Star Trek Resignation

Resign yourself to Trek. Resistance is futile. Everybody's got an opinion, sure, but who has the "correct" one? We do. It's us. The only Star Trek podcast in existence. Can you even? Trust us, we're right. Every time. You disagree? Wait that can't be true...

A Discovery Home Companion: Finale Party (Discovery S5E10)

A Home Inferno Disco Companion: The Best Friend Experience (Discovery S5E08-09)

Put the money on the table, sugar. We're talking Star Trek to you.  Specifically, Labyrinths and Lagrange Point.  Generally, we may talk about what this show has done and what it's forgotten to do.  Wade has some predictions about the finale, which you've probably watched already. Do they make him sound like a dummy?  https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

A Disco Companion Home: Sandwiches (Discovery S5E06-07)

Two Episodes, two very different tastes. Sometimes you get what you asked for, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Sometimes you don't expect to like something and yet you do.  Because its well crafted. Why was the mofongo good? https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Under the Bridge: Horned Up Aliens and 90s TV (Star Trek Lower Decks S4E05, S4E06)

We've got betazoids! We got Ferengi! There's some DS9 in here. Remember the quintessential 90s HBO rauchy sitcom Dream on? We like these episodes.   https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Star Trek: Lower Decks is back and so are we to talk about the first two episodes of Season 4: Twovix and I have No Bones and I Must Flee.

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

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).

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

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.

Imposters on the Bounty (Picard S3E05-06)

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]

I Can Wait I Can't Picardly Wait (Picard S3E03-04)

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.

A Disco Home Companion to Season 4

We didn't have constitution or class to talk about every espisode of Star Trek Discovery season 4, but we have to come clean on how our feelings have changed.  For those who disagreed with us in the past ... you're welcome. SqueeCore is discussed. Here's the source to hear where the "controversy" in SFF began over at RiteGud (https://kittysneezes.com/a-guide-to-squeecore/)

Under the Bridge: Over the Moons (Lower Decks S2E09-10)

Is this one of the best season enders of Star Trek?  Does episodic tv have something to teach all those overly serialized prestige dramas? "wej Duj" and "First First Contact" show that the show can do more than just reference comedy.   So we talk all about those, as well as... We are so mad at Glen for not watching Cheers Federation News Service Alert about the Ferengi. U mad bro?  What does the future hold for Star Trek Resignation?  https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Under the Bridge: Winger Bingston Revealed (Lower Decks S2E07-08)

Wade, Glen and Sean are back to cover "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie" and "I, Excretus" You may be here for the Star Trek nerdery, we go all comedy nerd to point out comedian cameos. Status Report is DEAD. What will replace it?  Speaking of things dying… Hey watch Review why doncha?
