We are still being dogged by technical issues at all times. But despite that, a new episode came out today! @andywclift.bsky.social joins us to look at Through the Valley of Shadows, a couple of great scenes surrounded by a so-so episode of Discovery! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek
New episode! We look at Perpetual Infinity, an episode so interesting, that we discuss many other TV shows and films instead. Like, more than usual. #StarTrek

Our #Babylon5 season 3 journey continues on A Dream Given Form, and it was a great chat as always discussing A Day in the Strife with @lukewinch.bsky.social and @ajblack.bsky.social!
New episode!

Ta'Lon returns, the workers are on strike, and #Babylon5 has 24 hours before an alien probe destroys them! @ajblack.bsky.social joins @bazgreenland.bsky.social & @lukewinch.bsky.social to talk A Day in the Strife!

New episode! We look at The Red Angel, an episode that is… eh, it happened. After some highs, it seems season two of Discovery is going back down.

Also, our previous episode came out, but we forgot to promote it. So listen to that too.

Thank you! We appreciate it.
Hey folks. Just a quick one to say that there’s no episode this week. We do have one recorded and edited, but we’ve decided to go to a bi-weekly release schedule for a bit. We’ve got a couple of holidays interfering with recording this month, and we want to try and avoid more large gaps. Hopefully.
It has been two years since @drivaaar.bsky.social joined us for a look through the racist window. Good time. Have a listen to our episode on Divergence, the climax to Enterprise’s bumpy headed Klingon storyline.

New episode! Rachel England joins us to watch If Memory Serves. This would be a terrible episode to introduce someone to Star Trek with. It’s also Rachel’s introduction to Star Trek. Oops. Our bad! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #Discovery #podcast #StarTrekpodcast
Also, thank you for bearing with us. There were a lot of technical issues with this one, and editing around them was time consuming. You’ll still hear the odd bit of bleed and some poor audio, but we’ve done what we can.
What’s this? Did we release a new episode? You bet your sweet, sweet ass we did. We look at Light and Shadows, as Spock finally turns up in Discovery! Plus! Pike and Tyler fight a future squid! Wherever you get your podcasts.
We have a new episode coming out on Wednesday! Finally!

And, in the meantime, today is four years since we released one of our very best. As you wait for the new episode, why not revisit Tarquin’s Castle?

We may not have released a new episode recently, but Eliot has released new music. Here’s a new tune from him, Meteoric.

We want to say sorry that we haven’t released a new episode for a few weeks. We’ve been having increasingly large technical issues with each of our last few episodes. The current one has been the worst, and editing it is proving to be a nightmare. But we’re getting there. It’s coming soon.
New episode! We watch The Sound of Thunder, and all think it’s good actually?!?! Also, there’s some chewing, and we’re sorry. But also not sorry, as the chocolate was delicious. #StarTrek
We forgot to promote it yesterday, but new episode! We look at Saints of Imperfection, as the Discovery crew journey into the mycelial network to recover one of their own. And get a delightful extra. Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek
It has been four years to the day since we looked at the Enterprise episode Sleeping Dogs. In lieu of a new episode this week, why not revisit it?

We think (strong emphasis on think) we have figured out what was going wrong, so hopefully we can get it sorted the third time. But you’ll have to be patient with us. So sorry again. This is what happens when you let three nerds with very little tech savvy run their own show.
Hey folks. There won’t be an episode next week. PJ has attempted to edit it twice, and twice, audacity has just deleted all the audio. We still have the raw recordings, but PJ will need to start the editing again, for the third time, and just doesn’t have time to finish it before Wednesday. Sorry!
New episode day! We watch An Obol for Charon (don’t pay the ferryman). And it turns out, PJ and Mat have been torturing Eliot with sub-par #StarTrek for so long, that the poor man has become exasperated to the point of forgetting how mysteries work. Bless.
In our most recent episode, @mattroy.bsky.social mentioned that he wrote and drew a comic about Darren Aronofsky. Well, here it is.
New episode! We watch Point of Light, an episode which features some cool stuff, some weird stuff, some lame stuff, and evil Fozzy being sent to the Phantom Zone. Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek
In our latest episode, we discussed actuaries. What are they? What do they do? Well, our own Mat Troy thinks he knows. He may have even seen one. Here is his drawing of an actuary.
In our most recent episode, the infamous Nicholas Cage remake of The Wicker Man came up, as did that someone had recut the trailer as a romcom. Well, here it is.

Look, it’s a bank holiday week, and we’re all discombobulated, so we forgot to promote our new episode yesterday. Anyway…

@milmo.bsky.social is back on the show, as we look at New Eden! An episode that divides opinion among us. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.
