It's finally over.  Is this an over indulgent finale?  Does the fan service hold up?  We think it's worth your time to indulge in 90s nostaligia, of Canadian sketch comedy and Star Trek alike. Mostly Star Trek, if we're being honest.   Hard talk about whether the finale of Star Trek Picard held up.     Plus Rod Torfulson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck (We're gonna make it).

The Can't Picardly Waiting Is Over (Picard S3E09-10)

Only two more episodes left, and we're podcasting on the edge of release.  We don't know what the deal is with Jack Crusher, but maybe you've watched episode nine and know. Whole lot to go over in this one.  Also, we're filthy. Be happy with the what got cut.

Can't Picardly, Waiting on the Edge (Picard S3E07-08)

Regrets. I've had a few. Has Picard? We watched two episode of a Star Trek show and had positive and negative reactions. What kind of references worked well and which felt unsatisfying? Can a viewer who knows nothing about Trek have an emotional reaction to a callback to a show from 30 years ago? Turns out it's all in how you use it. [*editors note: Horatio Hornblower. He knows]

Imposters on the Bounty (Picard S3E05-06)

Have the wrongs of the past been repaired?  What is this about a Dominion War? How does technobabble supplement melodrama? Wade is too excited for all the ways the show has fixed his problems.  Glen is still reeling from the pain of what's come before and is not quite ready to trust again.  Sean is down for it.

Is this one of the best season enders of Star Trek?  Does episodic tv have something to teach all those overly serialized prestige dramas?

Star Trek Resignation

A rescue is launched into the mycelial network and more than just Tilly gets pulled out. This week we're joined by another friend of the podcast, Kristin Mueller-Heaslip, "Kristin from Toronto" herself.   Glen watched Season 1, leaving Sean as the clueless one.  How did we feel about this episode?  What was fantastic, what was great, and what wasn’t?  Did it hold up to repeated viewings?  What is  “Saints of Imperfection” a reference to?  Did this sufficiently fix an error made in season 1, or was it a story they had in their back pocket all along?  Are the canon inconsistencies a problem for the show?  A thesis of Star Trek Discovery?  Is Enterprise the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan of Star Trek series?

Discovery Season 2: Predictions and Fears

The Prediction is hope. Listen to some community testimony on The Past is Prologue.   Judging from your calls, this week's episode of Star Trek Discovery left a lot of folks deflated, unsure of where we've been and where the show might take us going forward. James received the revelation of The Prediction in the hopes that the end of the first season of Discovery might clean up the mess it's made. What do you think? Is The Prediction hogwash? Heretical? Unneeded?

Rad Angel (Discovery S2E10)

A new "Short Trek" episode, "Runaway" has dropped, a fifteen minute speck to fill the Star Trek void sucking away subscribers from CBS All Access until Discovery returns in 2019.  Yet, James and Hugh have run away from A Discovery Home Companion, demanding a ransom before they return. But! There is still new Star Trek to complain about! What to do? To fill the podcasting void Wade talks Runaways with his brother -and for certain a real person- Lane Bowen. For longer than the length of the short they complain about all the tropes that "Runaway" stumbles through before talking about some other Star Trek announcements, such as the Picard and new animated shows.

Back in the Prime and feeling... fine?   Maybe not?  We're having a war within ourselves.  What do you do with a space Hitler? Just how far should Federation ideals take a person in their personal interactions?  Is The Prediction in danger? Was James too hard on the Tilly/Ash scene? Was the breakup scene that awful? Let us know what you think! 917 408 3898

The War Without, the War Within

With Discovery fading into the past, and flying into the future, we ask important questions such as: What kind of drug is each Star Trek series, and what was it like to binge all of Season 2 of Star Trek Discovery within a convenient trial size period of time? Wade is once again joined by two guest companions. This time it's journalist Ryan Britt (@ryancbritt on twitter), and an entirely new voice to Disco Home Season 2, Adam P. Newton (@dryvetyme).
