Play Pause

7d ago1:29:38

1:29:38

Gambit, Part I! Gene Roddenberry wouldn't allow space pirates in Star Trek, but now he's DEAD. It turns out, space pirate stories are a ton of fun and TNG probably should've done it a while ago. So Picard's murdered, Riker has to solve his mystery, he gets captured by Richard Lynch, and Data ends up acting captain, doing the Mr. Burns fingers. Oh a…

1:36:33

Interface! On the one hand, we have the premise of Geordi being plugged into a new remotely-controlled holographic drone thing that's controlled through a neural interface straight out of Lawnmower Man. Neat.

4M ago2:25:32

2:25:32

Second Chances! The episode that definitively proves that the transporter is just a cloning machine. Don't @ us about this, you can't change the facts with all your nerd science, there's literally two Rikers. Anyway, Deanna wants to bone the other Riker, and the other Riker is really made at the other Riker. Also Picard REALLY needs this database f…

Ask a Trek Expert with Sandy Holland! Last April Fool's, we reviewed "Star Trek: The Next Generation - A XXX Parody" at the behest of fans, and it ended up being a surprisingly good watch!

NST: DS9 - The Forsaken - Season 1, Episode 17 1:36:38

4M ago1:36:38

1:36:38

The Forsaken! Who knew that the best part of this episode would be Lwaxana?! Well, I guess it's partially because Odo was with her the whole time, but she was also a genuinely good character this episode. Also, I guess there were some other prissy ambassadors that Julian had to babysit. And I guess some sort of... computer... baby? C'mon guys, what…

NST: Safe House (1998 film) 1:16:15

5M ago1:16:15

1:16:15

Safe House! During the dark period after TNG ended but before the X-Men movies, Patrick Stewart was adrift doing random middling projects. One of these was Safe House. Marvin remembered this movie being a lot funnier than it actually was. But hey, at least we got to see Sir Pat Stew's dong. Where you can find Patrick Stewart's full frontal: https:/…

If Wishes Were Horses! What if Rumplestiltskin came to life? What if an old-timey yet still from the future baseball player came to life? What if sexy Jadzia Dax came to life? What if a big space butthole came to life? What if the TNG episode Where No One Has Gone Before came to life but without that pervy Traveler? Well, if these were your wishes,…

1:34:49

Suspicions! For some reason, Beverly puts together a small conference about starship shield engineering? Uh, and then the experiment goes awry and gets someone killed? And then the original inventor of the new shield dies? Man, what a mess, surely she won't do anything that'll make her look crazier and get her in more trouble. We have a YouTube Mem…

6M ago1:37:19

1:37:19

The Chase! Ever wonder why all the aliens in Star Trek are just humans with stuff on their face? Well, so did the TNG writers, and here's their answer! Will it lead to a profound ending where we all learn to come together and be friends? No. Will we unintentionally avoid all references to Red Letter Media jokes about the kurlan naiskos?

Vortex! We survived the vortex of the California fires to present you the Vortex of DS9! Y'know, the one where Odo gets knocked out by rocks.

1:36:17

Lessons! Picard finally allows himself to have an interoffice romance, just like the rest of his crew. But he's being REALLY stuck up about it. I dunno, I guess it's fair he doesn't want to put his new squeeze in danger as a captain, but who should he ask for advice? Riker? Deanna? Beverly? The guy with the hairy arms playing his flute for him? Tun…

1:41:16

Birthright, Part I! What started as an episode about Worf trying to find his father turned into a sort-of DS9 crossover where Julian Bashir tries to help Data figure out how to dream.

WYST: Interview with the Vampire [Pilot episode recap] 2:13:11

10M ago2:13:11

2:13:11

Interview with the Vampire! The 2022 take on this Anne Rice classic is quite a departure, so much so that the Rice estate even parted ways with AMC and the production of this show. It does take quite a few new liberties... Louis is black now? He owns brothels now? The story starts off with his brother still alive? Explicit gay scenes? A modern-day …

Pluto! A slavish adaptation of the reimagining of Atom (known as "Astro Boy" in the West) by Naoki Urasawa, Pluto has been called by many as the best anime on Netflix right now. Is that true?
