There’s only room in my life for one decade running Star Trek podcast, hosted by a former resident of Greenpoint, Brooklyn

What won’t they let you hear from “bisexual podcaster*” Sean Perrotta?

*per his nonexistent Wikipedia page

A picture of Starfleet cadet Wesley Crusher. In the top right corner is a circular picture of Alice Cooper singing into a microphone. Below are the lyrics:

I'm Eighteen
I get confused everyday 
Eighteen 
I just don't know what to say 
Eighteen 
I gotta get away
I'll go running to outer space
Oh, yeah!

I used that for Cadet Wesley once. Haha

We don’t have the juice to get the producers on board, but have Rufus wainwright cover it for the s2 premiere. Close the season/show(?) with “Schools Out”

It just makes sense.

Some of us dislike it for the right reasons.

Riker’s Google search history: “How do you say ‘polycule’ in Klingon?”

sometimes a polycule is a klingon warrior, his beautiful transgender wife, a former terrorist, a bucket of goo, and the local bar owner

It’s been … mixed I’ll admit. I’ll say, it at least knows what it’s trying to be and imo it’s pulling that off with more coherence than Discovery- a mess that rebooted itself nearly every season. Whether it’s what anyone wants? Well that’s more subjective than whatever “good writing” is

Star Trek Resignation: My Starfleet Academia: Good Vibes and a Klingon Refuge Crisis (Starfleet Academy S1E04) We're turning things around here. No more negativity. Good Vibes only! It's a good thing we like this episode, "Vox in Excelso" What happened with Klingons after Star Trek Discovery left them behind i...

Been a while since we released coverage of an episode before the next one aired. Feels good to be on top of it. Nice vibes.
Did you catch that Jay-den has two dads?

Not fair. Plenty of other Star Trek was unsubtle and lacking nuance. Sometimes it’s even part of the charm

A Prologue, of sorts YouTube video by Kickers of Elves

We did it. We diagnosed exactly what is wrong with the current state of media criticism. We can even “explain” it in a YouTube video under 20 minutes!
Not great for seo but respectful of your time and intelligence

Strange New Lows | Los Angeles Review of Books Adam Kotsko boldly goes into season three of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” with high expectations.

Even the LARB had to get in on kicking s3 of Strange New Worlds while it was down.
Turns out though if you wanted to hear most of the points they made, you could have listened to a podcast with even more insights. And more obscenities and yelling!

After ten years of the shame and ignominy of having a podcast, I’ve found that while consistency may indeed be key, the trick to longevity is actually contempt for release schedules and listener whims.

Oh the audience fucking hates that though. That’s true.

We’ve been watching more movies and talking about them on the main feed lately. Especially proud of all the insights Hugh had to the John Ford of it all in Eddington, which you should go see before listening to our dumb podcast

Rip to a real one. Also the spoonhead (pardon the slur) in one of the best DS9 eps, Duet (s1e19), and also the judge from Ghostbusters

So here I am reminding you of that Star Trek: Section 31 movie.

Multiple perspectives from every podcast ever.

All must suffer.

It never ends. Well, Star Trek might
