Datalore/Angel One (S1, E12/E13)

Data finds the psychotic, murdering twin brother he always wanted! Troi is once again missing. For reasons. Meanwhile, we take a trip to Angel One and see if toxic femininity is even a thing? Also, as long predicted, if Beverly Crusher were on the case of COVID, she’d have had the thing wrapped up in 44 minutes. No two-parter needed. Her hair would be perfect the entire time.

Plenty of new things coming to partyapocalypse.com in the coming weeks! First thing out of the gate? The Once and Future Orson Welles is now available in Kindle and paperback editions. Buy it now!

Haven/The Big Goodbye (S1, E10/E11)

Is Lwaxana Troi just that horny, or is some secret genius, like a sex Columbo? Your away team will ponder that question and more before determining what super-weird specialization (beyond fiction expert) we’d all take on the Enterprise-D. If xenocryptozoologist wasn’t a word before, it is now.

The Battle/Hide and Q (S1, E8/E9)

The recording space is upgraded! Unfortunately, with Omicron still a very real thing, your Away Team (and special guest Acting Ensign CJ) are masking up for the show. Just think of it as pop filters that fit directly over your face. Oh, they also limit the spread of certain acute respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, we revel in the advances the Ferengi alliance (and Daimon Excedrin) have made in headache technology, and reckon with a very real question: Would we take the powers of the Q? and Would we accept the gift of a newly-minted Q?

Lonely Among Us/Justice (S1, E6/E7)

Thrill as the Away Team tries to negotiate their way out of the brain cloud caused by Lonely Among Us being one of the least memorable episodes of television ever produced. We’re all thinking that Data needs to understand when he’s on the clock and when he can dress up as Sherlock Holmes. He’ll get there. Also, we hit our first planet of infantilized sex crazed natives, and take some comfort that consent is the order of the day, and the men are just as infantilized as the women. For the life of us, we still can’t figure out just why the Federation was visiting the Edo in the first place.

The Last Outpost/Where No One Has Gone Before (S1, E4/E5)

We meet the Ferengi. They'll get… better? Also, we spend more time than we thought we would talking about how good a guy Riker is during our discussion of “Where No One Has Gone Before.” Soup. SOUP!

Medical Emergency, Part 11 - Star Trek: Prodigy

While COVID is still something we must all deal with (it is bad; you should get your shot and your booster; there will be a test on this material later) Captain Lora and First Officer Mac take a moment to reckon with the newest additions to the Star Trek family, the precocious rebels of the USS Protostar! While the show may not be built with them in mind, that doesn’t mean they can’t (or won’t) enjoy it! Take that as an object lesson for your forthcoming complaints about any new Star Trek about which you might air grievance!

The Naked Now/Code of Honor (S1, E2/E3)

Here’s the good news: our friends on The Next Generation don’t think much of Code of Honor, either. It’s also the worst episode they ever ended up doing. We have nowhere to go but up from here.

In the meantime, enjoy The Naked Now for what it is, the episode that launched a thousand ‘ships… Why they decided to go with this storyline for their first episode after the pilot is anyone’s guess.

TNG: Encounter at Farpoint (S1, E1)

Your Away Team flashes foward to the future of the 24th Century and joins Jean-Luc Picard and crew in the 2-hour series premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The show may have a ways to go (they do have a long journey ahead of them, and many of their missions will be far more interesting…) but there’s plenty to like here, and the future is looking bright here on The Holodeck is Broken.

Also, during our commercial break, Captain Lora and First Officer Mac celebrate ten years of marriage by renewing their vows in a traditional—not informal, and there is a difference—Klingon ceremony, because of course they did.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

The Away Team finishes up with the Original Series crew, and boy do, they go out on top. They talk about anti-racism, tracking devices, the mind-boggling continuity of digital clocks, and our excitement for our upcoming re-watch of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Yes, we'll watch “Code of Honor.” No, we're not thrilled about it, either.

Whales! Whales? Whaleswhaleswhaleswhales.

Ahem.

Join your Away Team as we go searching for Nooclear Wessels, Transparent Aluminum, and vintage VCR repair in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). Eddie Murphy, what are you doing here?

Not that this is what the movie is *about*, but Bones is a good doctor this time around. Who knew?

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

Join your Away Team as we slap on our dickie-bows, contemplate our next career opening galaxy-wide gyms, and decide that the Trek fandom is ultimately pretty great. Also, Leonard Nimoy directed a movie which flies directly in the face of the “odd number” Trek movie curse… I mean, it’s got both Walter Koenig in the most precious outfit one can imagine and Christopher Lloyd. How could you go wrong?

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

The time has come! Revel in your Away Team’s journey into the second Star Trek movie! Eris is a full-convert to the cult of Meyer, and they play another round of The Price is Right: Movie Budget Edition. Try not to stare at Montalbán’s boobies, if you please.

Just go ahead and listen to the episode. We loved it a lot. Z even liked it!

We’ll be taking our next airdate off to coordinate our viewing of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) with the upcoming Fathom Events screenings. In the meantime, watch this space for some Trek-related blogs coming soon!

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Your Away Team takes the super-secret wormhole from the beginning of Season 3 straight through to the first (and certainly most relatively expensive) of the Star Trek movies with 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture. There are plenty of comparisons, as it turns out.

After spending some time staring at clouds, playing a few rounds of The Price Is Right (movie budget edition), and somehow descending into a war of words about the virtues of Tarzan (1999?) we are heartened by the looming threat of Khan ahead.

Assignment: Earth/Spock's Brain

Your Away Team finishes season 2 with the backdoor pilot (and… ahem… Roddenberry’s best shot at trying to steal Doctor Who from the Brits) with “Assignment: Earth.” We then begin are harrowing journey through season 3 with the maligned, mocked, and marginal Spock’s Brain…

After which we make a fateful decision about the future of our journey through the final frontier. See you next time for the movies!

The Ultimate Computer/Bread and Circuses

This week, your Away Team takes in the story of a computer James T. Kirk argues with, and an alien planet with a society modeled off of an old human culture…

…which hardly distinguishes it from the rest of The Original Series. Season 3 now looms over us like the specter of death!

By Any Other Name/The Omega Glory

Well, the writing’s on the wall. With NBC right on the precipice of cancelling our beloved Star Trek, Roddenberry decides to go full Kurtz and give us the episode no one wanted, culminating in proud Canadian William Shatner looking at an American Flag as if it was wearing a miniskirt.

No, really. Also, we took a look at “By Any Other Name,” which most of us kinda liked.

Kirk totally accept the argument that Nazi Germany was super-efficient and would have worked if given a chance! No, really. That’s what “Patterns of Force” is about. :Kif sigh:

Your away team mourns the fact that it will be a very long time indeed before they see any more tribbles. Sadly, the Gamesters of Try-skelly-en (if we're to believe Captain Kirk's pronunciation) is of no help at all. Then they spend more than a little bit of time marveling at Kirk’s unusually fuzzy hat.
