  Oct 1, 20261h 26m

  Prepare yourself for the epic conclusion to Season 1 of "Star Trek: Picard" in "Et In Arcadio Ego, Part 2"! Charge up for the excitement that's been building all season to be unleashed in a torrent of payoff! Will any of it land, or will it all just kind of fizzle out in the face of an incredibly stupid magical gambit? Also this week: RIP Picard, "Nemesis" apologies, and wrapping the season! [EIAE2: 01:15] [S.1 wrap: 53:27] [Nothing more to see: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/829198012943302656/picard-season-1-sheer-fucking-umbrage ]

  Episode 447: L'eggo My Arcadia Ego

  Sep 24, 20261h 3m

  We're in the homestretch of season one with "Et in Arcadia Ego, Pt. 1"! Come to the shoes-off homeworld of the synths, which it turns out is overseen by YET ANOTHER SOONG. Can't get away from these sociopaths no matter how hard we try. You also can't escape the fact that they love making transparently evil androids. Also this week: they kind of remembered the storms, brainitis, mid "Mass Effect". [EIAE1: 01:16]

  Episode 446: The Deep Dark Secret of Whatever

  Sep 17, 202653 min

  We're speeding towards the end of season one in "Broken Pieces" and it's time for dramatic backstory reveals! Aren't you excited?! Hello? Anyone...? Don't you suddenly want to care about Narissa a bit more now that we know her backstory? No, you still think she's awful? OK, well, isn't it neat finding out why Rios is so messed up? What's that? You find it convenient how much it ties into the overall season plot? Hmm. Yeah, look, I got nothing, just enjoy some holograms. Also this week: going to the office, everything's so tidy, and a massively wasted opportunity. [Broken Pieces: 01:16]

  Episode 445: Hear Us Out!

  Sep 10, 20261h 27m

  60 years ago, "Star Trek" premiered. 10 years ago, the second-most-important "Star Trek"–related thing premiered. Yes, it's somehow been a DECADE of "A Star To Steer Her By"! We're flexing our usual anniversary fanfics to a whole new level by pitching entirely new series! With the future of the franchise very vague right now, we're stepping in to show the suits at Paramount how it's done! Caitlin brings us an unexpected legacy sequel spun off from her favorite show! Chris goes traditional! Ames goes experimental! And Jake blows his chance to make something about the Iconians! Thank you all for being with us all this time. [Caitlin: 05:18] [Chris: 17:38] [Ames: 29:48] [Jake: 55:16] [Ames's Pitch: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/827309305865863168/series-pitch-star-trek-relativity] [Jake's Pitch: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/827309468184395777/series-pitch-star-trek-concord]

  Episode 444: Because The Plot Needed to Happen

  Sep 3, 202657 min

  The cracks are really showing this week in "Nepenthe". Character motivations, actions, and the location of props all just seem to exist because the writers need them to, and not because it feels natural or rational. But hey, ignore all that because Riker and Troi are here! And it's probably some of the best writing the entire franchise has given the poor woman. Unfortunately that is easy to miss since it appears alongside one of the most egregious just-for-shock-value moments in the series. Also this week: Clint Frakes, a very convenient illness, and an even MORE convenient tag! [Nepenthe: 01:35]
