Star Trek: Lower Decks is back and so are we to talk about the first two episodes of Season 4: Twovix and I have No Bones and I Must Flee.

Plus Wade caught up on Strange New Worlds and it brings him no pleasure to say he really liked it thank you very much.

It's finally over. Is this an over indulgent finale? Does the fan service hold up? We think it's worth your time to indulge in 90s nostaligia, of Canadian sketch comedy and Star Trek alike. Mostly Star Trek, if we're being honest.

Hard talk about whether the finale of Star Trek Picard held up.

Plus Rod Torfulson's Armada Featuring Herman Menderchuck (We're gonna make it).

Only two more episodes left, and we're podcasting on the edge of release. We don't know what the deal is with Jack Crusher, but maybe you've watched episode nine and know. Whole lot to go over in this one.

Also, we're filthy. Be happy with the what got cut.

Regrets. I've had a few. Has Picard? We watched two episode of a Star Trek show and had positive and negative reactions. What kind of references worked well and which felt unsatisfying? Can a viewer who knows nothing about Trek have an emotional reaction to a callback to a show from 30 years ago? Turns out it's all in how you use it.

[*editors note: Horatio Hornblower. He knows]

Have the wrongs of the past been repaired? What is this about a Dominion War? How does technobabble supplement melodrama? Wade is too excited for all the ways the show has fixed his problems. Glen is still reeling from the pain of what's come before and is not quite ready to trust again. Sean is down for it.

After a long hiatus, and skipping right over the rest of Picard Season 2, Strange New Worlds, and more; your old pals and that one aquaintance finally get back into resignation mode and see what's happening with our Start Trek: TNG friends. It's Picard Season 3!

Discovery! Picard! The Secret Cabal behind all of Nu Trek!

Things are said. Opinions are reversed.

Think this is some toxic podcast that hates Star Trek? This episode... may surprise you!

We take a break from Star Trek because Glen really needed this.

Enjoy some minor key fantasy tinklings and listen to a Robert Jordan superfan, a guy who never finished the books, and a guy we made watch a TV show tear into Amazon's Wheel of Time.

We didn't have constitution or class to talk about every espisode of Star Trek Discovery season 4, but we have to come clean on how our feelings have changed. For those who disagreed with us in the past ... you're welcome.

SqueeCore is discussed. Here's the source to hear where the "controversy" in SFF began over at RiteGud (https://kittysneezes.com/a-guide-to-squeecore/)

Is Star Trek: Prodigy a good Star Trek pilot? We had to talk about it.
