#97 – ‘I, Excretus’ Lower Decks S2E08

The Upper- and Lower-Deckers switch roles and in the process learn that the true enemy of efficiency is a meddlesome organizational consultant. Join your holopod-dwelling hosts as they discuss the use of callbacks for both humor and metacritiques of classic Star Trek tropes, how Mariner and Captain Freeman are alike while retaining differences based on career level and experience, and the magnificent audacity of Boimler’s athletic spread.

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

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Lower Decks with episode 9!

#67 – ‘More Tribbles, More Troubles’ TAS S1E05 & ‘The Trouble with Edward’ ST S2E02

A very animated Captain Kirk fends off fat tribbles and agitated Klingons; meanwhile Lieutenant Edward Larkin’s humanitarian science project goes off the rails. Join your starving hosts as they discuss the difficulty squeezing multiple plots into 22 minutes of screen time, highlight the creative advantages afforded by the Short Trek format, and debate the flavor and quality of freshly-shorn tribble meat.

#63 – ‘Way of the Warrior’ DS9 S4E01 & 02

Captain Sisko hires a ringer after the Klingons start acting up. Join your sleepy, low-T hosts as they examine the galacto-political ramifications of changeling-induced paranoia, the skillful writing of characters on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the real reason that Worf is such a fan of prune juice.

#6 – ‘The Vulcan Hello’ & ‘Battle at the Binary Stars’ Discovery Pilots (Part I)

Would you believe it?  Another week, and another new episode of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast!  In this new entry to our rapidly-expanding library of insightful, irreverent (and ultimately irrelevant) audio recordings, your hosts discuss the first two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery, ‘The Vulcan Hello’ and ‘Battle at the Binary Stars.’  There will be praise, there will be frustration, and, most importantly, there will be references to the Klingon blood scientist from Enterprise.  Oh, before you ask, yes we will be covering the third episode, “Context is for Kings,” next week since that is essentially a second pilot for the series.  Note that this episode was not sponsored by Siggi’s Icelandic-style Triple Cream Vanilla skyr yogurt, no matter what you think you might have heard.
