PICARD s2e4 "Watcher"

The PICARD season two hot streak starts to falter as Matt and Andy feel their complaint muscles twitching: why is young Guinan younger than Twain-era Guinan?  Why do they keep repeating the same plot beats in the episode over and over?  And why would you leave Jurati alone with the Borg Queen?  Buckle up for unanswerable timeline talk, folks!

Change to Priority One Messages

This is a special, clear version of the previous pointlessly long-winded post! 🙂 (I deleted the old one, so feel free to sound off on your ideas and jokes again here.)

Basically, everything is the same as before, except now we'll be posting the actual main episode content (currently TNG) on the Priority One Message post AND the President's Circle gets access to that post earlier than t...

DISCOVERY s4e2 "Anomaly"

Look out, Disco - there's a thing out there!  Matt hates it and the new uniforms, Andy likes the uniforms and is touched by the Book subplot, and does everybody's hair look great in this episode?

PICARD s2e3 "Assimilation"

The Picard crew shoot back to the past, as Jurati shows she's more than just comic relief, and Seven finally gets an emotional vacation.  Matt meanwhile enjoys the Latin stylings of the subplot and Andy is disappointed with the Borg Queen's return to form.  

Post your questions/comments here for the next episode of Picard, coming next week!

ENTERPRISE 1701D WALKING TRAIL CONCEPT SKETCH

As requested, in reference to a HAIL from Andy Morgan on TNC episode on "Masks": 

"Matt has mentioned how much he loved the lighting in Star Trek: Generations so much (where nearby suns and nebula light the interior of the ship).

It made me wonder if he knows about my favorite unseen part of the Enterprise D: a “walking trail” on the edge of the ship’s saucer section?

PICARD s2e2 "Penance"

[VOYAGER 7th season SPOILER in pod at 1:58:30-1:59:30 for those who practice]

Matt and Andy discuss the new dark hellhole of a universe Picard has found himself in, as well as plot rip-offs vs. effective re-explorations, fine performances, and a behind-the-scenes enigma to be explored!   

Usually don't have the episode discussion start time on here, but this hailbag is a l...

DISCOVERY s4e1 "Kobayashi Maru"

Matt and Andy TAKE COMMAND for season 4 of Discovery. which has a whole new Captain and uniform (for Burnham, like seven costume changes).  And are they starting to soften on Disco?  Is this the same effect as TNG's uniform switch?

ENTERPRISE s2e8 “The Communicator”

It's the classic "I lost my keys and destroyed a civilization" ep!  Reed continues to be the least useful, most ready-to-throw-in-the-towel tactical (/armory) officer in the history of Trek (amongst a bunch of runner-ups), the boys discuss the T'Pol emotiveness issue, and Mayweather once again is one of the more competent, if not interesting, crew members.

TNC on DISCOVERY poll

We're not sure we have any control over how salty we get as we make our way through the controversial New Trek show "Star Trek : Discovery" but we thought we'd take your temperature anyway, as it's certainly not a conscious intention to yuck anybody's yum.  Do you feel we're:
