  • Needs to focus on some positives, stop hammering us with complaints

    First, it’s obvious all the hosts love the star trek universe and it’s probably that passion that ends up becoming a problem. It’s seems more lately, as in the last season or so of reviews do they consistently harp on things they don’t like or think should be done better. I understand they see Star Trek as this bastion of inclusivity, but constantly bringing up every time a character could’ve been portrayed better, or complaining the science doesn’t make sense throughout the episode makes it a c... more

  • I really want to like it….

    I keep trying to like this podcast. But the f-bombs every other sentence is ridiculous. Please learn more adjectives. Three f-bombs in a sentence is excessive. And also why does Girafe watch the show if everything is “dumb”, “stupid” or lacks “agency”. I’m want to hear positive reviews. I won’t subscribe. I turn it off too many times.

  • Essential ST pod

    This pod has it all: episode discussions, Star Trek news (I don’t even do YouTube that much but watching the recent SNW teaser breakdown got me so excited for the new season), book discussions, and more fun content. Hosts are knowledgeable and entertaining.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deep Space Rewind | A Man Alone - DS9 103
Q: How well does this episode use those elements in shaking up the traditional Star Trek format?
The panel says the Western-inspired mob, frontier lawlessness, and moral ambiguity help establish Deep Space Nine's distinct tone, while acknowledging that the genre emphasis later shifts toward war stories.
Deep Space Rewind | A Man Alone - DS9 103
Q: How well do you think the writers did in setting the stage?
The panel finds the locked-room mystery effective: the evidence makes Odo a plausible suspect, while the episode leaves open who could have framed him and how.
Alternative Space: Melissa Navia
Q: What does it mean to you to portray a Latina character like Ortegas on Star Trek?
It's important to see a Latina at the helm of the USS Enterprise and to represent the culture and language on a beloved show.
Alternative Space: Melissa Navia
Q: How do you work on your self-esteem in an industry like Hollywood, where you face rejection often?
I just thought that I could do anything that I put my mind to. I didn't really see that I had barriers, you know. It helps to have thick skin and confidence in this industry.
SNA The Cries of Mars: Session 0
Q: How is Lieutenant Dati feeling at this time about the Romulan relocation effort being basically shuttered?
Lieutenant Dati feels similarly betrayed, reflecting on her people's past with Starfleet and their shared refugee crises.
