    #008 - "Star Trek" Primer - Part 2 of 2

    Nick & Todd continue their discussion of the "Star Trek" franchise. - What was Nick's hot take about "TNG" season 2, teased at the end of Part 1? - What "TNG" season 2 improvements did Nick point out? - Which "TNG" episodes from each season did Nick highlight? - Nick & Todd agree that "TNG" season 7 is a bit of a decline, but which redeeming episodes did Todd point out? - What were Todd's hot takes about episodes "The Measure of a Man" and "All Good Things..."? - What were Todd's grades for the four "TNG" theatrical movies, and how did he compare "Generations" to "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace"? - What were some obvious flaws pointed out about three of the four "TNG" movies? Which one did Todd say Brannon Braga, writer of at least one of the movies, admitted on a podcast that he was guilty of, but he didn't realize it until he saw someone else commit the sin in another movie or TV franchise. - What were some of Todd's main reasons for loving "Deep Space Nine" so much, and was one of those reasons hyperbole or accurate? - What were Nick's main criticisms of "Deep Space Nine"? - How much does Todd love the "DS9" list of recurring characters? Which recurring character does he feel might have the best character development arc of the whole franchise? - Why were there mentions of the TV show "Spenser for Hire" and the first "Batman" movie? - What disagreements did Nick & Todd have about "In the Pale Moonlight," one of the most popular episodes of "DS9"? - What did Nick have to say about the "DS9" characters of Gul Damar and Kai Winn Adami? - Why did Nick & Todd not have much to say about "Voyager," "Enterprise," the Kelvin Universe movies, and the new era of the franchise (sometimes referred to as NuTrek)? - Which parts of the "Star Trek" (2009) movie did Todd love & hate, leading to very mixed feelings. What experience related to that movie and "Star Trek Beyond" were related to one of Todd's trips to London? - Which season(s) of "Discovery" were so bad that Todd skipped one or more seasons of "Discovery," and which season was actually pretty redeeming? - What drastic things did Todd have to say about "Star Trek: Picard"? Note: Some of his most detailed -- and spoilery -- opinions about "Picard" are saved for a post-show section he recorded on his own, which is tacked on the end of this episode. - What is Todd's main criticism of "Lower Decks," which might be unfair since he's only seen one episode (at the time of recording; he's seen one more since then)? - Does Todd feel any better about "Strange New Worlds," the preview for "Starfleet Academy," or some people's wishful thinking about the theoretical show "Legacy"? - What frustration did Todd express about background bridge officers in "Discovery"? - What were Nick & Todd's opinions about Tilly from "Discovery"? - What is next week's return to the "Alien Nation" rewatch all about? - In the post-show segment Todd recorded on his own, what grades did he give each season of "Deep Space Nine"? Which clarifications did Todd give about "wokeness" in Star Trek, women in Star Trek, and things that drive Todd bananas about newer Trek shows, especially "Picard"? What character arc from one show in the franchise was stolen from a movie in the franchise? Listen now to discover the answers to these and other deep, enterprising questions, as Nick & Todd continue their voyage through the strange world of the "Star Trek" franchise.

    #007 - "Star Trek" Primer - Part 1 of 2

    The "Alien Nation" rewatch will definitely continue, but this week (and next), Nick & Todd take a detour to talk about one of the biggest sci-fi franchises of all..."Star Trek." We're calling it a primer because we discuss the whole franchise in broad strokes, comparing notes on what we've seen, haven't seen, loved, liked, disliked, hated, and still want to see. It ended up being such a big topic, we had to split it into a two-parter. - What opening advice did Todd & Nick give regarding "Star Trek" and "Toy Story" action figures? - What did Todd say the "Star Trek" franchise means to him, and what annoying way did he still find for comparing it to "Babylon 5"? - How young was Nick when he first started watching "The Original Series" before "The Next Generation" even came out, and how did Nick compare "Star Trek" to "Star Wars"? - What were some of Nick's favorite episodes of "The Original Series"? - What are the merits of "Star Trek: The Animated Series," and despite low-budget animation, does it deserve to be canon? - Why did Todd insist on including a fan-funded web series called "Star Trek Continues" into this discussion? How authentic was the web series to the original look & feel of "Star Trek;" and what are the merits of its storytelling, including something it did similar to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story"? - Are spoofs & stereotypes about Captain Kirk, especially his mannerisms, vocal cadence, and reputation with women, all completely deserved; or is Kirk usually portrayed as a fully professional yet possibly lonely military officer? - How surprising is it which "Star Trek" movie is Nick's favorite? - What continuity errors does Todd (via Joanna) point out about the rocketboot scene in the turbolift shaft in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"? - When trying to narrow down "The Next Generation" for key episodes to show his son, what number did Nick get down to? - What hot take did Nick have about TNG season 1? - What do Nick & Todd feel about the infamous "Sub Rosa" episode, where Dr. Crusher has sex with an alleged ghost? - Which TNG episodes does Nick hate? - What letter grade does Todd give each TNG season? Listen now for the answers to these and other enterprising questions, as Nick & Todd explore sci-fi's greatest universe in their Star Trek Primer. And, stay tuned for Part 2, as Nick & Todd will continue discussing "The Next Generation" as well as more Trek movies, "Deep Space Nine," and beyond...

Improvising some ideas of his own, what did Nick come up with, related to Star Wars & movie theaters? - And, what were Nick & Todd's final grades and feelings about whether this could be skipped or not? Listen now for the answers to these and other...commanding...questions, as Nick & Todd try to survive..."The Takeover."
