Star Trek Resignation

Picard gets eaten by a flower and talks to some synths. Back in NYC and Jersey, your hosts podcast to keep from going crazy while isolated at home. Heed the Admonition and maintain social distance.

What that harkened back to classic Trek did Wade and Glen like in this episode, and what is Sean so mad about?

Something awful happened that had a MASSive EFFECT on us. We try to put the pieces together in this ep. We've got Kristin (@kristinMuh) back. We got Sean back. Benny didn't watch the ep so he's gone. Glen changed his twitter handle

Losses are suffered. Things get DARK. But we have pretty nice things to say about the Riker/Troi storyline of Star Trek: Picard this week. We just have to survive the rest.

Does Star Trek: Picard put itself in an impossible situation? How much of past Trek is necessary just to know what's going on, and does the show provide any of what older fans want from their Star Trek? Picard revisits a Borg cube and we're revisited by figures from our past. Does this podcast do the same? Providing what its creators want, but not what the fans crave? Oh well.

A full crew complement! Benny Scheckner and Kristin from Montreal (formerly from Toronto) join the podcast this week. Finally, another person who knows Trek, and a person who somehow knows less than even Sean. What the heck, Benny?

This episode caused a lot of commotion. Is this the 7 of 9 show or Picard? Who is Icheb and does it matter to anyone who wasn't a fan of Voyager? Is the opening a bad thing to watch with your mom? Easter eggs are discussed. Glen has some questions about the economics of Borg reclamation, and Sean is having none of it.

Picard needs to make amends with some battle nuns and a boy he left behind. We don't hold anything back in our feelings about the show.

I, Borg? This whole podcast is Borg!

Sean doesn't really know anything about the Borg, so this episode was a little... confusing for him.

Wade is in the goldilocks zone of liking this episode.

Glen is still on a journey of discovery, but not Discovery. Just Trek.

Breaking down the episode or having a breakdown? Wade doesn't want to get caught up in being a fan, yet gets mad at minutiae. Sean doesn't know to get mad at anything. So he doesn't. Glen is really committed to being the ultimate Star Trek fan and getting his percentages up.

In this confusing IP obsessed media landscape - where it's hard to get definitive answers regarding the peculiarities of art - Wade Bowen, Sean Perrotta, Glen Hall, and Benny Scheckner give you the correct nuanced opinions on whether Star Trek: Picard is a good show, as based on the first episode.

Thanks again to Sean and Chris Galluci for the theme song, and apologies to The Replacements.

May it be that Disco Home Season 2 is finally over?

Lane and Courtney are nervous. Will Discovery stay in the future?

Let's talk about the romance. This show's characters can't even talk between themselves about their relationships without one being in a coma.

Dream plots and Klingon gods.

And finally, Wade receives final thoughts on Discovery Season 2 from Stefan in the Netherlands. And two guys who didn't watch the show have a few questions.
