#218 Listen, nobody* ever** really WANTS to have to genocide an entire race. But sometimes, one has to fall back on the classic, legally and philosophically unimpeachable, defense of "they started it". Luckily, we don't have to wrestle with watching our beloved, be-balded captain commit fully to his morally-questionable eradication plan this time, …

#217 Imaginary friends! They're extremely common and normal for kids to have, according to all TV forever. But what if: there was some sort of terrifying, bloodthirsty person out there gratuitously murdering the poor innocent imaginary friends of every last child she came across?! That's not the plot of this episode at all, but it probably would ha…

#216 Few people realize that everyone here at Trek TV has been hand-selected as a gifted mutant podcastmorph, with the ability to sense what a potential listener wants, what they need, what gives them the greatest pleasure; and then do the exact opposite of that. So we're probably a subspecies of everyone involved with formulating "The Perfect Mate…

#215 Warning: only those "whose hearts are joyous" may listen to this episode of Trek TV. Well, unless they can somehow overcome, through sheer strength, the imposing presence of a weird stupid rainbow-checkerboarded head in a bubble. Of course, the real question is: with the double threat of Lwaxana Troi and Alexander Rozhenko actually TEAMING UP,…

#214 Here at Trek TV, our first duty is to the truth. And by the truth, we mean the liquor, and the truth is some of us definitely take that duty a bit more seriously than others. But don't judge us too harshly; much like our perennial Golden Boy Wesley was seduced and, finally, corrupted by the charm and coiffure of Not-Tom Paris, we were the vict…

#213 In what's definitely a top 3 cold open at the very least, the boat blows up and everyone dies. (Try not to get too worked up about it though, you'll be seeing it again at least 3 more times). In between repeatedly exploding and smashing her favorite fancy whiskey glass, Dr. Crusher is hard at work trying to cure the chronic boat-blowing-up dis…

#212 A terrified, misunderstood, and persecuted person finally decides to accept and take a state for who and what she is, and is subsequently seized by the state for her perceived deviance and faces an involuntary, disturbing, and invasive mental "treatment" to "correct" her "condition". Fortunately, the Enterprise is there to help! Unfortunately,…

#211 We're so excited that we're just snapping our spines left and right on this one, confident in the knowledge that a risky but promising breakthrough medical procedure will probably show up to repair the damage any day now.

#210 This week, the crew of Trek TV find ourselves possessed once again by the terrifying spectre of audio difficulties. Maybe if one of us had just been willing to take one for the team and bust their coccyx, we could have been spared this awful fate, but we really don't have the insurance to do our own stunts. So when you get to the occasional pa…

#209 Well, our forever-war against the vile audio-genocidal race continues, and this week they once again managed to nefariously infiltrate our recording equipment to the point that it appeared nearly certain they had managed to strike a decisive blow that would have devastated the entire Star Trek podcast quadrant. Thankfully, the brave men and wo…

#208 So apparently a bunch of almost-certainly unbearably pretentious jackasses left Earth centuries ago to create a "perfect" society via genetic engineering & eugenics, and shockingly it... sort of worked out ok? Until the Enterprise arrives and ruins it by... saving it from utter destruction. Kind of a weird angle to come at the whole thing, now…

#207 So... yeah. There's no sugarcoating it: this episode's title isn't kidding, it has some pretty dark themes of mental abuse and sexual assault, some stuff we really can't goof on. Thankfully, there's still plenty of good fun to be had in the less horrific elements, like questionable childhood beverage choices, oddly-targeted brain-scans, some p…
