Trekology

Another episode of Lower Decks, and this time it's "The Least Dangerous Game" from season 3! As Ensign Boimler wrestles with Bajoran dirges and Kromsapod hunters, we'll wrestle with employee/employer relations, finding our value in our work (not from our work), as well as how our many cultures can all get along!

SHOW NOTES

On we go to Lower Decks! And we're starting with Greg's favorite episode "Crisis Point". Join us to chat about the episode, the line between video games (and holodecks) and real life, how we deal with anger, and how family cultures affect our adult lives.

SHOW NOTES

Once more unto the breach! We're heading back to Picard, this time season 3, to talk "No Win Scenario". We get to talk about near-death experiences, fatherlessness, and if it really "takes a village" to raise a child

SHOW NOTES

We're venturing hesitantly to Star Trek: Picard, starting with the episode "Nepenthe" (mostly due to our obsession with Riker's woodfire pizza). Join us to chat about that, as well as what "doing our share" means, as well as the effect of losing a child (hypothetically).

SHOW NOTES

We're sticking with Saru! Our love for Doug Jones continues as we discuss "An Obol for Charon" (whatever that means!). Really, we're using this as an excuse to delve into Fear, what it is, why is it, and what's the difference between concern, anxiety, nervousness, and fear.

SHOW NOTES

A discovery of Discovery! It's true, Greg finally gets us to watch Discovery, and we're jumping right into the end of Season 1. Most importantly, we get to talk about inter-cultural interactions, how to deal with bullies, the difference between "evangelism" and "evangelicalism", as well as the merits of Will Arnett...

SHOW NOTES

Simlitude? Simulatude? However we pronounce it, we're spending one more episode on Enterprise, this time in Season 3 with "Similitude". We'll tackle cloning, big sin/little sin, the merits of veganism, and everything in between! Join us!

We're concluding our journey through Voyager this week with the two-parter "Year of Hell". We get to chat about the effect small things have on our lives, value judgements on seasons in our lives, and what makes a house a home! Plus, we get to chat about Patrick Stewarts bare chest...
