Podcast 120: Escallent!

You wanted it! You got it! Voyager begins! And with it, hot escalator action! This week we were also joined (Trilled, as it were) by the illustrious Justin, the master chief of the Facebook page. His hatred of Voyager is so severe that he's seen every episode a mere three times. Fun is had. You will have fun listening or we'll refund the cost of the download. Strangely, this makes the second Justin to provide co-hosting duties. Any more Justins out there? Chances are, you'll be running the show soon.

Podcast 118: tIn mIn Hegh

Every few years we have to talk about Depeche Mode quite a bit. It's impossible to calculate just how many ways the cultures of Depeche Mode and Star Trek overlap. If you wanna get right into the trekkin', go ahead and skip the first half hour. Eventually we tackle parts 5-8 of the big DS9 finale.

Podcast 116: Love and Laas

It's seriously quite scary how close to the end we are to the end of DS9. Almost as scary as how quickly Ezri episodes got tiresome. The promised Vic Fontaine vs. Sloane smackdown wasn't delivered, but at least that spread the characters over more than one episode.

Oh, btw, we recorded this about a week ago. That means we hilariously talked about Carrie Fisher being in the new Star Wars when it was still more semi-official.

Podcast breakdown:

Contribute to Trekoff: The Motion Picture!

Here are Patrick's predictions for the next four episodes:

Penumbra: since the title means 'half out of the light', the half-black, half-white guys from the Original Series return and wreak havoc with their moralizing!

'Til Death do us Part': Odo and Laas decide they can't live without each other, and go on to create a new Link, take over the Dominion and wreak havoc!

Strange Bedfellows: Weyoun and Damar decide to give into their feelings, go rogue from the Dominion and wreak havoc across the galaxy!

The Changing Face of Evil: the Founder Leader gets infected with multiple personalities, starts shapeshifting randomly, goes manic, leaves the Dominion and wreaks havoc!

Podcast 115: Vic It Up

Isn't it funny that as much as we love Star Trek, the un-Star Trekkiest things are what we most look forward to seeing? Vic Fontaine, this one's for you. Btw, if you bother listening to the outtakes, we start by watching highlights of Russian meteor footage. That may be slightly confusing out of context.

Podcast 114: When Someone Asks If You're a God...

We took a 40-minute chew the fat chat this time around since it's been so long. Obviously we needed to weigh in a little on the whole J.J. Abrams Star Wars thing, so consider listening to that before skipping ahead to 39:49 to listen to us talk and promptly forget about the episode "Chrysalis." Moving on -- Nog loses his leg (spoiler). It's good to be back!

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH, J.J. Abrams, Depeche Mode, Les Misérables, AMC shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Christmas, House of Cards, books
