Out of Contreks outofcontreks

Sorry for the audio issues, folks. This file should have both hosts' audio.
Ryan and Brady dig into the final season of Star Trek Discovery and come to the conclusion that this season was, if not great, also was not bad! We rank the seasons, talk about the finale, discuss the ending, and wonder if one of the writers found religion during the course of writing the show. All that, and more!

Ryan and Brady talk about well-meaning but strangely tone-deaf episode of... you guessed it, Voyager. Come for the discussion of how pop culture so often treats Native American culture with a patronizing air, and stay for the ponderings on how a holographic tissue works.

On this gentle evening episode of Out of Contreks (that's what we call it when we post it at night instead of in the morning like Ryan does when he's on his game), Ryan and Brady talk about digital painting techniques and some valiant performances trying to save a pretty boring Data A plot -- so boring, in fact, that it doesn't make an appearance on part two of this TNG two-parter, which we've already covered on the show. We also spend a while discussing the current state of "remastering" Voyager and Deep Space 9, which you can read more about in this interesting article.

What if the Borg but in Enterprise? That's basically all that's on the mind of this episode, and Ryan and Brady get into it. Ryan forgot to post this one early this morning, and now he's doing it in a rush before recording a new batch, so sorry for the lack of episode notes.

Ryan and Brady do a brief overview of this Season 2 Discovery episode and riff on modern progressivism, the bloat of serialized storytelling, and a Christian pop-punk band of the early 2000s.

Ryan and Brady discuss one of the first Star Trek episodes to ever air, the creepy and atmospheric Charlie X! Join us as we discuss the brilliance of D.C. Fontana, science fiction on a budget, the show still figuring itself out, and which actor's head looks like an upside-down triangle.
