There are 967 episodes of Star Trek. Some are good, some are great, and the rest we'll still watch from time to time because, why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad, it's still kinda good. It's a Star Trek podcast that seeks to establish the pecking order for its extensive canon. Which episodes are classic examples of Star Trek or simply good (TREK), which are all-timers (MAR... more

  • Best original Trek Podcast

    This podcast is hands down the funniest and most refreshing take on Trek episodes I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. As someone who has watched Trek episodes multiple times(double digits), I appreciate that this show just gets right into the analysis.

    I enjoy this format and overall the episodes. I disagree vehemently with many (*many*) of the host takes however I generally see the points so I get them but I have often a very different viewpoint. The show is still enjoyable and I really enjoy *their* enjoyment even when they don’t like an ep that I may like. I think that’s what makes them different. The discussion is lively, the disses are not “my way or the highway” and the guests are fantastic. So keep up the good work. I look forward to th... more

  • The Next Generation

    Why do I come here? Because for Picard Season 3 you can FEEL Bryan smiling through the earbuds. Kristen also thinks the show is a 10/10 but her eyes are blinded by Bryan’s pearly white teeth as he’s grinning ear to ear.

    Just need to say- the Sub Rosa episode is Bryan & Kristen’s Citizen Kane.

  • A show as entertaining as the one it covers

    Bryan and Kristen provide a brilliantly irreverent perspective on a show that is sometimes brilliant and occasionally irreverent itself.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy" (s6e9) with writer Avery Kaplan
Q: Do you have a conspiracy brain, Avery?
Avery explains that conspiracy thinking in Trek mirrors real-world skepticism and can illuminate how Seven's access to data drives alienation and transformation.
DS9: "Homefront" (s4e11) with director David Livingston
Q: Could you talk about the on-location/off-location choices and the look of the Earth scenes?
We shot the exterior scenes to reflect present-day Earth with a consistent Starfleet look; off-ship locations weren't radically different in aesthetic, except when depicting planet-like sequences, which were used sparingly to maintain continuity with the Starfleet setting.
DS9: "Homefront" (s4e11) with director David Livingston
Q: What part of this episode will they teach at Starfleet Academy?
They'd likely teach civil liberties and following orders, especially in the context of a security-driven episode where leaders must decide what rights to suspend for the greater good, alongside the ethical questions raised by the changeling threat.
DS9: "Homefront" (s4e11) with director David Livingston
Q: Did you know the details of part two, basically?
I didn't have access to the full two-part arc as a producer; I didn't see part two ahead of time and I don't remember having conversations about what would happen next. I focused on what was written on the page and the emotional through-line of this stand-alone component.
VOY: "The Thaw" (s2e23) with James Thorpey of The Monster Rally Podcast
Q: What makes The Thaw stand out among Voyager episodes?
James argues it stands out for its theatrical, Fellini-inspired direction and its unusual combination of horror tropes with Star Trek leadership and ethics, culminating in a memorable hostage-negotiation sequence.
