When the Entrepreneur is six weeks into the expanse, the Captain’s only lead is an unscrupulous foreman with a Xindi miner. But when Archer and Trip get trapped with the prisoner, their sewer-based escape ends tragically at a set of useless coordinates that push them deeper into the expanse.

"The Comic Sans typeface is the cockroach of fonts"
Ice cream truck went by while I was listening and I had a moment of "why is someone blasting the Kevin Uxbridge song?" This show has broken my brain
I am digging this whole thing!!!🥒
I had to check out courthousebook. com , and the photos are amazing, but the little hand drawn routes map at the bottom is what made me laugh
Every episode so far confirms I made the right decision to stop watching Enterprise after episode 1. I'm having a much better time from their synopses
"no glove, no love"
"It's a nubbin"
This is the episode that reminds us that Donatello does machines.
Such a great song!
This is the episode where Ben & Adam predict the Borg Syndrome Plotline from Picard Season 3.
This is the episode where Ben & Adam predict Star Trek: Picard's use of Soong Technology. #greatestgen
"The only way out is through." 💯
I admire that guy. I'm disabled and have struggled to find places to go to the bathroom in areas where they're legally required to have publicly accessible bathrooms, even for people who aren't disabled. I had to hobble over 2 miles with a cane and digestive disorder, checking every restaurant, ready to buy something just to be able to go, before I found one.
The John Hodgman drop made me so happy 🤩
Wait... didn't Adam double his drinks last time to make up for skipping one?
What's the URL of the hanging device?
One of my number one DS9 episodes, with a shockingly relevant message about genetic engineering and the neurodivergent. Also character development for Rom.
Ben and Adam have nothing to be embarrassed about, it's a great Trek podcast.
I'm far from a real Star Trek nerd but, I love ST: TNG and as a fan of ST, I wonder how 2 ST nerds such as yourselves can be embarassed to have a ST podcast! I think it's awesome! I have listened to the first 2 episodes and I am very entertained!
TBH I'm glad this show is winding up the DS9 series now. I dont think I can stand another series of Ben and Adam's hot takes on Voyager. They were funny but it's the same tired old schtick all the time now, especially after the whole Bean Dad fiasco. Catering to the woke crowd. I see no reason to keep subscribing because I already know they will spend next seven series harping on about how progressive they are, especially when The Delta Flyers have already beaten them to the punch by two whole series and they have the actual actors doing the podcast.
