#253 – ‘Oasis’ Enterprise S1E20

Trip introduces an alien gal to ice cream and other people. Join your holographic hosts as they discuss similarities between this episode and “Shadowplay” from DS9, the unfulfilled promise of a haunted ship episode, and whether “feeding Doctor Phlox’s bat” is meant to be taken literally or metaphorically. We also discuss out favorite flavors of iced cream!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: Dan’s algorithm has selected a corker of an episode of Star Trek: Voyager to discuss next: “Parturition” – it’s a Neelix vs. Paris throwdown!

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.

#252 – ‘The Apple’ TOS S2E05

Four people die but everyone still gets in a good laugh at the end.

All this and so much more on this week’s wickedly funny episode of It’s Got Star Trek!

#251 – ‘Hard Time’ DS9 S4E19

Chief O’Brien is put in an awkward position. Join your horrified hosts as they discuss brilliant storytelling, amazing acting, and the value of humor in the context of trauma. We somehow manage to squeeze quite a lot of fun out of this intense and distressing DS9 classic!

It’s (Not) Star Trek #2 – It’s Got ALF

Willie is put in an awkward position. Join your cat-loving hosts as they take a brief break from Star Trek to discuss clever muppetry, upsetting freak-outs, and the kid with the strange hat.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of the pilot episode of ALF and spoil some other aspects of the show (including the series finale), so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

#250 – ‘Through the Valley of Shadows’ Discovery S2E12

Captain Pike is put in an awkward position. Join your time-crystal-crazy hosts and special guest Jesse from the Open Pike Night podcast as they discuss green herrings, Clem Fandangos, and the sexiest winter jacket this side of Rura Penthe. Also, Dan has a relatable story about a mid-level inconvenience.

#249 – ‘Rascals’ TNG S6E07

Miles is put in an awkward position. Join your pro-youthanization hosts as they discuss how good writing, solid performances, and vigorous suspension of disbelief can come together to elevate a completely silly premise. Also, Dan says the thing.

If you are a potential listener scanning episode descriptions trying to see which one you want to try, pick this one – if you don’t like this episode you won’t like anything else we’ve put out!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!
