NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part II - Season 2, Episode 21 Jun 9, 2026 01:15:21 The Maquis, Part II! So, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, the actual best part of this episode is Sisko giving his famous "saint in paradise" speech, but other than that, uuuh... let's just say that the main antagonist got so annoying that even Michael Piller was like, "yeah, we should've killed him off."   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

NST: TNG - Firstborn - Season 7, Episode 21 Jun 2, 2026 02:02:08 Firstborn! The one where Worf's parenting got so bad that Alexander had to go back in time to become his own better dad.

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part I - Season 2, Episode 20 May 26, 2026 01:22:48 The Maquis, Part I! TNG creates the problem, and DS9 has to fix it. That's right, the Cardassian border dispute that Captain Picard thought they had resolved in Journey's End turns into a bigger problems for the actual colonists in DS9. Surely Sikso's old friend that shows up in this episode won't end up being secretly part of the Federation resistance movement named after the French Resistance du
NST: TNG - Journey's End - Season 7, Episode 20 May 19, 2026 01:36:51 Journey's End! Y'know, the idea of Wesley quitting Starfleet because he wants to pursue his own path in life is actually kind of a neat idea for a TNG episode. It's just too bad that it's wrapped up with weird American Indian cultural appropriation and, uh, an overall kinda bad script.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

NST: TNG - Genesis - Season 7, Episode 19 May 5, 2026 01:40:24 Genesis! Is TNG capable of pulling off a schlocky homage to 80's-style B-horror-movies?

NST: DS9 - Profit and Loss - Season 2, Episode 18 Apr 28, 2026 01:33:59 Profit and Loss! What happens when the writers of DS9 do a straight-up rip-off of Casablanca using Garak, Quark, and Quark's long-lost Cardassian lover? Well, they're forced to re-write it into something legally distinct enough to prevent a potential lawsuit.     We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

NST: TNG - Eye of the Beholder - Season 7, Episode 18 Apr 21, 2026 01:50:25 Eye of the Beholder! When Lieutenant Dan decides to eviscerate himself in a plasma conduit, Detective Commander Deanna Troi is on the case! But what dark empathic secrets will the nacelle tube hold?

NST: DS9 - Playing God - Season 2, Episode 17 Apr 7, 2026 01:23:47 Playing God! Dax gets an intern, and he's working really hard for a good letter of recommendation for the Trill joining program. How quaint. Also, there's a pocket universe on DS9 that threatens to expand and destroy the entire star system. Huh. Also, Jake is dating a Dabo girl. Wow! All of these are treated with the same level of importance. Yes.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Bot
NST: Star Trek: Resurgence Apr 1, 2026 10:00:38 Star Trek: Resurgence! The fellas who used to work for Telltale Games decided to make their own game, with Tongo and Dabo girls! But, basically, they decided to take that one terrible TNG episode that introduced the Ferengi and then turn that old guy who shows up in it into the sickest Star Trek guy ever. Also, Spider-Man is here! Whoa! And other cameos! It's a Star Trek fanfic come to life! April
NST: TNG - Masks - Season 7, Episode 17 Mar 24, 2026 01:23:39 Masks! Once again, a Star Trek crew is taken over by the memories of some sort of alien archive and are forced to jump through hoops in order to exorcise the memory ghosts.
