194: Two Guys, a Ship, and a Bourbon Bottle
Shuttlepod One. Some of the best episodes of Star Trek are heavy on dialogue and light on action. But taking two characters and shoving them into a tiny space for 45 minutes was gutsy. We discuss Enterprise’s very small bottle show.
193: He's a Fake!
Deadlock. Voyager is known for telling stories that rely heavily on technobabble, when the ship gets duplicated, you kind of have to. We discuss the case of the two Voyagers and Harry Kim’s dopplegänger.
192: Even the Devil Believes
In the Hands of the Prophets. To end DS9’s first season, the writers set the tone for the rest of the series. We discuss how they brought together Federation science and Bajor’s religion in a clash of philosophies.
191: Robotic Loverboy
In Theory. The last person you’d expect to be looking for love on the Enterprise is Data. But that’s just what happens in “In Theory.” We discuss our robotic loverboy, the Riker book of moves, and much more.
190: The New Star Trek Series, with Larry Nemecek
A Closer Look at CBS’s Plans. Star Trek historian Larry Nemecek joins us to break down the possibilities for this new Star Trek series and explore the nuts and bolts of the development process.
189: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Topaline!
Friday’s Child. When fans think of Klingon episodes on TOS, they tend to forget the second appearance of the classic villains. We’re joined by Larry Nemecek to discuss the Bones story that also built upon “Errand of Mercy.”
188: The Law Firm of T’Pol & T’Pol
E2. During Enterprise’s third season, the crew’s mission to find the Xindi superweapon took an unexpected turn when they encountered … themselves. We discuss how the time travel story build character.
187: We’re Gonna Edit Out All This Klingon Stuff, Right?
Mike Sussman talks Voyager Season Seven. As Voyager entered its final season, fans had a lot of questions. We’re joined by someone who was there in the writers room to find out how the season came together.
186: Giant Life-Altering Enigma
The Visitor. One of Deep Space Nine’s most loved episodes is an enigma in and of itself. We discuss the unusual concept, the performances of Tony Todd and Rachel Robinson, the father-son relationship, and much more.
185: Space Mystery Inc.
Devil’s Due. We’ve all heard the expression “selling your soul to the Devil.” The people of Ventax II took this perhaps too literally. Who can save the day? Kirk, of course. We mean Picard. This is a TNG episode, after all. Only it isn’t.
