Once again, Data takes a step forward in his quest to become more human. First he tries out some now facial hair (who hasn't during this quarentine, am I right?) and then he unwillingly takes on the entire human personality of a dead guy!! Ira Graves has found a way to become inmortal- but it comes at too high a cost. In this episode our hosts do a watch-a-long with this TNG epsidode, so fire up your CBS All Access or Netflix and watch some Star Trek with us!

With the news of the 2 upcoming animated Star Trek shows, we take a moment to look back at the Animated Series from the 70's and discuss the possabilities for the future.

Grab your DVD, CBS All Access or Netflix log in and watch along as we discuss the season 2 episode "Loud As A Whisper". Mike, Ben & Erin will act as your chorus- unless we get vaporized early in the episode (sorry- spoilers!).

Schedule update: New episodes now coming twice a month!

We now have a Patreon with specail perks!

We try something a little different and watch an episode of Star Trek TNG while recording a "watchalong" comentary track. So settle in with your Netflix/DVD/Bluray copy of Star Trek The Next Generation, Season 2, Episode 4: The Outrageous Okana and join the conversation by tweeting us @hailingfreqopen.

What do you get when you cross Riker and Han Solo with The Rocketeer? Okana!! This episode even has a Bond girl! What's not to love?

Are you stuck spending a lot of time at home now because of social distancing, working from home, unemployment, etc? Sad that it's Summer and all your favorite shows are on hiatus? Why not watch Star Trek! Now is the perfect time to enjoy your favorite Sci Fi franchise and our hosts dive into why they think that is. :) Enjoy!

Everybody loves a little roleplay, right? Data and Geordi do! But they should have picked a safeword because things get out of hand in "Elementary, Dear Data"!

Are you excited about the return of Captain Picard?!?! We are!! Do you have a friend/spouse/pet who might need a little refresher course on who this Picard guy is and what the heck is going on with these Borg people? Well, we put together a list of episodes to watch while you're waiting. Think of it as a little Star Trek Picard primer based on what we know so far about the show. You have a few months to get ready but if you don't want to marathon all of TNG & Voyager, this watch list should help. :)

First-- the basics. You'll be introduced to Captain Picard, Data, and the Borg. - Star Trek TNG - S1. E13. Datalore - Star Trek TNG - S2. E9. Measure of a Man. - Star Trek TNG - S3. E26. & S4. E1. Best of Both Worlds (parts 1 & 2) - Star Trek TNG - S4. E2. Family - Star Trek TNG - S4. E3. Brothers - Star Trek TNG - S5. E23. I Borg - Star Trek TNG - S5. E25.

All Good Things (parts 1 & 2) - Star Trek: Generations - Star Trek: First Contact

Then you'll want to know who Seven on Nine is! - Star Trek VOY - S3. E26. & S4. E1. Scorpion (parts 1 & 2) - Star Trek VOY - S4. E2. The Gift - Star Trek VOY - S6. E16. Collective - Star Trek VOY - S7. E18 Human Error - Star Trek VOY - S7. E 25 & 26. Endgame (pats 1 & 2)

Then wrap up the Picard & Data story - Star Trek: Nemesis

Finally, I think the 24th-century events in this film will matter a lot-- specifically what happens to the planet Romulus. - Star Trek (2009)

In today's episode, we're sucked into a hole in space and forced to watch "Where Silence Has Lease"! Mike, Erin & Ben have some laughs at this weak episode and totally 'ship Riker & Worf #Rorf "ONE RIKER ONE BRIDGE"

It's a whole new season!! Welcome to season TWO of our TNG Re-watch Project. Counselor Troi is having a miracle baby, there's a new Doctor on board, the Enterprise has been redecorated and there's finally a bar in the neighborhood!! Let's watch "The Child"together, shall we? :)
