Freedom fighters or terrorists? Beefcake scenes. A mythological persona gaining traction in the quadrant. And The Kurgan! Can there really be only one? Especially if it involves desserts?

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the simmering effects 9/11 had on the writing and narrative course of the first season of Enterprise.

Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for a bite to eat, preconceived notions to be challenged and some curious discussion. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

Discovering Trek listeners... "it slimed me." Insulting your guests during first contact, having a stowaway that's sticky and slimy and crewmembers becoming part of a sentient web like creature are what this episode is all about.

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that and was this a Trek attempt to use a little alien homage? Maybe, because this episode made me wanna scream into space.

Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for some marshmallowy talk. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks, while Boimler and Rutherford are a little concerned that Mariner may a Section 31 Operative, they all go on an away mission and find a bunch of Ferengi trying to make profit off Mugatos. When all the Mugatos escape, they - well, you just have to see it to believe it!

Plus, Dr. T'Ana puts Tendi in charge of finishing up the crew physicals and you would think running a quick scan would be easy. Also, Captain Freeman is the target of a scam!

Oh boy. Discovering Trek listeners, join us as we learn a lot more about the Suliban. Not everyone has yellow eyes or genetic augmentation, as Archer and the crew find out. Travis and the Captain make a not so great first contact, but eyes and ears are gradually opened. A rescue mission and jail break? And hey, doesn’t Grat look familiar? Ziggy would give ya great odds on that.

In this episode, Co-hosts Sara and Kasey talk about all that plus the simmering effects 9/11 had on the writing of the first season of Enterprise.

Sara and Kasey hope you’ll join them on Discovering Trek: Enterprise for a bite to eat, preconceived notions to be challenged and some curious discussion. Come explore the First Frontier with us!

I, Excretus

play

09/30/21 • 27 min

This week on Star Trek: Lower Decks, a Starfleet Drill Instructor with ulterior motives arrives on the Cerritos to test the crew. The Lower Deckers and the senior staff switch roles and as one might expect, things don't go as they all hoped. The Borg, the Mirror Universe, and the Ancient West are all fair game in the holopods, but a real emergency with a Crystalline Entity will show just how special the crew of our favorite California Class Starship really is!

Bill, Dan, Sara and Kasey break down Episode #8 I, Excretus! Join us for some great fun and discussion!
