Star Trek: Discovery | Season 5 Episode 9 "LaGrange Point"

Season 14 · Episode 9

Sunday, June 9, 2024 • Duration 27:27

A race to find the progenitor's tech between Discover and the newly minted Moll's Dreadnaught. DiSCO gets there about a moment before Moll, only to spend a few minutes indulging in wonder get scooped by the Breen.

While Michael, Book, Adira, and Rhys go undercover to get the progenitor's "structure", folks back at Fed HQ are concern because Primarch Tahal (a different Breen overlord) is steaming for the same location to absorb Ruhn's former soldiers into her squad as the Breen prepare for a possible civil war. The Federation and the Breen; DISCO and Moll et al -- and we torn between (at a lagrange point of sorts) wondering what will befall the galaxy!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 10 ”Hegemony”

Season 13 · Episode 10

Monday, August 14, 2023 • Duration 35:48

It is the finale. It is a Gorn attack. It is Captain Marie Betel down on a planet with 5000 colonists and the USS Cayuga blown to bits in orbit (save a healthy chunk of saucer section and a single survivor). It is the Gorn drawing a demarcation line in space and getting ready to feed. And: it is Pike et al to the rescue (sorta)! At least, there's tactical gear and there are phase rifles and there is a death-defying flight down to the planet (her name is Erica Ortegas -- and she flies the ship).

We'll make some *new* friends and meet some *old* enemies (and there will be some pew-pews and some boom-bangs) but all's well that en-- Wait. What? How does it end? A CLIFFHANGER?!?!?! Oh, for the love of Khaless.

Star Trek: Lower Decks | Season 1 Episode 2 ”Envoys”

Season 5 · Episode 2

Monday, May 17, 2021 • Duration 25:24

Ensign Boimler is SUPER excited to be shuttling a Klingon ambassador down to the surface but Mariner crashes the party. She and General K'orin drink too much bloodwine and the ambassador passes out... then he steals the shuttle and goes joy-riding around the Klingon district wreaking havoc. As they pursue K'orin, Mariner proves herself quite the Starfleet officer, constantly getting poor Brad Boimler out of dangerous trouble – except when she almost gets them kidnapped by a Ferengi?! Meanwhile, Rutherford is trying out all the different color uniforms on the Cerritos. With spectacular results. #Smourgasborg

Star Trek: Lower Decks | Season 1 Episode 1 ”Second Contact”

Season 5 · Episode 1

Monday, May 10, 2021 • Duration 31:56

Welcome aboard the USS Cerritos (small hills?!), listeners! Meet ensigns Boimler (nervous goody-two-shoes), Mariner (bad-ass rebel and rule-breaker), Tendi (hyper enthusiastic science officer), and Rutherford (innocent, newly-cybernetic engineer) – our plucky heroes. Don't worry about the command staff on the bridge, we're plumbing the depths of this starship – where the real action is! Namely, picking up after the higher-ups and trying to not to die. In this pilot episode, the crew of the ship is infected with some sort of rage virus causing them to try to kill and eat each other; Tendi holds a man's heart on her first day working in sickbay, Rutherford has a date with a trill, and Boimler and Mariner fight a giant (and, as it turns out, non-carniverous) spider during a "second contact" mission. It's good clean fun. Join us on May 16th for our patrons-only Netflix watch party by becoming a patron for as little as $2! http://patreon.com/setphasers

Star Trek: Picard | Season 1 Episode 10 ”Et in Arcadia Ego” Part 2

Season 4 · Episode 10

Monday, April 26, 2021 • Duration 45:40

The stage is set, the players are ready, and the Romulans are about to show up and destroy EVERYTHING. So much happens in this season one finale of Picard that it is hard to even summarize it. There's tears and laughter, dogfights in space, the hatching of plans, the dashing of hopes. Soji builds an antennae, Jurati shows some serious backbone, Rios and Raffi make bets, Seven settles a score, and Elnor – sweet Elnor – he weeps when it is appropriate. Picard, well. He confronts the "ego" that is "en Arcadia" and he does not look away. Also, Data! Don't forget about the merch!! You can buy your Set Phasers merch as mentioned in the episode right here: https://www.zazzle.com/store/set_phasers_podcast

Star Trek: Picard | Season 1 Episode 9 ”Et in Arcadia Ego”

Season 4 · Episode 9

Monday, April 19, 2021 • Duration 46:56

The crew of La Sirena arrives in orbit at Soji home planet; they fight Narek; Seven of Nine shows up with a borg cube. Then giant orchids fly up from the planet's surface and knock all three ships out of space. Once there, the race is on. The Romulan fleet is still on its way to eradicate the synths! Picard et al find Soji's people and, at first ,it does seem like an idyllic little paradise. There are synthetic lifeforms like Soji, and one of her creators (yet another Soong!) is there. But after one of the synths, Sutra, does a mind-meld with Dr. Jurati and sees "The Admonition" in a whole new light – well, things get complicated... and we get left holding a big, fat "to be continued."

Star Trek: Picard | Season 1 Episode 8 ”Broken Pieces”

Season 4 · Episode 8

Monday, April 12, 2021 • Duration 42:14

Picard, S1, E8. And they don’t call it “Broken Pieces” for nothing! EVERYBODY is broken in the episode. We learn the tortured, mind-breaking origins of the Zhat Vash (and why they are dead set on destroying all synthetic life) and we learn that Soji and Rios have met before – but they were different people then. Soji, literally, and Rios, figuratively. Speaking of Rios, we also *finally* gather all of his holographic versions in one room and find out what exactly has got him so existentially angsty. Jurati wakes from her coma and explains herself. And Raffi - dear, sweet Raffi – sees the matrix and identifies all the parts and puts it all together and knows what is coming next.

Also, Soji takes over the ship and steers the crew into the Borg trans-warp network and Seven shows up on the Artifact to kick ass and chew bubblegum… and she’s all out of bubblegum.

Star Trek: Picard | Season 1 Episode 7 ”Nepenthe”

Season 4 · Episode 7

Monday, April 5, 2021 • Duration 38:32

It's Episode 7 of Picard. When last we left off, Picard and Soji basically stepped through a weird energy-window in a Borg Queen's bedroom suite and we headed to a planet called Nepenthe. What's on Nepenthe, you ask? Why, Will Riker and Deanna Troi, of course. And their daughter Kestra - and the memories of the deceased son, Thaddeus.

Troi scolds Picard into getting his head on straight, Riker makes pizza and listens to jazz. Soji confronts her memories and identity and human-ness... or lack thereof?! Friends are made, stories are told, plans are hatched! There is just enough delightful hugging. Oh yeah. Meanwhile, Rios and Raffi are trying to out-run Narek and get to Picard in time to head on to Soji's homeworld and the secret behind everything. It's possible Dr. Jurati *knows* the secret behind everything, be she is also the traitor! so she eats cake, cries, vomits, and then puts herself in a coma. Just another day about La Sirena, the fate of the galaxy in their hands! Join us April 11th for our monthly Patrons-only Netflix watch party where we will watch a TNG episode where Troi takes the con! Head to https://patreon.com/setphasers

Star Trek: Picard | Season 1 Episode 6 ”The Impossible Box”

Season 4 · Episode 6

Monday, March 29, 2021 • Duration 34:56

Things are really heating up on Picard. After the *mysterious* death of Bruce Maddox – the man who could have answered all the questions – Picard et al set a course for Soji and the Artifact, the only thing Bruce was able to tell them before he "died."

Meanwhile, Soji and Narek are growing closer as Soji plumbs the depths of existentialism and Narek tries to steal her secrets. Raffi is drunk, Elnor is earnest, Jurati and Rios do the nasty after soccer practice, and Picard will once again set foot on a Borg cube. But will he get there in time to save Soji before she ends up quite dead?

Gosh, we hope so, we want more episodes!
