In the second year of the Trek Geeks Podcast, Dan started doing puns during our weekly thanks to the band Five Year Mission. Before too long, those evolved into Farkisms--where he'd take the name of drummer Andy Fark and turn that into some kind of pun on an episode name. For years, people have been asking us of an episode of just the Farkisms, and there are so many, we had to break it up! So, this week, enjoy our first installment of Farkisms in "Farking Awesome, Volume 1!"...

Season 4 of Star Trek: Enterprise had several small, multi-episode arcs which helped extend the story telling and the characters. This week, we look at the first of those arcs which saw the return of a legendary Trek actor! In 2004, Brent Spiner returned to Star Trek on television to portray one of the ancestors of Data's creator, Arik Soong, who was pretty big on genetic engineering and it looks like his "kids"--the augments he'd raised from embryos--are on the verge of starting a war between E...
