Second Chances! The episode that definitively proves that the transporter is just a cloning machine.

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

2M 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

2M 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:/…

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…

NST: TNG - The Chase - Season 6, Episode 20 1:37:19

4M 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?

1:28:28

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.

5M ago1:36:17

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…

1:41:59

TNG Season 1 Tier List! Dan and Marvin try something a little different... It's been a hot minute since any of us have revisited TNG season 1, a season considered so bad by most Trek fans that they often recommend that new viewers should skip the entire season.

WYST: The Penguin [Pilot episode recap] 1:18:33

7M ago1:18:33

7M ago1:41:16

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. Yeah, kind of a weird mash-up. Uh, fathers, I guess! Become a member of our YouTube channel and get access to a bunch of perks, including early access to new episodes…

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

8M 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 …

WYST: Pluto [Pilot episode recap] 1:42:55

1:42:55

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? What do we think? Dan hosts this episode and guides Sara and Marvin into the world of Pluto, a grittier, more realistic take on the anime that was originally …

1:17:44

Ship in a Bottle! Moriarty finally returns! Not because Picard finally brought him back after forgetting about his for four years, but because the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle estate finally allowed him out of the bag!

NST: DS9 - Babel - Season 1, Episode 5 1:42:45

NST: DS9 - A Man Alone - Season 1, Episode 4 1:36:17

10M ago1:36:17

1:36:17

A Man Alone! A classic murder mystery plot! Except, maybe, it's not so classic... Odo is immediately implicated, but things don't play out as they seem. Also, Bashir remains super into Jadzia. And I guess Keiko is opening a school. But look over there, it's Quark being really cool! What a show! Become a member of our YouTube channel and get access …

NST: TNG - Chain of Command, Part II - Season 6, Episode 11 1:18:23

12M ago1:18:23

1:18:23

Chain of Command, Part II! The famous one about four lights. It's widely considered one of the best Star Trek episodes of all time, but surprisingly (or unsurprisingly?) the NST crew has some dissenting opinions.

The Quality of Life! After a long hiatus, we're back! And this one's a doozy, what seems to be a remake of The Measure of a Man but this time with cute little robots with Kirby feet that are being made to perform slave labor. Will the robots be saved this episode? What about Picard and Geordi? What about Riker, Worf, and Geordi's beards? What about…

The Sopranos! Arguably the show that started the entire "prestige era" of television.
