"Vox in Excelso" (Starfleet Academy S1E4)

The Klingons are back, and they’re not doing so hot! We discuss debate etiquette, podiums, who writes The Doctor’s introductions, and maybe a little cultural imperialism, Federation style. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Chekhov's Chunga Palm

Hello, Carol. This is a recording. At the tone, you can leave a message to request anything you might need. We’ll do our best to provide it. Our feelings for you haven’t changed, Carol. But after everything that’s happened, we just need a little space. Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Tony Sindelar, Moisés Chiullán and Glenn Fleishman.

"Vitus Reflux" (Starfleet Academy S1E3)

Like a mocking plant that just keeps growing, Vulcan Hello returns to break down the latest episode of “Starfleet Academy.” Why don’t they just play basketball? Why does Holly Hunter love furniture? Why should we try French-Klingon fusion? And who’s the sweaty man in that Mugato costume? Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Farm-to-Table Body Parts

Guillermo del Toro’s waited his whole life to make a “Frankenstein” movie, and now he’s done it. We carefully select the (Oscar-nominated!) film’s best bits, chop them up, and then sew them back together in the grossest way possible. (We know Del Toro would approve.) You don’t need to have a degree in Frankensteinology to take a seat at the lympahtic charcuterie board, but it helps! Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Brian Hamilton, Monty Ashley, Tony Sindelar and Moisés Chiullán.

"Beta Test" (Starfleet Academy S1E2)

It’s the second episode of “Starfleet Academy,” and things are picking up speed. Political negotiations via college debating society! Betazoid mental shields! Many, many, many robots and aliens. But is it too much, or just enough? We break it all down, reassess “Star Trek Voyager” and complain about theme songs, and ultimately make an Important Contribution To (Head) Canon with the introduction of Whale Academy. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

"Kids These Days" (Starfleet Academy S1E1)

A new “Star Trek” series arrives! Scott and Jason discuss their expectations for this new series, then dive in and break down their (surprising?) reactions to the first episode of “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.” [We’ll cover episode 2 in a few days, in a separate episode.] Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Basement

Listener Joel has discovered some Canadians referring to the first floor of a two-story house as a “basement.” Does this defy all reason? How low must you go to be a basement? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

The Amount of Ten in a Thing

Low Definition returns in a a special episode commemorating it’s tenth(ish) anniversary! Well, it’s not that special, in that there are still definitions to be determined, silliness to be had, and merriment to ensue, but that’s what you’re all here for anyway, right? Steve Lutz with Brian Hamilton, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Tiff Arment and Shelly Brisbin.

I Will Turn This Car Around

Live, from a car, your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are back to discuss the upcoming series Maul - Shadow Lord, for which a trailer has been released. Then we talk a bit about Dave Filoni’s transition to creative head of Lucasfilm and what it might mean for the future of Star Wars. Also, we try very hard not to crash into anything. Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

Draft Science

After 800 episodes, we are in serious danger of repeating ourselves, but that never stopped us before. Some of our most prolific panelists fulfill the prophesy and draft Incomparable drafts. Jason begs them to give him new ideas, because after 800, he’s almost run out. And we use our powers for good and evil to mark classic episodes for deletion. Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Kathy Campbell, Moisés Chiullán, Monty Ashley and Shelly Brisbin.
