#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, and it's all thanks to everyone's favorite adorable reformed Borg, Hugh! Well, favorite until the one with the big gazongas comes along, but for now h...
#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 have been a hell of a lot better if it was! In fact, we strongly recommend you make a concerted effort to focus your mind on this much, much more exciti...
#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"! But we're certainly not perfect, so if you're by some chance actually looking for nuanced discussion of the illusion of choice, the difficulty of l...
#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, why would you WANT to? We're not sure either, but what we DO know is there's plenty of discussion of the pitfalls and practicalities of interspecies ...
#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 victim of a similarly brash and manipulative lockdown that seemed like it would never end. But also some of us might have just started the maneuver waaaaa...
#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 disease, but when the culprit turns out to be none other than Dr. Frasier Crane himself, there’s obviously only one solution: the power of numbers! But w...
#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, nobody seems to really care, except for Riker on account of he wants to figure out where his bits could go. It's kind of weird and messed up! Some da...
#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. And what could be making us shatter our vertebrae so recklessly? Well, how about the crucial revelation, so important to our podcast lore, of how many redundant bits Klingons have? Or the hairdo nadir to finally rival our dear departed Tasha Yar? Could it be the graphic di...

#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 parts that sound all broken or inaudible, just know that we're not in control, we've simply inhabited by the spirits of long-lost podcasts past. Just ki...

#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 women of Trek TV are well-prepared for their trickery at this point, and our forward thinking and painstaking efforts have ensured we could save this po...

#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 that we think about it. Well, in the end, you can definitely call the society a piece of SOMETHING, anyway. You'll just have to listen to find ou...

#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 pretty badass Troi self-defense tech, and an appearance of the exceedingly rare Behaired Picard. We hope you'll still have a good time with all that si...

#206 Exciting times! We've reached the episode that won the series their prestigious award for "Longest Consecutive String of Episodes Featuring Children Trapped Under Beams", a feat that, as far as we are aware, has yet to be bested. Now, some might say we're a bit harsh on Timmy here, a child who's just suffered some of the worst trauma imaginable in this one, but we only do it because we care; without some serious tough love, a kid this terrible at basic model construction is bound to fall th...
#205 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E10 - "New Ground". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Jared, with Special Guest Mariana. Are you ready to catch the wave?! Which wave? Why, the Alexander wave, of course! Yep, after harassing his grandparents for a year, everyone's "favorite" son of Worf is finally and officially dumped onto the Enterprise to turn his dad's life upside-down, for at least one episode or so. And he's just in time for an even more...
#204 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E09 - "A Matter of Time". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek & Jared. Uh-oh, don't look now, but Max Headroom broke out of his mainframe, (probably) murdered a guy, stole his time ship, and headed straight for the Enterprise in a scheme as through in its research as it is questionable in its practicality! Rather than buying a winning lottery ticket or bringing back a 23rd-century sports almanac like an...
#203 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E08 - "Unification II". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek and Jared. In this wonderful episode of Trek TV we discuss all about Spock distracting our audience away from a plot that may not make any sense whatsoever! What was Yar's daughter's plan again? No matter, too much awesomeness to notice or care about any plot holes! Visit our website for fan art, news and more!...
#202 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E07 - "Unification I". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek & Jared. That damned Spock! Not even a decade later, and the Feds have to search for him again. This time, the slippery devil is apparently on Romulus, as evidenced by a satellite photo that needs to be inexplicably re-enhanced every time someone needs to look at it. Could Spock be a defector?! Of course, because who doesn't want to shack up wit...
#201 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E06 - "The Game". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Jared. A new, exciting game is taking the Enterprise by storm, and without the need for any exploitative microtransactions, shady lootboxes, or manipulative gambling mechanics. Nope, it's earned its popularity the old-fashioned way: simple, satisfying gameplay, backed up with just a tiiiiiiny bit of direct stimulation to the pleasure center of the brain leadin...
#200 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E05 - "Disaster". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek, Dustin, & Jared. Wow! It's our 200th episode of Trek TV, and we truly couldn't have asked for a more appropriate episode of the show to match. Everything goes to hell, children are crying up and down, questionable arguments rage on, people are left for dead, interminable bits are beaten to within an inch of their life and then beaten several inches ...

#199 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E04 - "Silicon Avatar". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek & Jared. Call her Kila. She's a tough-talkin', revenge seekin' scientist whose tongue is as sharp as her computer skills, and she's here on the Enterprise to chew out androids who look like the one that led the Crystalline Entity to vaporize her son, and kick said Entity's ass after it just got caught red-handed vaporizing Riker's latest dry cu...
#198 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E03 - "Ensign Ro". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek & Jared.. Listeners! Are you tired of your boring, by-the-book, too-perfect starship crew? Then why not try the all-new, extra-abrasive, highly anti-social Ro Laren?! Straight from the stockade, this feisty disgraced officer comes complete* with sorrowful and checkered past, clip-on earring, and a chip on her shoulder to rival Worf's bandolier (it's...
