V'Ger Please!

You can learn a lot from television! Life lessons about parenting, bad yodeling, terrible 'high speed' chases, the list is endless. This week, Joseph and Peter learned not to watch "Innocence" unless you want to see some buster-ass space Charles in Charge featuring the only character that can make babysitting on an alien planet fucking boring as hell.

Your podcast heroes don their Fender guitars and descend into the darkest, blackest metal version of Voyager as they review "Deadlock". Which Voyager will survive? Do Vidiians eat babies? Is Janeway going to make out with herself? Can Harry Kim find his own frozen-in-space corpse? Only the most brutal questions await us!

The Delta Quadrant's most unlikely detective journalist is on the case this week as Joseph and Peter wade through "Investigations". Listen as Joseph tries to convince Peter he has Voyager Stockholm Syndrome as Peter attempts to defend an episode with Hanna Barbara level villainy, Harry Kim's filthy lies, and fight sequence featuring the deadliest pipes in the universe.

Your podcast heroes stabilize their journey through the Delta Quadrant with the best possible medicine – the EMH episode. Joseph and Peter squeeze in their jokes between thought provoking and emotional scenes. Does Robert Picardo go for gold? You already know the answer!

Bonus content from Joseph and Peter as they discuss Voyager/Trek topic ranging from how badly written the Prime Directive is to the dark rabbit hole of erotic Trek Fan Fiction!

The original sin of Voyager rears its head at last as your podcast heroes deal with "Death Wish". John De Lancie might be a delight, but is it enough to overcome the huge plot holes and bad writing that surrounds him? Is his charm enough to make up for the charisma black hole that is the other guest star? Spoiler Alert: Probably not!

The worst designed super-weapon in the galaxy threatens some random dudes as your podcast heroes suffer through the worst kind of bad - 'boring bad'. Witness the thrills as B'Elanna talks to...herself. Big Tom is...late to a meeting. Ensign Wildman is...still pregnant. YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR WHOLE SEAT, AND YOU WILL USE ALL OF IT TO TAKE A NAP.

It's Bad Decision Day on Voyager as your podcast heroes review "Meld"! Joseph and Peter meander through revelations of a legit serial killer in space, Vulcans knowing kung fu (and saying hurtful things), and Commander No Fun breaking up Big Tom's gambling ring. One thing is for sure though - Tuvok didn't have a flowchart when he needed it the most.

Your podcast heroes get all the K-mart Klingon backstory and all at once as they grapple with "Alliances". As Joseph and Peter wade through a densely packed 44 minutes of skeezy Kazon bars, Burn Queen interludes, and shifty Maquis coworkers they ask the most critical question of all...where was New Jack Neelix when you needed him most?

Your podcast heroes hot streak of good Voyager episodes comes to a screeching halt as they digest "Prototype", an entry with all the narrative subtlety of a bat with nails in it. Not even Our Lord and Frakes can save us as we witness one of the most baffling choices ever made in makeup and costuming we have ever seen. Inventive camera work can't save you this time Jonathan!
