! This time, Data delves into the deep matters of love, courtship, romance, and relationships, and so do we! Such a deep episode tends to elicit such deep discussions. Also, there's some sort of dark matter wrecking up the place, and Picard has to drive a shuttlecraft by himself for some reason? Tune in to find out why!

| NST: TNG - A Klingon Challenge | 01 Apr 2023 | 01:12:51 | |
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?

The Mind's Eye! Geordi's sexy trip to Risa gets interrupted when some sinister Romulans capture him and turn him into a Manchurian candidate! Will Data be able to figure out the sinister plot in time? Will the backstabbing Klingon ambassador get found out? Will Sara continue to be triggered by exposed crotches? Tune in to find out!

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!

| NST: TNG - Half a Life - Season 4, Episode 22 | 07 Mar 2023 | 01:41:52 | |
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!

| NST: TNG - The Drumhead - Season 4, Episode 21 | 28 Feb 2023 | 01:21:51 | |
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!

Wait, what, Q is back? And he's starting a love triangle of some sort?! Oh boy, this is gonna get complicated!

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!

Gambit, Part II! Now that the jig is up and the show finally admits that Picard is alive, let's get back down to business, which is watching space pirate carry out a Cannon movies-esque super weapon heist while the Enterprise kinda follows long and basketball player James Worthy towers over Worf. Yup. Back to basics.

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!

But what started as a usual episode recap turned into discussions about political power, proof of aliens, religion, the Cold War, even random mathematical concepts like fast Fourier transforms!

I dunno, but we'll at least definitely get some weird marriage moments between Miles and Keiko, who apparently are just meeting each other for the first time! What a story, Miles!

| NST: TNG - Data's Day (feat. Jasmin!) - Season 4, Episode 11 | 18 Oct 2022 | 01:39:49 | |
Data's Day! Boy, we went on a TON of tangents this week! But in our defense, it was a while since we'd recorded, and Data's Day itself is full of tangents! There's tap dancing, a baby birthing, some barbershop banter, some gift shopping, but I don't care about what Romulans betrayed what Federation ambassadors, I'm here to save a wedding! Also, Jasmin's back to discuss her favorite TNG character with us! Hooray!

The Loss! Will we actually get a nice Deanna Troi-centric episode for once? Can a small idea be well-written and stretched out as a character story? Will the A story be dramatically overshadowed in terms of importance by the B story? The answers probably won't surprise you! Or will they?! Let's see how we can spin an hour-long yarn out of nothing!

Final Mission! *insert Poochy joke here* Unfortunately, the producers of TNG weren't treating Wil Wheaton very well, so he decided to leave. But hey, at least it was a much better send-off than for Denise Crosby! But were the emotional highs earned? And why is Riker spending so much time dealing with a garbage barge? Oh, because it's radioactive, fair enough.

Nightmare on Elm Street/Inception references! They were trying to be perfect men in an imperfect time! Oh wait no, that's a weird random Dark Knight reference. Where were we? Mac and Me? Uh, tune in to find out!

Will the Klingon Empire survive the next election? Will Picard be able to put up with all of it? And what about that Donald Trump Jr. guy, are we finally going to deal with him or what? Also, GOWRON!

Who can blame them, with that haircut and jumpsuit? Though she's definitely cribbing the whole Sarah Connor look. But hey, let's see how this inevitable betrayal eventual plays out!

But in all seriousness, an actually really great script and great performance by Gates McFadden that's completely ruined by the reintroduction of the Traveler and Star Wars-style mystical BS! A spirited discussion this shall be!

Brothers! Data goes nuts and decides to hijack the Enterprise! Why? Maybe it's so he can find his brother? Surely the episode title didn't give it away! Also, watch as Brent Spiner does the Austin Powers/Klumps shtick before Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy ever did! Dan also informs me that he wanted to compare Lore meeting Noonien Soong to when Will Smith met his father again in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he forgot to mention it during the podcast recording, so here we are in the podcast description instead. Also, we have a special retrospective to celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, but that's not really related to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at all.

Family! Wow, a ton of stuff happened in Best of Both Worlds, eh? Some mind control, some countless loss of life, tons of explosions, and I'm sure Picard came through all of it totally okay without any trauma at all. So this episode is just a long pleasant trip back home where he sips some wine and gets into sexy mud wrestling fights with his grumpy brother. Also, Worf is still butt-hurt over his honor, and I guess also we find out what Wesley's dad looks like. Also, it turns out Wesley Crusher comes from a long line of criminal Crushers, so that all fits.

The episode that is widely considered the best season finale of any Star Trek show and firmly put TNG on the map in mainstream Americans' eyes, but does it stand up to scrutiny by the Newbie Star Trek panel?! Scott joins us once again as he guides our hips through the re-emergence of the Borg, potential cast replacements, a cliffhanger that shocked America, and Patrick Stewart's sexy half-Batsuit onesie!

Transfigurations! Is this episode a Jesus metaphor? Or is it an X-Men metaphor? Or, as Dan forgot to mention on the podcast and thus we're mentioning it here, a Digimon metaphor? We dunno, but at the very least it's a camel toe exhibition. Also, Geordi's arc is that he becomes a lady's man and then pretty much just stays that way. Wow! All's well that ends well!

Gambit, Part I! Gene Roddenberry wouldn't allow space pirates in Star Trek, but now he's DEAD. It turns out, space pirate stories are a ton of fun and TNG probably should've done it a while ago. So Picard's murdered, Riker has to solve his mystery, he gets captured by Richard Lynch, and Data ends up acting captain, doing the Mr. Burns fingers. Oh and Picard un-dies. Also, Star Wars vibes again! Wow~!

Ménage à Troi! Surprisingly, the episode isn't about a three-way. Instead, it's about Deanna's mom being an overbearing jerk, Ferengis committing multiple acts of sexual assault, Wesley's white privilege, and Patrick Stewart revisiting his Shakespearean roots. Unless, that's actually what three-ways are really all about? We've never been in one, so we wouldn't know.

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!

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.

| NST: TNG - Sins of the Father - Season 3, Episode 17 | 22 Mar 2022 | 01:24:05 | |
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!

| NST: TNG - The Offspring - Season 3, Episode 16 | 15 Mar 2022 | 01:56:01 | |
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!

The Siege! Not Under Siege, but also kind of like Under Siege? Also kind of like Star Wars! Also, combat rations instead of French onion soup! Boy, there's a lot going on in this episode.

| NST: TNG - Yesterday's Enterprise (feat. Scott!) - Season 3, Episode 15 | 08 Mar 2022 | 02:07:42 | |
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?

| NST Commentary Track: TNG - Yesterday's Enterprise - Season 3, Episode 15 | 05 Mar 2022 | 00:50:23 | |
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.
