Who is Doctor Crusher, really? Turns out she's a good doctor, an ok-to-middling mother, and an expert botanist. Too bad Picard stabbed her husband with a Nausicaan.  Follow us: @TrekByNumbers

Riker is a tragic character:daddy issues, low self-esteem, and a prisoner of his own libido. He can't make real connections or friends, even though he's surrounded by colleagues that respect him. It's a sad tale, told by idiots; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. 

Barclay. What's that guy's deal? He seems nice, at least. Does he get a happy ending? We turn to the "beta canon" novels to find out.

Miles sure loves yelling at babies. Ghosts have taken over the bodies of 3 officers (androids are susceptible to ghosts?) and want only to escape their eternal imprisonment and torture. Picard says "lol, no" and that's that. But yeah, Miles holds his family at gunpoint in a surprisingly smart script that is hampered by Insecurity Violence.

NickTate.com is here to put in a delightfully heartfelt performance in a very stupid episode of DS9, so turn off your brain and enjoy NickTate.com's performance as Miles, working as an intelligence asset with the worst handler ever, befriends and betrays the Loneliest Mobster.

There's some new Trek on the horizon, and it's.... kinda good so far? At least the first episode is! We unpack it, we throw out some brilliant ideas (Alex, call us), and we say stupid things.

We did it, everyone. We made it to The Episode We Always Make Oblique References To. The one where Miles O'Brien hucks his daughter through a time vortex, and also yells at a baby. This also begins our examination of the Life and Times of Miles Edward O'Brien.

Hey, how are you, huh? How were the holidays? Did you go to your aunt's..? Oh, I see. Yes, nice to see other parts of the family too. Oh, me? Well... 

It's more Khan, bay-BEE!

Part 1 of the Thanksgiving Special is here for you with return of friend-of-the-show Joe. It's The Wrath of Khan, the one legitimately good Star Trek movie. And it's such a treat. Enjoy and thank YOU for listening.
