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

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

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

More Section 31 Content Than is at All Deserved
Because he’s a glutton for punishment Wade recorded a podcast about Section 31. Twice. First, it’s a grand return to Star Trek for the main Kickers of Elves feed. But because you deserv…

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

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

Fanart in a meme template from S_P_Burke
S_P_Burke penned meme template of two people yelling at a cat. It is Star Trek Lower Decks themed and shows on the left panel the human and Orian characters Bekket Marriner (Left foreground, yelling and pointing off panel to the right) and D'Vana Tendi (right/center back ground, appears concerned). On the right panel shows the Caitian character, Dr T'Ana (center foreground at a table, looking smug and bedraggled).

I'd trade EVERY CGI shot on Star Trek Discovery for better writing. AND the Volume.

Among my biggest beefs with Discovery was that the galaxy was such a tiny place. That’s only partly the fault of the spore drive if the threat/season macguffin can chase you from one end to the other at the speed of plot.
