#37 – ‘Second Contact’ Lower Decks Pilot

We are introduced to four junior officers on the U.S.S. Cerritos. Join your Trek-thirsty hosts as they slurp their way through a new ship, a new crew, and a whole new style of storytelling in ‘Second Contact’ – the pilot episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Special Note: In deference to our international listeners who do not yet have above-board access to Lower Decks, we will avoid overt spoilers on our social media feeds and will begin each episode of the podcast with our spoiler-free reactions before digging into the fleshy meat of the story.

Next week: We join the ensigns as they presumably encounter some shenanigans in ‘Envoys’ – the second episode of Lower Decks’ first season.

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.

#36 – The Most (and Least) Funny Attempts at Humor in Star Trek

Join your jocular hosts as they discuss audience nominations for the most and least funny attempts at humor in the Star Trek franchise. Beware some mild spoilers for the Original Series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Short Treks, and Picard! Thanks to everyone who sent in their thoughts, except for the one racist fellow (pro-tip: if you have to state “I’m not racist” then you may be a racist).

Next week: We embark on a ten week stint covering Star Trek: Lower Decks!

#35 – ‘One of Our Planets Is Missing’ & ‘The Lorelei Signal’ TAS S1E03 & 04

Spock chats with a cloud and Uhura saves the day. Join your cartoonish hosts as they revel in the camp and creativity of the first animated Trek series, discuss the pluses and minuses of the animated format, and analyze the struggle between feminist and patriarchal messaging in old school Trek.

Next week: In preparation for our coverage of Lower Decks, we will be discussing the use of humor (successful and otherwise) in the Star Trek franchise. Contribute to our discussion by sending in your favorite and least favorite moments where Trek tried to be funny!

#34 – ‘Phantasms’ TNG S7E06

Data saves the day by stabbing Troi. Join your dreamy hosts as they debate the merits of Freudian psychoanalysis, discuss Patrick Stewart’s deft direction, and try to guess the flavor of cellular peptide cake (with mint frosting).

Next week: Kirk and crew encounter scary clouds and even scarier women in ‘One of Our Planets Is Missing’ and ‘The Lorelei Signal’ – the third and fourth episodes of Star Trek: The The Animated Series’ first season.

#33 – ‘Wink of an Eye’ TOS S3E11

A fast lass covets Kirk’s “space seed” while Spock saves the day with a little inspiration from Dark Helmet. Join your easily-confused hosts as they discuss the threshold for immoral action when your entire species is in danger, lament the general slip in writing-quality during TOS’ third season, and inquire as to precisely how long Kirk spent hanging out with Deela in his quarters.

Next week: Data is having some trouble sleeping and Worf gets excited for cake in ‘Phantasms’ – the sixth episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s seventh season.

#32 – ‘Desert Crossing’ Enterprise S1E24

Archer teaches Trip the importance of full bellies and sweaty backs when navigating novel foreign policy scenarios. Join your mildly-aroused hosts as they discuss the seeds of the Prime Directive, the dicey nature of first contact with divided societies, and how far we’ve advanced over the past 18 years of Western society with regard to the consumption of testicles.

Next week: We join Captain Kirk and crew as they fight off being used as breeding stock for a zippy race of accelerated aliens in ‘Wink of an Eye’ – the 11th episode of Star Trek: The Original Series’ third season.
