Start Trek

So Dave disagrees, but I am team Ferengi all the way. Listen to the episode and find out why - the Enterprise basically provokes like 90% of the drama.

Oh - Zordon makes a surprise cameo from The Power Rangers, and people are just being rude to Data for absolutely no reason!

Also Picard gets a little too flag happy. Oh and "Doctor" Crusher doesn't understand how cold weather works, and considers euthanizing Wesley.

We also learn that those Ferengis really pull focus. The camera loves them.

What a wild ride!

YIKES.

We recorded an entire episode for "Code of Honor," the episode between "The Naked Now" and "The Last Outpost."

We aren't going to say this TNG episode didn't age well, because it should not have been made in the first place! To be honest, it was tough finding the humor in such a crappy episode - that's not just us saying it, Riker's actor has called it "a piece of sh**."

It doesn't add (in fact it super detracts) any value or character development, and I wasn't confused going into the next episode, so if you're a newbie, I vote you save yourself 45 minutes and watch Westworld instead. #savewestworld

In any case, we decided the best thing to do is to just move on to "The Last Outpost." So we're uploading that today! 

We recorded a five minute clip with more details in lieu of our episode, if you're curious.

Today we listen to the weirdest episode of Season One,  where people are infected with "Polywater" which is some kind of aphrodisiac or confidence booster, like oysters mixed with cocaine? Dave doesn't know, Amara is just along for the ride. We learn what a "wild party" is by Starfleet standards, and spoiler, it's pretty lame and boring. Amara begins to doubt Dr. Crusher's medical credentials. Oh, and Amara really, really, really, wants to throw Wesley Crusher out of the airlock. To quote Hicks and Ripley of Aliens fame, "It's the only way to be sure." We get a tour of Troi's poncho collection, and meet Dr. Crusher's cousin who works in engineering.

Join us for the thrilling conclusion of something* something at Farpoint! In which we see a grumpy Levar Burton (probably because his glasses won't let him read books), Riker does not show appropriate deference to Levar which makes me mad as the Reading Rainbow was an important part of my developmental years, Space Hamlet (Q)'s costume budget runs out, the Weather Groppler has a courteous torturer, and we maybe see some X-rated Jellyfish action? Troi gets a little toooooo into reading some "joyous" emotions if you know what I mean, keep it PG Star Trek TNG!

*Again, Dave does not approve of this write-up, Amara is happy to take credit for it.

In our inaugural episode, we take a journey to Farpoint Station, meet Space Hamlet, Riker's* immaculate hair, Wesley's stupid sweater, Troi's feelings, potential psycho droid Data, colorblind Dr. Crusher, and a really chill guy named Groppler who is toootally not sinister AT ALL, in fact he could make his mark as a weatherman since his name rhymes with doppler. 

Ohhh, also, we meet Professor X pre-wheelchair, wannabe frenchman Picard.

*This summary was written by Amara, Dave wants no part of this gibberish.
