Shuttle Pod - The TrekMovie.com Podcast

Jared and Kayla gather round the dinner table to talk Nepenthe, action on the Borg Cube, and some revelations on La Sirena. Have a listen as we discuss the latest episode of Star Trek: Picard, “Nepenthe,” or as we like to call it, “Reunited, and it feels so good.”

Matt, Brian, and Kayla discuss this first episode of the second half of Season 1, “The Impossible Box”. The Shuttle Pod crew discuss how all of the season’s storylines are starting to merge together, the beautiful reunion of Picard and Hue, and how Narek’s antics with Soji seem to finally be paying off.

Join Jared, Kayla, and Matt as they delve into the divisive fifth episode of the season, “Stardust City Rag.” The Shuttle Pod crew breaks down the episode, celebrates the return of Seven of Nine, and discusses the issues, questions, and concerns with the world that ‘Star Trek: Picard’ has shown us. Listen along to hear why Kayla calls what we’ve seen so far heartbreaking, it’s probably not for the reasons you’d expect.

Brian, Kayla, and Matt discuss “Absolute Candor” the fourth episode of ‘Star Trek: Picard.’ Just as we get into space, Picard detours to get help from Elnor, a young Romulan he knew 14 years ago on the planet Vashti. As Raffi says, “Man can’t even take a guilt trip without using a starship.” We also get to see two new holographic facets of Chris Rios, and Soji has a seed of doubt planted about her past by Narek.

Join Brian, Kayla, and Matt as they discuss the third episode of ‘Star Trek: Picard,’ the aptly titled “The End is the Beginning.” We’ve come to the end of the first third of the season, and we’re finally setting off into space. But not before rehashing the past with Admiral Picard and Raffi Musiker, and meeting the roguish captain of his own ship Cristobal Rios (and his holographic doppelgängers), while Soji finds herself the subject of Romulan myth, and the bad guys pose in black leather and sunglasses.

Join the full complement of the Shuttle Pod crew as they discuss the second episode of ‘Star Trek: Picard,’ titled “Maps and Legends.” The episode definitely felt like the “middle child” of the first third, setting up more plot threads and introducing new villains, who seemed a bit over the top. But it was still a generally satisfying episode overall. Also the podcasters give special kudos to Orla Brady as Laris, who was “fecking” great this week!

Join the full complement of the Shuttle Pod crew as they discuss the premiere episode of ‘Star Trek: Picard.’ First, Brian, Jared, Kayla, and Matt catch up on some exciting news about season two of ‘Picard,’ and then they dive into the return of Jean-Luc Picard in the episode “Remembrance.”

With ‘Star Trek: Picard’ premiering this week the Shuttle Pod crew thought it would be valuable to do a deep dive into ‘Next Generation’ episodes they think (or hope!) will inform the series. Brian, Jared, and Kayla discuss “The Measure of A Man,” “The Offspring,” “The Drumhead,” and “Devil’s Due.”

The Shuttle Pod crew record one last podcast before the holidays. Jared, Laurie, and Matt catch up on the latest news including Michael Chabon’s changing role for ‘Star Trek: Picard’ season 2, and the “will he? won’t he?” question of Quentin Tarantino directing his Trek script. Lastly, the trio discuss the two animated ‘Star Trek: Short Treks’ released this month.

The Shuttle Pod crew gather to celebrate the lives of Dorothy Fontana and Rene Auberjonois. Join Brian, Jared, Laurie, and Matt as they discuss the careers of these two creative professionals and their contributions to Star Trek.
