218. Star Trek 4: The Never-Ending Voyage

With Star Trek: Picard bringing back Q for the first time in 21 years, we revisit his last TV appearance: Star Trek: Voyager's "Q2." We also offer our two cents on the news that Chris Pine's Kirk and the crew of the Kelvin Timeline Enterprise are coming back (Hopefully? Maybe?) in Star Trek 4, while wishing the new Star Trek: Prodigy toys only cost two cents (zing). Another Replimat trip and Red Shirt (er, Yellow Shirt) are also in store, so don't. Provoke. The. Borg!

215. Unfrozen Caveman Business Guy (and Friends)

Before we beam into 2022, we wrap up 2021 with a deep-dive into "The Neutral Zone," the lowkey-good Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 finale that finds Picard and crew dealing with former human popsicles from the 20th century, the Romulans, and some foreshadowing of the Borg. We also take another trip to the Replimat with James Bond and Ridley Scott! To quote Hallmark's Galileo 7 shuttlecraft ornament: "Happy Holidays. Live long and prosper."

209. Voyager ‘Distant Origin’ Review – Planet of the Dinosaurs

What started out as a Star Trek: Voyager pitch for “dinosaurs with guns” turned into Jurassic Scientist. This week, we review “Distant Origin,” discuss its, ahem, origins from rough concept to final episode, and eulogize a Redshirt with ties to this fan-favorite episode. We also break down the pros of Alex Kurtzman’s newly extended tenure overseeing the Final Frontier and what’s up with that Worf comedy show pitch.

208. The Best Star Trek Episodes You Will Never See

This week, we dive into 55 years worth of Star Trek Development Hell and explore some great (and maybe some not so great) episodes that were never made. We also have a mini-review of Discovery Season 3 on Blu-ray (it's great!) and break down all the recent big Trek news: WandaVision director Matt Shakman beams down to helm Star Trek 4, Playmates Toys gets back into the Trek action figure game, and more…
