The Only Star Trek Podcast in Existence. Yep. It's true!*
Everybody's got an opinion, sure, but who has the "correct" one? Can you even? Trust us for every correct opinion, and a few wrong ones. From Discovery to Picard to Lower Decks, we're resigned to watching these New Star Trek shows both with and without all the baggage that being a "trekkie" entails.

Check out the other Kickers Star Trek podcast, The Rules of Acquisition, about Deep Space Nine, an unsung prequel to modern television.

    Under the Bridge: Horned Up Aliens and 90s TV (Star Trek Lower Decks S4E05, S4E06)

    We've got betazoids! We got Ferengi! There's some DS9 in here. Remember the quintessential 90s HBO rauchy sitcom Dream on? We like these episodes.

Bold, fresh piece of humanity !
Frank and irreverent tone, big emotions, and smart panel-ers deliver original takes & unique reactions on the new bronze medal gold standard
Joke request: 5 ways you know your Romulan bae always —d off to his sister. Don’t make one person do it :D open it up to the room

Bogmad ,

Such anger!

It’s like these guys don’t even unabashedly love anything with the Star Trek name on it! WHAT THE HELL, GUYS?
A critical perspective on a show that has tried to be everything to everyone and maybe only pleased some?
