After beaming down to a desert planet, Dr McCoy runs into an old flame from his past. However, she looks like she hasn't aged a day! Soon after, dead bodies start to pile up and salt becomes a vital commodity! The Man Trap is a mystery filled with romance, illusions, and salt tablets!

Modi stops by to discuss unfortunate reveals, beating up women, and the last buffalo!

With the first "real" episode of TOS, Kirk and crew (including Dr McCoy!) run into a mysterious floating square, blow it up, and then come face to face with a dummy and a young Clint Howard! The Corbomite Maneuver is an iconic episode of the show, and it contains many of the hallmarks that people would come to know and love.

Clay stops by to discuss eating leafy greens, technicolor uniforms, and the ages of Captains Kirk and Picard!

The second pilot for Star Trek features fisticuffs, god like beings, and William Shatner as James R.(?) Kirk! When a crew member becomes granted immense powers at the edge of the galaxy, Kirk has to decide if he can save the life of his friend, even if it means risking the Enterprise and all of humanity to destruction. Modi Operandus stops by to discuss playing grab ass during red alerts, how to kill a god, and shouty-pants Spock!

TOS shot multiple pilots, and the first one featured a somewhat depressed captain named Christopher Pike! With an entirely different crew (except for an unusually emotional Mr. Spock), The Cage was Roddenberry's first attempt at Star Trek. We all know that the series ultimately went in a different direction, but was The Cage any good in the first place? Clay joins me to discuss seductive lounging, sad captains, and casual misogyny!

Having finished TNG, the podcast is moving backwards in time to The Original Series! We'll be covering about ~20 episodes from the three seasons of TOS, and then moving into the TOS and TNG movies. This episode does some general podcast housekeeping, lists the episodes we'll be covering, and provides some updates on the show!

That's all she wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation! Clay and Modi join me to discuss the entirety of the series, from Farpoint to All Good Things. We discuss the highs and lows, how TNG stacks up to modern television, and how it stands now, as a relic of the past, in early 2017. We follow that discussion with a Q&A section, where we answer many questions that listeners sent in. Finally, the winners for series ending giveaway are drawn, and two lucky listeners snag some fancy Blu-Rays!

That's the end of TNG! In this episode, Wes does his usual recap of the season, this time for TNG S7. He discusses his general opinion of the 7th season, goes over the best and worst episodes, hands out some made up awards and breaks down where this year stands in comparison to the other 6 years.

We say goodbye to Star Trek: The Next Generation as "All Good Things..." must come to an end.

This is it! The last "regular" episode of TNG before the feature length finale! Obviously, this will be an episode that focuses on our main cast, who we've been with for over seven years... right? Trekabout's Eric and Richard join me to discuss "Preemptive Strike", an episode built around the Maquis and Ro Laren, and which surprisingly features very little of the main cast. We break down failures of episodic story telling, supporting actors, and weird episode placement.

The Enterprise has been a sort of character over the course of seven seasons. We've come to know it like the back of our hand. But what if it actually became a sentient being? "Emergence" tries to deal with this question, and it ends up with mixed results. Clay joins me to discuss bendy straw aliens, holodecks gone wild, and golden bricks!
