    NST: TNG - Schisms - Season 6, Episode 5

    Schisms! Does it make sense to have an alien abduction story when you’re already in space and hanging out with aliens 24/7? Does it make sense to have an episode where there’s not much else to it other than the thinly veiled mystery? Does it make sense for an android to compose and recite dank-ass poetry about his cat? The answer to one of these questions is an emphatic yes. The others? Uh...

    NST: TNG - A Tale of Two Cities (A XXX Parody)

    A Tales of Two Cities! In 2011, a huge Star Trek mark by the name of Sam Hain really wanted to get his fan script produced. The wrinkle? The only film production access he had was in the adult film industry. What happens when a huge Star Trek fan and a bunch of adult film stars get together to put on a show? Honestly, a pretty great episode of TNG!

    NST: TNG - Man Of The People - Season 6, Episode 3

    Man Of The People! Deanna’s getting her life force sucked out to sustain the calm mind of an empath ambassador who needs to negotiate peace between two warring factions. Wow, that’s a doozy of a sentence. Also, some other people are there, I guess. Also, this episode is RIDDLED with misogyny, from both the ambassador guy and the writer of the episode himself. Oh boy.

    NST: TNG - Time's Arrow, Part II (Season Premiere) - Season 6, Episode 1

    Time’s Arrow, Part II! The rest of the Enterprise crew follows Data through the time hole, and it turns out they fit... quite well into 1893 San Francisco? While they hang out and try to find Data, Mark Twain keeps interfering, and Guinan seemingly falls in love with Picard. Why are these aliens stealing souls? Is the best solution just to wipe them out? Star Trek sure thinks so. Because that’s what Star Trek has always been about: not trying to resolve our differences with alien species we just met. Yup, completely in character.

Tractor beams & d!ck skin wallets

This is a legitimately funny and interesting popcast (pop culture podcast). If you are easily offended, maybe not for you… or maybe you should give it a listen just to know where your boundaries are.

Mad Vapes ,

A Great Premise Executed Poorly

The jokes fall flat more often than not, everyone talks over one another and too much time is given to tangental conversations. Each 1.5 hour episode has about 30-40 minutes of Star Trek discussions with the remainder given to Ricardo telling bad jokes or Sara taking the discussion into an awkward tangent.

The best thing you could do to improve this show is provide a structure for each episode and edit out the aimless chit-chat and poor attempts at humor. For example, 5-10 minutes of preamble, 5-minute episode recap from someone that isn’t Ricardo, 20-30 minutes given to the topics of discussion, and 5-10 minutes to close out the episode.

A fun way to re-experience tng

Sure they don’t have all the trek lore fully downloaded (but you can read the title and learn that for yourself) but the retelling of each episode always makes me crack up. Excited to hear what the full 4-person cast is like!
