Starring: Patrick Murray & Kat DrakeIn this jaw-dropping episode of Treknicity, Pat and Kat take on one of Star Trek: The Next Generation's most notorious misfires â Season 1, Episode 4: "Code of Honor." With raised eyebrows and open mics, the duo dives into the WTF of it all: the baffling racial undertones, the bizarre staging, and that unforgettable line delivery.Was this a bold cultural commentary gone horribly wrong, or just a relic of â80s TV gone off the rails? From Picardâs awkward diplomacy to Tasha Yar's judo showdown, Patrick and Kat break it all down with sharp wit and just the right amount of disbelief.đ¨ Warning: This episode contains eye rolls, facepalms, and genuine moments of âHow did this get made?âđ Buckle up, Starfleet. This one gets messy.
Dive into our full breakdown of the SeasonâŻ3 debut of Strange New Worlds, where we review the highâstakes âHegemony, PartâŻIIâ and its tonal flipâside âWedding Bell Bluesâ â and introduce the brilliant new voice joining our crew, Kat Drake!đš âHegemony, PartâŻIIâThe season opens with a pulseâpounding resolution to the tense Gorn cliffhanger from SeasonâŻ2. Captain Pike and the bridge crew race against time to rescue captured colonists and return the Gorn to hibernation using a gravityâwell gambit â balancing visceral horror, nerveâwracking action, and emotional stakes as Chapel and Spock work desperately to save Batel from a Gornâspawn infection. The episode showcases tight ensemble work and character growth, especially for Laâan and Ortegas under extreme duress, setting a gritty tone for the season ahead. đš âWedding Bell BluesâIn stark contrast, EpisodeâŻ2 jumps ahead three months to StarbaseâŻOne, where the Enterprise crew celebrates the Federationâs centennial â but Spockâs joy freezes when Chapel returns engaged to Dr. Korby. What follows is a whimsical, realityâwarping escapade orchestrated by a mischievous guest (RhysâŻDarby), with a cameo by JohnâŻdeâŻLancie confirming him as a scion of Q â canonâvalidating decadesâold fan theories. Itâs a româcomâmeetsâcosmicâchaos episode offering heartfelt character beats, comic relief, and deep dives into Spock and Chapelâs relationship dynamics. đď¸ Episode Format & Highlights:đ Tone Shift: We explore how Strange New Worlds swings from horrorâdrama to româcom fantasy in just one night, and whether the tonal whiplash works or disrupts the narrative flow. Gizmodođ Character Focus: Discussing how the premiere balances epic stakes with intimate character journeys â from Pike and Laâanâs courage to Spockâs romantic heartbreak.đ Legacy & Lore: Delving into the official TrelaneâQ connection revealed in âWedding Bell Blues,â and what it means for Trek canon continuity.âď¸ Pacing & Structure: Our take on pacing, emotional beats, and whether the threeâmonth timeâskip serves or undermines the story arcs.đ Introducing Kat Drake:Weâre thrilled to welcome Kat Drake as our new coâhost! A lifelongâŻTrek scholar and expert in characterâdriven storytelling, Kat brings fresh insights, lively banter, and a sharp analytical eye. From dissecting Spockâs emotional journey to spotlighting Chapelâs development â having Kat onboard takes our reviews to the next level. Welcome, Kat!Tune in for a spirited conversation about how Strange New Worlds balances its adventurous roots, deep character work, and bigâpicture lore â and be ready for great chemistry with our allânew duo: you, me, and Kat Drake.
