Episode 195: Lower Decks’ 'Crisis Point' Review, Plus 'Family' Turns 30!

Episode 195: Lower Decks’ “Crisis Point” Review, Plus “Family” Turns 30! "Crisis Point" is Lower Decks' version of Star Trek VI porn which is very much our jam. Every Trek feature film iteration gets skewered in this deceptively poignant homage to the franchise's big screen legacy, and… oh, just listen to us gush about it in our review.

Episode 193: Star Trek: Lower Decks Premiere Review

We're back with our review of the Star Trek: Lower Decks pilot, the first animated series set in the Final Frontier since Star Trek: The Animated Series signed off 46 years ago in 1974. So what did we think? Listen and find out. (Spoiler: No, a Star Trek cartoon in this year of 2020 does not "kill" or hurt the franchise, he said to all the angry adults on social claiming otherwise.)
