220. Jonathan Frakes Remembers ‘Cause and Effect’ at 30

Believe it or not, the classic Next Generation time-loop episode “Cause and Effect” just hit its 30th anniversary! And to celebrate, none other than Jonathan Frakes himself -- who directed the hour in addition to wearing his three pips very prominently throughout -- beams in to look back on the fan-favorite episode. We also do a quick Picard check-in, hit a reader mail, and of course mourn a ton of Red Shirts. So get all those threes out of your subconscious system, and listen now to TR3!

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."
