V'Ger Please!

When the Warp Core starts itching for Space Crack Rock, Voyager turns to the one man who can score them the goods – Snarf Snarf in a glorious pimp coat. Witness your podcast heroes complete a hat trick of quality episodes, admire a fantastic guest actor performance, and more importantly behold the transformation of the most annoying crew member into the most hard core gangster on this side of the Delta Quadrant.

Your podcast heroes react to the big news that Sir Patrick Stewart is returning to his iconic role. Given how hard in the paint these two aging nerds are for TNG, what is their hot take? Spend 20 minutes finding out!

Your podcast heroes enjoy a winning streak with two quality Voyager episodes in a row, thanks to the reappearance of The Queen Herself! Joseph and Peter revel with their hateful kindred spirit as Seska manages to do the impossible by making both K-Mart Klingon diplomacy and Chakotay backstory info interesting and entertaining. Can this quality continue? Probably not, but we will enjoy it while it lasts.

A welcome return to joy and sanity comes at the hands of an all-too-rare quality episode of Voyager! Joseph and Peter give you a jumbo sized episode filed with their takes on "Cold Fire", a solid reminder of how good the show can be when it delivers on its premise effectively. Are you in the mood for an hour and a half of funny Trek analysis combined with the most unlikely of Phil Collins references? I hope so, because that is what you are getting!

The tell-tale flute of doom stalks your podcast heroes as they confront the darkest foe of all – the Chakotay backstory episode. Can you keep a straight face as Joseph and Peter confront the grim reality that comes with terrible performances, atrocious makeup, and writing so bad that the phrase 'rubber tree people' gets used multiple times? At least we get to watch Snarf Snarf get beat up by a hawk, right? Please make it stop.

This week, your podcast heroes encounter a Voyager episode that tries to be half Space Madness, half an episode of Ryan's Hope and try to understand if it was decent or not. Joseph is convinced "Persistence of Vision" was bad, with its Terrible Janeway Decisions and an underwritten soap opera plot, but Peter is so desperate for a quality episode he tries to defend it! Has Peter finally gotten Voyager Stockholm Syndrome? One thing is for sure – this is the episode to watch for a lot of sweet stage kissing action.

This week, your podcast heroes are confronted with evidence of the existence of a just and benevolent god – and that god is Jonathan Frakes! Against all odds, an episode focusing on Snarf Snarf and Tommy the Bad Boy talking about relationship jealousy and space lizard alien babies is…good? Mostly good? What did we just watch and how was it not terrible? The answer lies in your faith in The Frakes!

While reviewing an episode that is akin to staring into the Mouth of Madness, your podcast heroes scavenge for hot takes. How do you discuss an episode that is 60% made up inane conversation? Do we discuss Snarf Snarf's inept cake baking skills? The emerging replicator black market head cannon? Maybe the absolutely insulting ending that felt more like a parody then science fiction? Listen and find out how low we sink!

Your podcast heroes get back into the swing of things with the best kind of bad episode - the Harry Kim time warp special! Come join us on a tour de force of Garrett Wang's very worst acting. Watch in amazement as he fails to deliver on any convincing emotion, witness laughably bad actions scenes, and consider that yet again the Voyager writers waste a good idea with bad execution.
