Discussing Trek

In episode two of season two of Star Trek: Lower Decks, we find that sometimes the best ideas come from the least likely places -- only if the alphas will take the time to listen. Also, is this episode a meta-commentary on the current state of Trek? Join us for our review of Kayshon, His Eyes Open.

In this bonus episode with Lee Shackleford and Kyle Jones, we have an in-depth conversation about Lower Decks and why Lee likes it. We first talk about the original vision of Roddenberry before discussing the acceptance of a character that does not play by the rules.

Lower Decks is back for another season, and the crew of the USS Cerritos is up to the same old shenanigans. As always, albeit sometimes reluctantly, Discussing Trek is tagging along for the ride. How do you face a god-like being born of Strange Energies? You hit him where it hurts.

Sometimes trek can get downright comedic, while elegantly staying within the confines of the Star Trek Universe, and Star Trek: Voyager "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" is no exception. Join in on the fun, as we get into the wackiness that is The Doctor's daydreams.

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, Hippocratic Oath, Julian Bashir weighs the strategic importance of helping a rogue group of Jem'Hadar -- while Worf weighs the dedication of Deep Space Nine's security chief. Join in on the fun as we unpack it all.

In this bonus episode, the crew offers their reaction to the recent trailers unveiled during the Peak Animation block during San Diego Comic-Con. In addition to looking for the devil in the details, we give our opinion on the outlook of two very different takes on the Star Trek franchise.

In an episode that felt more like Twilight Zone than Star Trek, Beverly Crusher navigates an alternate reality where the crew mysteriously disappears. I vote for not allowing your junior crewman to carry out crazy experiments aboard your flagship vessel. Join in as we unpack the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Remember Me.

In this episode, we see the new Chief Medical Officer of the USS Enterprise walk the fine line between her duty as a Starfleet Officer and her dedication to the oath of a healer. Doctor Katherine Pulaski risks it all to save a research station that seems to care more about its research subjects than the implications of trying to play God. Join in on the fun as Discussing Trek reviews Star Trek: The Next Generation, Unnatural Selection.

We continue our "Best of the Doctors" series by looking into the happenings on Earth 2 and the race to cure a virus that affects all GRUPS. Captain Kirk kicks up the charm in a race against time to find a cure for the virus that has now affected him and the away team. Join in as we review Star Trek: The Original Series, Miri.

In this episode, John Billingsley roams about the Enterprise checking on her systems and tending to her crew, but for this Denobulan, solitude might be the worst thing he could have ever asked. Join in on the fun as we review Star Trek: Enterprise 'Doctor's Orders', kicking off our "Best of the Doctors" series!
