#286 – ‘Favorite Son’ Voyager S3E20

An alien lady puts Vicks VapoRub on Harry Kim’s nose. Join your lady-wary hosts as they discuss Star Trek’s occasional tendency towards plots involving sexy women slurping out naive men’s essences. Also, Jesse isn’t here this week so Dan and Patrick prance around each other unmoored with childlike energy and attention. Don’t worry though, it turned out okay in the end!

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: Wesley Crusher and Proto-Paris get up to some unsavory shenanigans which make Captain Picard sad in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The First Duty” – will it be an episode rife for Dan’s “Doody or No Doody” game? Who knows?! Find out with us by listening next week!

#282 – ‘In the Flesh’ Voyager S5E04

Something goofy’s going on with Boothby. Join your Species 5618 hosts as they discuss good plotting, awkward chemistry, and inconsistent characterization in this generally well-received episode of Star Trek: Voyager. Note that we somehow let things get a bit out of control on this one!

#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.

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: We stick to the theme of stories about the tension between moral consistency and realpolitik in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s “Inquisition”

#259 – ‘Tattoo’ Voyager S2E09

Chakotay gets naked while The Doctor gets the flu. Join your hawkeyed hosts as they discuss the terrible decision to apply Star Trek’s “unitary culture” trope to all indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere, the even worse decision to ascribe native culture and success to the influence of Elaine’s boss, and the very good decision to listen to Robert Picardo. We also talk about the 1993 show Time Trax for reasons that aren’t made entirely clear.

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: We will be discussing an early classic from Star Trek: The Original Series, “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” – and yes, we will address the penis rock at length.

#233 – ‘Muse’ Voyager S6E22

B’Elanna effortlessly pretends the Prime Directive doesn’t exist. Join your theater-loving hosts as they discuss mythic story structure, writer’s writing about writing, and Tuvok the sleepy Vulcan.

#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.
