#93 – ‘Mugato, Gumato’ Lower Decks S2E04

Rutherford and Boimler discover the intersection between diplomacy and animal husbandry. Join your Ferengi laser whip-wielding hosts as they discuss the the complexities of the Star Trek canon, Lower Decks’ continued habit of negating past over-homogenization of alien cultures, and the practical (if unfortunate) constraints on presenting carnal pleasures in all their animated glory.

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

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Lower Decks with Season 2, Episode 5!

Commander Ransom suffers from a God-complex while the Cerritos’ chief of security navigates love in a new environment.

#90 – ‘Time Squared’ TNG S2E13

Captain Picard is beside himself. Join your cross-eyed hosts as they discuss this episode’s unusual use of near-time time travel, learn about the original ending that retroactively resolves a lot of loose plot threads, and rage about Riker’s supposed skill at cooking. Also, though we talk primarily about “Time Squared” there is perhaps more than expected discussion about My Three Sons, Martin, Three’s Company, Donna Reed, Three’s a Crowd, Babylon Five, The Ropers, Farscape, Deep Space Nine, Everybody Hates Chris, Enterprise, Mister Ed, and Star Trek: The Original Series.

#89 – ‘The Escape Artist’ & ‘Ephraim and Dot’ Short Treks

Harry Mudd tangles with a terse Tellarite while Ephraim and Dot take the audience on a tour of TOS’s greatest hits! Join your Jipper-loving hosts as they discuss the importance of making room for humor in Star Trek, the clever way that ‘Ephraim and Dot’ combines nostalgic Easter eggs with modern Trek staples, and Dan’s elucidation of Mudd’s 17-step process for escaping captors.

Doctor Phlox goes on a date – with two species’ destiny! Join your narration-of-a-letter-as-a-literary-device-loving hosts as they discuss the grounded complexity of this episode’s philosophical dilemma, debate the potential reasons why personal communications are seemingly routed through Ensign Sato, and argue over the particulars of Denobulan mating practices.
