We reflect on DISCO’s sorta kinda sequel to the classic TOS episode “Mirror, Mirror” and Albie goes all Terran on its wormhole. After speculating on the what the worst part of Moll could be, we get down to the matter at hand: who’s the better Saavik?

April 21, 2024 TNG S1 E3: Code of Honor
Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about TNG S1 E3 “Code of Honor.”
This infamous episode’s reputation precedes it (with good reason), but there’s so much more to talk about. Is Trek’s notion of “Humanity” hubristic? When does the Prime Directive turn from a noble guiding principle into a practical liability? Is Data already funnier than Joe Piscopo?

April 19, 2024 DSC S5 E3 “Jinaal”
Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about Discovery S5 E3 “Jinaal.” We revel in Disco’s return to Trill and the callbacks to many elements of classic Trek – one of which led to an inspired performance by Wilson Cruz. But is it enough to counterbalance the multiple plodding relationship melodramas or big dumb invisible bug fights? We have opinions… Show: Star Trek: Discovery Air date: April 11, 2024 Director: Andi Armaganian Writers: Kyle Jarrow, Lauren Wilkinson

April 07, 2024 TNG S1 E3 “The Naked Now”

It’s only episode two, and TNG is already going back to the TOS well for this take off of the classic series episode “The Naked Time.” A space virus leads to ENT D sexytimes, establishing many lasting character dynamics for the Next Gen crew. But did this episode air to soon? Ice cream for everyone!

When Christopher Met Albie.
