Newbie Star Trek
Ricardo and Sara have never watched Star Trek before, so Marvin and Dan are guiding them through the entire franchise one episode at a time. The podcast covers Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, alternating by air date, with new episodes every Tuesday. Each episode features unhinged tangents and deep philosophical discussions sparked by the week's viewing. Newbie Star Trek is part of the Fugitive Frames network.

The Search, Part II! Odo finds his family and learns about Changelings and where he came from! How heartwarming!

NST: Ask a Trek Expert with Marc Scott Zicree
Ask a Trek Expert with Marc Scott Zicree! "First Contact" is considered one of the best episodes of TNG ever made, and "Far Beyond the Stars" is considered one of the best episodes of DS9 ever made, perhaps all of Star Trek. And Marc Scott Zicree wrote the story for BOTH of them! He's also had a very long writing career before and after that, including working on many beloved animated shows like H

NST: TNG - All Good Things... - Season 7, Episodes 25-26 (Series Finale)
All Good Things... must come to an end. Well, not the podcast, in fact we'll eventually be going through three shows at once: continuing DS9, starting Voyager, and livestreaming our discussions of TOS! But for now, our journey with TNG has come to an end. And what better way to end this crazy ride with a timey-wimey episode that jumps back and forth so wildly that that it would make Kurt Vonnegut

Emergence! Well, pretty much everyone on the Enterprise-D has had some sort of parent-related storyline this season. So why not have the Enterprise-D itself also finally have parent issues?

The Wire! A really bad headache leads to Garak finally opening up to Bashir about his past. Except he really doesn't since pretty much every single thing he says is a lie.

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part II - Season 2, Episode 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."

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part I - Season 2, Episode 20
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
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 - Dark Page - Season 7, Episode 7
Dark Page! The episode that inexplicably was not named "Dark Place" despite multiple characters saying "Dark Place" and not "Dark Page." Though I can understand why Star Trek was afraid to compete with Garth Marenghu. In any case, this is the episode famous for featuring Kirsten Dunst and revealing that Deanna had an older sister that passed away when she was just a little babby. But our hosts did
NST: DS9 - Melora - Season 2, Episode 6
Melora! Star Trek's re-attempt at telling a story about a disabled person! Because the original writer of this episode, Evan Carlos Somers, definitely didn't like the portrayal of disability in Ethics. Y'know, the one with Worf and the barrel.

Phantasms! That's right. The Deanna cake episode. And it comes with a new shirt from us! And also a bunch of other really seemingly random imagery that becomes over-explained by the time the episode wraps. But hey, it's fun to see Data answer a phone call from his chest, or see Beverly drink out Riker's brains through a straw, or seeing Sigmund Freud tell Data to kill them all. Y'know, the usual.
NST: DS9 - Cardassians - Season 2, Episode 5
Cardassians! The most generic title of any Star Trek episode ever? Seriously, what would you guess that this episode would be about from a title like "Cardassians"? If you guessed a child custody battle between a Bajoran stepfather and a Cardassian politican over the politician's biological son combined with a romping adventure with Julian and Garak, then you're a filthy cheater who's already seen

So Picard's murdered, Riker has to solve his mystery, he gets captured by Richard Lynch, and Data ends up acting captain, doing the Mr. Burns fingers. Oh and Picard un-dies.
