65. Death by Ceiling Rocks

Quick, put on your secret black leather uniform and prepare yourself for moral dubiousness as we prepare ourselves for the upcoming film- ‘Star Trek: Section 31.’ With the film debuting in just a few days after this episode drops, Miles and Charlie prepare themselves by choosing three episodes tangentially related to the forthcoming film. In ‘Inquisition,’ we and Julian Bashir meet Section 31 and all Bashir wants are Scone and Jams, then in ‘Yesterday’s Enterprise,’ we slip into an alternate universe/Tasha Yar fixfic and meet Captain Rachel Garrett (who will apparently be in this movie) and encounter that most deadly Star Trek threat… WALL ROCKS. Finally, in ‘Saints of Imperfection’ Captain Pike meets the worst kind of secret operatives, catty drama kids who can’t shut up about how secret they all are.

Will any of this actually relate to the film? We don’t know, but we’ve assembled a team of our own to talk about it in this episode!

57. Deepfake Riker (with Sean Corse)

INTERLOPER! We have an interloper in the podcast! It’s Sean Corse of Famicom Dojo and Two Boobs Watch the Tube fame, here in the spirit of Nerd & Tie unification.

This episode we’re looking at the Unification trilogy, a multi-part story that spans multiple Star Trek series and over 800 years! First up, Picard and Data go to Romulus to hunt down Spock, who might have turned traitor! We also have Riker chatting up a multi-armed widow and a junkyard guy who has way too many face-folds.

Then, we fast forward to Discovery in their grimdark future era and while unifying the Romulans and Vulcans is a good thing, this is actually still all about Michael. Oh, and Tilly, take the damn job already!

55. Kill God with a Fucking Rock!

Join the boys as they finally talk about Star Trek The Original Series’ second attempt at securing a series as we meet Captain James “R.” Kirk as he goes ‘Where No Man Has Gone Before’ and proceeds to meet our first Godlike being who needs a swift beating. Then, in Discovery’s ‘That Hope is You Part 1’ we heard into the 32nd Century, but discover that Star Wars-style wretched hives of scum and villainy still exist, but we finally get a chance to make the Ship’s Cat actually pull his weight around here. Finally to round it all off, we watch ‘Star Trek: Picard’s’ second season opener ‘The Stargazer’, and even technical problems with the call can’t stop us from realising that the show has some problems with repeating itself.
