#279 – ‘The Drumhead’ TNG S4E21

Worf boards the fast train to fascism while Captain Picard gets increasingly aggravated. Join your hosts with nothing to hide as they discuss themes that are upsettingly relevant to contemporary reality. Note that Jesse is out sick this week, and while the cats away, Dan and Patrick will play! With your heartstrings, that is. Seriously though, this is a good episode, don’t miss it!

FYI, Patrick had the pleasure of joining the Trek Cast podcast to discuss the current state of Trek – check it out wherever you regularly consume podcasts or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgX5WChawSQ

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

Next week: We stick to the theme of stories about morons who think that fascism is cool with our discussion of Star Trek: The Original Series’ “Patterns of Force”

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.

#277 – ‘The Killing Game (Parts I & II)’ Voyager S4E18 & 19

Turns out when it comes to Nazis, resistance isn’t futile! Join your very dry hosts as they discuss Voyager’s penchant for combining well-structured traditional moral tales with clever sci-fi conundrums, how much fun many of (but not all) the actors seem to be having playing different characters, and the joyfully chaotic imagery of Klingons slashing Nazis to bits.
