  Episode 442: Oh, A VERY Confused Trek

  Aug 20, 20261h 11m

  There's tonal whiplash and then there's the absolute disaster of a clustered mess that is "Stardust City Rag". It's a comedy heist, except we opened on some of the most needlessly explicit violence in the franchise's history! There's wacky accents and also Seven of Nine is in a REALLY dark place! Elnor is confused by the great big world and Raffi is going through a personal crisis! It's like they threw five scripts into a blender and hit purée. Also this week: effort for nothing, killed by a hat, and Don Knotts! [SCR: 02:21]

  Episode 441: Full Offense, And

  Aug 13, 202656 min

  Chris just DOES NOT shut up this week about all the problems he had with "Absolute Candor", a side quest Picard drags the crew on despite knowing the urgency of his main quest. But is that more annoying or Agnes's increasing self-conscious quirkiness? You decide! While Picard deals with ANOTHER aspect of his tedious guilt, Soji is beginning to figure out something might be amiss with her own life. Also this week: unnecessary relationship, Colonizer Picard, and who's HE? [Absolute Candor: 00:29]

  Episode 440: A Very Smelly One

  Aug 6, 202653 min

  In "The End Is the Beginning," season 1 finally kicks off! Sort of? I guess? Picard whips out his powers of manipulation to take advantage of an old friend in a vulnerable place right before his servants murder the crap out of a bunch of people! He's...he's the hero, though, we promise. And Soji meets a woman on the Borg cube who reacts REALLY poorly to a tarot reading. Also this week: Trekfowars, capitalism, and DoorDash! [TEITB: 01:20]

  Episode 439: The Sheer Hubris Episode

  Jul 30, 202656 min

  Yeah, it's this one. Where the writers decided trying was too much effort and just make it so anyone who actually has a good counterpoint to Picard's bloated ego and self-righteousness is pointlessly racist or mean to androids so you have to side with him. Tho it's still more effort than they put into forensics, which they waved away with a magic murder-solving ray. Oh, and it's called "Maps and Legends". Also this week: the EXTRA secret police, genre drop, and awful editing. [Maps and Legends: 00:52]

  Episode 438: Where in The Alpha Quadrant Is Bruce Maddox?

  Jul 23, 20261h 15m

  Oh God it's time for "Picard". In "Remembrance" an aging Jean-Luc is mostly sad and regretting everything, until a mysterious young woman shows up and explodes in a burst of regret so huge it snaps JLP out of his stupor! He's going to get to the bottom of this mystery, which somehow involves Romulans, the Borg, Data, and Bruce Maddox! No this isn't just too much at once, what do you mean? Also this week: hot housekeepers, backwards writing, and a very boring unique necklace! [Remembrance: 03:10]
