Out of Contreks

Ep. 8: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I" (TNG S3E26)

It's episode 6's better half! We talk about Riker's ambition, a good Star Trek guest star and how the Borg complement the emotional arc of one of the best Next Generation episodes.

Ep. 7: "Court Martial" (TOS S1E20)

Who to trust, man or computer? Ryan and Brady disagree on the answer, and even on the validity of the question, in the show's first discussion of an original series episode. Come for the philosophical discussion, and stay for the least effective pick-up line of all time and ruminations on the future of paper.

Ep. 6: "The Best of Both Worlds Part II" (S4E01)

Just how big is the Mars Defense Perimeter? Do Borg have a secret flair for the dramatic? Ryan and Brady find out while discussing the second half of this classic TNG two-parter.

Ep. 5: "Sanctuary" (DS9 S2E10)

Brady and Ryan talk gender, societal obligation and a mishmash of other topics that come up in this mishmash of a Deep Space 9 episode.

Ep. 4: "The Big Goodbye" (TNG S1E12)

We dive into one of the very first holodeck episodes, and it's fun!

Ep. 3: "Human Error" (VOY S7E18)

In our first episode of Star Trek Voyager, we have a dignified discussion of the logistics and ethical ramifications of erotic holodeck activity.

Ep. 2: "Invasive Procedures" (DS9 S2E04)

On this episode, Ryan and Brady watch another, more representative DS9 entry and talk about male entitlement!

Ep. 1: "Tacking Into The Wind" (DS9 S7E22)

In our first episode, we are very confused by a climactic episode of the final season of Deep Space Nine, a show we've seen virtually none of. Find out what celebrity we think Weyoun looks like, and hear our inaugural discussion on the age-old question: "Is Worf good?"
