#236 – ‘Jinaal’ Discovery S5E03

Book and Burnham team up with a worm ghost to seek out the next clue to the whereabouts of the Progenitors’ technology. Join your vicious bipedal hosts as they discuss thematically connected plotlines, linear puzzle-solving, and the trials and tribulations of a gruff old man who may suffer from undiagnosed social anxiety. Also there’s a lot of goofy music in this episode for some reason.

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

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery with our discussion of ‘Face the Strange’

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.

#232 – ‘For the Cause’ DS9 S4E22

Jake gets comfortable joking about his Dad’s sex life at precisely the worst time. Join your springball-loving hosts as they discuss a taught tale told well, debate the merits of Maquis political philosophy, and play another exciting (and, at times, controversial) game of “duty” or “doody”.

#231 – ‘The Seventh’ Enterprise S2E07

T’Pol settles an old score while Trip learns there’s more to being Captain than water polo. Join your spent-warp-core-injector-casing-hauling-hosts as they discuss brilliant production values, a wobbly – if ultimately satisfying – plot, and the persistent joy that is Connor Trinneer.
