  • SNT55 - Pathfinder (VOY 6x10) - Holodeck Series
    Reg Barclay is back to his wiley holodeck ways, escaping reality and devising brilliant solutions to complex scientific problems. This episode is essentially Hollow Pursuits redux but with some critical differences (eg. the word "creepy" is used for recreating people in the holodeck). We discuss what makes Pathfinder the superior episode and discuss whether Reg's holodeck use crosses the line.

  • SNT52 - It's Only a Paper Moon (DS9 7x10) - Holodeck Series.mp3
    This week we review the only episode of Star Trek to focus exclusively on two non-regular members of the cast. In 'It's Only a Paper Moon', James Darren gives a command performance as Vic Fontaine alongside Aaron Eisenberg giving an equally strong impression as a war-weary Nog. Listen in as we review this DS9 classic and ponder whether it hits all the right notes.

  • SNT51 - Author, Author (VOY 7x20) - Holodeck Series
    We're starting a new series recapping Star Trek episodes dealing with the holodeck! This week we're reviewing the Voyager seventh season episode 'Author, Author' which has a surprising amount of depth for what's usually regarded as a comedy piece. Listen in as we debate whether Janeway's conduct is a sign the writers didn't understand her character or whether it's a reflection of how oppressed people are treated when they bring up workplace problems.

  • SNT48 - Carbon Creek (ENT 2x02) - Time Travel Series

    3 Vulcans crash landed in coal country Pennsylvania in the 1950s. Or did they? 'Carbon Creek' is the story of T'Pol's grandmother making an unexpected stay on earth. OR it's the story of how T'Pol pulled the legs of her commanding officers.


    We recap 'Carbon Creek' and share our Strange New Takes on whether we think T'Pol was spinning a yarn or telling the truth.
