#228 – ‘Death Wish’ Voyager S2E18

Captain Janeway has to untangle an improbable moral dilemma involving Tuvok. Join your life-affirming hosts as they discuss the differences in Q-episode vibes between TNG and Voyager, the many interesting philosophical and moral questions this episode raises (and those it does not fully explore), and of course Dan plays each of the characters saying the word “suicide” so often as to render the word aurally meaningless.

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

Next week: Dan’s algorithm will tell the tale. Or, more accurately, will tell us which episode we’ll be watching. Check the website or our social media to find out what it will be! Hint: it’s probably going to be a TOS episode.

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.

#219 – ‘Q Who’ TNG S2E16

Q sets Picard up on a fateful blind date. Join your impish hosts as they discuss the visceral and existential terror of the initial concept of the Borg, the intriguing but largely unpursued history between Q and Guinan, and that situationally-incongruent smile Riker makes at one point in the episode.

Next week: Dan’s podcast-topic-selecting algorithm will generate something wonderful for us to discuss! Or a Christmas thing. We’ll see.

#203 – ‘The Q and the Grey’ Voyager S3E11

Captain Janeway receives a rather unlooked-for proposition from Q. Join your omnipotent hosts as they discuss the extremely male perspective of both the plot and humor in this episode, how even ostensibly progressive sci-fi often adheres to traditional and/or neoliberal gender roles in depictions of the future, and the curiously un-examined apotheosis of Tom Paris.

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 utilize Dan’s patent-pending bespoke podcast-topic-selecting-algorithm. Keep an eye on our social media and/or website to discover what episode we’ll be discussing!

#62 – ‘Deja Q’ TNG S3E13

Data teaches Q about chocolate and personal sacrifice. Join your omnipotent hosts as they discuss the evolution of character and philosophical development in Star Trek, praise the stream of snappy dialogue in this classic episode, and ponder why Geordi lacks the empathy of his fellow crewmates.

#2 – ‘Encounter at Farpoint’ TNG Pilot

In this installment of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast, Patrick, Dan, and Jesse continue their quest to discuss all the Star Trek pilots with ‘Encounter at Farpoint,’ the episode that introduced the world to the gentle wisdom of Jean-Luc Picard, the aggressive charm of William Riker, and the understated sensuality that is a brace of space-faring jellyfish.  Your hosts are joined by one of the world’s foremost experts on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Daniel H. Johnson, and cover topics including Riker’s anti-android racism, Geordi’s condescending gesticulation, and John de Lancie’s oboist parents.  Also, what exactly was Groppler Zorn’s plan – did he honestly think this was all going to work out in his favor?  Anyway, this is a good one – go get it!
