April 21 TOS: "The Way to Eden" (s3e20) with Mark Farinas & Ryan Thomas Riddle of The Ship Full of Jerks Podcast
HIP HIP HIPPIE! The Ship Full of Jerks take command of the podcast once again as "Are We Sure It Was Bad?" Month rolls along. The Enterprise takes into custody a band of hippies who are trying to find the mythical planet of Eden, which for some reason is very close to the Neutral Zone. To them, Kirk is a square and Spock is cool. Also, Chekov has a preexisting relationship with one of them. Is the episode a TREK, MARRY, or KILL?

April 07 DS9: "Move Along Home" (s1e9)
QUARK THE GAMER. We kick off "Are We Sure It Was Bad?" Month with one of the more memed episodes of Star Trek: the episode where Sisko, Kira, Dax, and Bashir become trapped in a board game brought through the wormhole by gaming aliens from the Gamma Quadrant. Shereese the Sci Fi Savage beams in to see if this one is a TREK, MARRY, or KILL.

April 03 LD-"The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel" & "A Farewell to Farms" (s5e3-4) with writers Avery Kaplan & Ollie Kaplan
HASTE MAKES TASTE? Bryan is joined by the Kaplans, Avery & Ollie, to talk about their love of Lower Decks, the worst episode of Star Trek in Ollie's opinion, and thoughts on how Star Trek should leverage its many alien cuisines. As for the two episodes up for judgment, in the first one, Mariner backslides into a season 3 characterization while T'Lynn reveals another awesome aspect of her personality. In the second, Dr. Migleemo's world proves to be a seven-course headache for the Cerritos crew!

March 31 SNW: "New Life and New Civilizations" (s3e10)
EYES WIDE SH*T? It's the third season finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and it would appear that the writing staff used the opportunity to combine three or four partial storylines they'd been noodling with all year only to realize that this might wind up being the series finale. Does the stew of ideas and spectacle make this a TREK, MARRY, or KILL?

March 24 SNW: "Terrarium" (s3e9)
GORNTEGAS? Erica Ortegas finally gets a substantial spotlight and it's a take on Enemy Mine and the TNG episode "Darmok." Can the helm officer of the Enterprise survive in an inhospitable place with a member of the Gorn Hegemony, her sworn enemy?

March 17 SNW: "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (s3e8)
HENRY ALONSO MYERS presents his Star Trek-ified version of Birth of a Nation in the latest "it's okay because they're aliens" racial comedy that Strange New Worlds is the genre they've pioneered. But does this one match up well with, say, "Spock Amok," or "Charades," the episode to which this is a soft sequel? Bryan and Kristen try not to concern themselves with the plot and just examine this one as an expression of... something.

March 10 SNW: "What Is Starfleet?" (s3e7)
BETO'S FIRST MOVIE isn't quite what it was sold as. It's not feature length and it's more of a hit piece than an examination of what Starfleet is, and that's probably for the best as it's clear that Erica Ortegas's lil' bro has some serious problems with what's happened to his sister in service of the fleet. Are Bryan and Kristen impressed by this format-shifting episode of Strange New Worlds?

March 03 SNW: "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (s3e6)
TRUSTING HIS FARRAGUT. Lt. Commander Kirk is thrust into command of the USS Farragut, but thankfully, he has Spock, Scotty, Uhura, and Nurse Chapel there to help him get through a hairy situation. Meanwhile, aboard a captured Enterprise, Chris and La'an play Lee & Starbuck, skulking the corridors taking out Cylons -- I-I mean ancient astronauts who've lost their humanity and are trying to strip the ship for parts.

March 01 LD: "Dos Cerritos" & "Shades of Green" (s5e1-2) with Geekscape's Katie Hampton
THINE OWN SELVES. The Cerritos crew meets their alternate reality versions and are not too happy by what they discover about themselves via a parallel universe. Meanwhile, Tendi's choice to remain with the Orion Syndicate for a bit longer than you might expect gives her character an added, interesting dimension. This month's animated spotlight kicks off the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Will Bryan and returning guest co-host Katie Hampton Trek, Marry, or Kill these episodes??
