For five years we toiled over Star Trek: DS9 without break or surcease. Now we stretch lazily and do whatever we want.

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

How you can tell that a lot of the haters haven’t even watched what they’re complaining about in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy…
I’m frankly amazed that Trekkie internet hot zones aren’t mentioning the totally unnecessary Klingon polycule in episode 4

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?

I just-realized that all the guys who are review-bombing STARFLEET ACADEMY are also review-fluffing MELANIA.

Here’s the thing : Starfleet Academy is good when you stop being a little bitch and listen to what is being said.

There’s a new season of Star Trek Resignation out there on that Starfleet Academy show. I know you don’t listen. We don’t have the juice to get things done, but you know who does…?

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

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

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

A photo of a young David Lynch sitting on a couch with five Woody Woodpecker dolls, and the following text: David Lynch is recalling a day in 1981 when, he says, he "rescued" five Woody Woodpecker toys that he saw hanging up as he drove past a petrol station. "I screech on the brakes, I do a U-turn, go back and I buy them and I save their lives," he says seriously. "I named them Chucko, Buster, Pete, Bob and Dan and they were my boys and they were in my office. They were my dear friends for a while but certain traits started coming out and they became not so nice." Looking straight ahead he says with a grim finality: "They are not in my life anymore."

Honor his memory by doing something strange, unraveling a riddle within yourself, and working on your favorite projects.

We’re podcasting Lower Decks, and sure it’s all over now, but you’ll have to wait til we get to the finale. This is probably the most nsfw we’ve been. Sorry and/or you’re welcome to those with feelings about echidnas and Klingon sex practices
