#352 – “A Case of Chiaroscuro” SNW S4E04

The crew of the Enterprise think they are in a noir but they ain’t. Join your lugubrious hosts as they discuss missed opportunities and the confusing amalgamation of varied and largely incompatible traditional plot structures, production design elements, and writing choices. We also discuss unclear themes and messages, and even manage to remember to examine that strange B-plot! Additionally, we catch up on a few “doody or no doodies” and experience another thrilling game of “Where There Hell Have I Heard That Before?” (aka WTHHIHTB). Give this ep an attentive listen today!

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

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ fourth season with our discussion of “Level-Five Transporter Accident”

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.

#351 – “Human Best Friend” SNW S4E03


This is one of those “Oops, everyone’s high!” episodes. Join your psychedelic hosts as they discuss being stoned, Lower Decks-style hi jinx, being high, actors getting to have some fun with their characters, chasing the dragon, and also some stuff about feet. There are some doody or no doodies, and just the right amount of serious and cogent analysis of this whacky episode of Strange New Worlds!

#350 – “The Griffin Incident” SNW S4E02

Dr. William Weir joins a mission to salvage the Event Horizon. Join your spooked hosts as they discuss ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and all sorts of other creepy things in this body-horror-filled, character-development driven episode of Solaris. Also, Dan provides new evidence with regard to the ongoing Magnum P.I. theme song discussion. Other things happen too, like Patrick’s obsession with Cameo, Jesse considering whether and when to sneeze, and Dan playing some pretty fun sound clips.

#349 – “Valles Marineris” SNW S4E01

Captain Pike permits genocide but it’s ok ’cause it’s one of those good genocides somehow. Join your entertained but slightly befuddled hosts as they discuss big swings, breath-taking production design, muddled themes, pretty but superfluous scenes, Saffron Burrows, Scotty and Ortega’s dance of digs, too-cute plot twists, and the character arcs set up for the fourth season. Also, an intense controversy over the Magnum P.I. theme song during which Dan makes several solid points while Patrick remains playfully recalcitrant. Meanwhile, Jesse battle a mosquito that he insists was flying around the studio, but Dan and Patrick were too distracted with their own petty disagreements to notice. New listeners – keep listening!

#307 – “New Life and New Civilizations” SNW S3E10

Captain Pike sees the inner light in Captain Batel’s eyes. Join your frustrated hosts as they discuss the good, the bad, and the just plain confusing of this strangely constructed season finale. We manage to avoid knock-knock jokes, despite all the knocking – and while we knock this episode a bit, there is much we enjoyed! Learn more by clicking the button marked play.

#306 – “Terrarium” SNW S3E09

Enemy mine? No – enemy yours! Join your comforted hosts as they discuss all aspects of this long-awaited and much-desired Erica Ortegas-centric episode, including the continuing value of familiar plotlines (at least when they are well-produced), superfluous fanbait that threatens to distract from a solid tale, and the universal appeal of a monster with its nose sticking out of a blanket flopped on its head. We also discuss cloacae, briefly.
