M-Class E-Mail: Episode 60

Video game suggestions! Multiple e-mails that are just ads for our patreon! Trek Comics, Trek tales, and most important the continuation of the most Trek-like version of Star Trek Picard by Rich Masters! This episode goes above and beyond the call of duty for an e-mail answer program and we're the best ever! Unless there's a problem with the audio or something. Boy howdy, I hope there won't be any egg on my face! This is a companion piece to Episode 74 - Treachery, Faith, and the Great River (DS...

Treachery, Faith, And The Great River (DS9)

Odo discovers a startling secret! PIZZA STILL EXISTS! We discuss the Founders, the Vorta, the faith therein, and have a great time talking about sitcoms thanks to the O'Brien and Nog subplot. We aren't SUPER bad on spoilers this time but you should still have watched all of DS9 to be listening! AND IN GENERAL GO WATCH IT! This is the 4th episode of Boston Sean's Gods Collection as voted on by no one! I just chose it! Send us an e-mail at mclassemail@gmail.com Follow us on Twitter: @MClassPodcast...

Who Watches The Watchers (TNG)

Everyone aboard the Enterprise has one WHOPPER of a bad day, break the prime directive, try to scotch tape over it, and learn and grow along the way while the rest of us just kind of stare in awe at just how bad it can get so quickly. Also there's jokes and funny boys laughin' about like usual, so hop on in! This is the 3rd episode of Boston Sean's Gods Collection as voted on by no one! I just chose it!

M-Class E-Mail: Episode 58

Jeff got super duper sick right as we started recording this so excuse his slow agonizing death during the discussion. BUT IT'S A FUN ONE with tons of good e-mail content, Rich Master's newest episode of Fake Picard Season 1, and even more reason to love your one still-living host!

How Sharp A Serpents Tooth (TAS)

The crew of the Enterprise meet a Mesoamerican god in space in a space ship who has a zoo of Hannah-Barbera-looking space aliens who then makes our heroes solve a Tomb Raider puzzle to talk with him and this episode STILL doesn't have a whole lot going on with it.

M-Class E-Mail: Episode 57

We recorded this the night before it was due for patrons because we experienced almost completely unworkable audio and connection problems for about a week straight. We also both got around 3 hours sleep the night before. We updated all of our drivers, my OS, and about a billion other things and now we're back on track. ALSO A RICH MASTERS EMAIL!! Josh is the real MVP here since he edited this bad boy overnight. If you feel like shooting Josh a tweet to thank him for his hard work he for sure de...

Who Mourns for Adonais?

A big green hand appears in outer space and that's probably the most normal thing that happens, honestly. I guess if you consider 1960's era misogyny normal then it's got a lotta that too. We also make fun of a dude's poorly hidden nip for a while too so this episode's got EVERYTHING! This is the first episode of Boston Sean's Gods Collection as voted on by no one! I just chose it!

IT'S M-CLASS E-MAIL BAYBEEEE!! and it's a...well it's honestly a pretty light episode if I'm gonna be honest. We didn't get a whole lot of e-mails. But we DO tangent off like a mofo which pretty much makes this an episode of Jeff & Josh Shoot the Sh*t with e-mails as a side dish.

I, Borg (TNG)

Is genocide wrong? We're the first podcast in internet history to take a firm stance on the issue that, yes, it is in fact wrong. This is the record of that stance. We also marvel at just how good this episode is and get deep into the varying and oftentimes conflicting motivations and character growth of our beloved Enterprise-D crew throughout the episode!

This is the final episode of the Sports Collection because they play basketball for about 30 seconds in this one.
