Hiatus

We're Holograms, Whadya Know?

Don’t Piss On My Leg And Tell Me It’s Raining, Star Trek!

Dr. Mora is an abusive dad! Dr. Bashir is creepier than usual! "The Alternate" is a bad episode for doctors! Fair warning, this one gets intense.

Star Trek With Awesome Sarge!

New Fundraising Goal!

A number of you have asked me if and when Sarge and I will go over the movies. Well, we’d love to, but frankly, our current podcasting duties are a lot of work so far, and we’re going to need an increase in income before we can add in reviewing the movies.   So, we’ve added the movies as a fundraising goal! Once we reach our goal, Sarge and I will add an extra bonus episode to the feed once a month where we’ll review one of the movies, moving through them chronologically from Star Trek ...

Quark Has Feelings

Is the Federation post sexism? Is homosexuality the marijuana of Ferenganar? Is real food better than replicated food? We answer all these questions as we dive into "Rules Of Acquisition"!

BOOP!!

It's July's wild card, the original series episode, "Mirror, Mirror"! We discuss how phasers would lead to run away murder, whether or not the mirror universe branched off fro our own, and if parallel universes matter.

Julian's Entire Pickup Strategy

This week, it's "Melora"! Topics include Julian's medical ethics, the Klingon language, and pretentious guys who take you to sushi restaurants! It's a bad episode of DS9, but a good episode of this pod!

His Head Is Upsetting

It's "Cardassians"! In this one, we discuss space racism, war orphans, and international adoption. It's a dark episode, so strap in!

It's Sad In There

Why We’re Leaving Facebook

At the end of this month, April 2018, Deep Space Noob will no longer have a presence on Facebook. We know that this is going to be inconvenient to a number of our fans who follow us there, but after discussing it with Sarge, we decided that we could no longer have a relationship with that company. The Cambridge Analytica scandal confirmed something we’ve felt for a long while, that Facebook isn't a positive force in our lives. They claim to make the word more connected, but what they actua...

Looking At You, Georgia

Yahoo! We made it through the first season! We're looking at "In The Hands Of The Prophets". Sarge had a TON to say about this one, and it's all pretty great. Come listen to us debate fundamentalism!

Vengeance Pizza Rolls

We're finally here, the Nazi allegory episode. Strap in, it gets heavy. CONTENT WARNING : This episode discusses the Holocaust and genocide.

Everybody's Gettin' A Lil Fascist

Dax is useless! Kira tries to seduce everyone! Sisko makes a clock! It's the "We've all been possessed" episode every sci-fi show has to do eventually!

Odo, The Reddit Goo

It's our first Lwaxana episode! How will Sarge respond to Lwaxana? Can Odo be hurt if he doesn't make it to his bucket? Does anyone care about the probe in this episode? Listen and find the answers to these and other questions!

Cuter Hypnotoad

It's here! The famed Tribbles episode! What will Sarge think of Tribbles? What will she think of TOS Klingons? Where's all the Tribble poop? Listen for answers to these questions and more!  

The People Vs. Rumplestiltskin

First season sure loved the wacky episodes, didn't it? We're doing "If Wishes Were Horses", an episode where the crew's imagination comes to life. Tangents include sports movies and sexual fantasies. Come listen!

Morn’s Seven Hairs

We’re doing “Progress” this episode! It’s a fairly heavy episode about the price of progress, but for some reason, we go off on a long tangent about sexuality in the future. It’s a very non-sequitor episode, but it’s good stuff!

16th Dimensional Parcheesi

What a weird, wacky episode! We're doing "The Storyteller", an episode where everything is confusing and nothing makes sense. Makes for good pod, though!

Space Is 40% Jewish

We're doing the Next Generation episode "Who Watches The Watchers?" as our wild card episode this month! We had a lot to talk about, so we went pretty long. We also get pretty philosophical into God and media and other stuff. It'll be an interesting listen, come check it out! patreon.com/deepspacenoob

They Need A Bong

Kai Opaka goes to the Gamma Quadrant! Mike from Breaking Bad shows up! This is a pretty fun episode, where Sarge and I get into some war stuff. Fair warning, it gets a little heavy at points.

Sesame Street Of Crime

A gamma quadrant criminal claims to have knowledge of Odo’s origins. Is he telling the truth? If you’re a fan of the show, you probably already know, but listen to us podcast about it anyway!

...Like Someone We Know

Hey everyone! We really enjoy Sarge’s thoughts on the Ferengi, so we decided to redo The Nagus with her. Hope you enjoy this second take!

You Come Up With This? Go To Therapy!

We’re back, baby! We return with a Christmas special that isn’t remotely Christmas-y! Remember how we referenced an episode of The Original Series with a Christmas party? We’re doing that as a wild card episode! It’s super creepy! Enjoy!

More Episodes Soon!

Hey there! We’re taking December off for the holidays, but there will be more Deep Space Noob in January!

Wallace Shawn Makes It Better

Hey everyone! Sarge couldn’t be with us this week, she’s a little under the weather. My co-host for this episode is Elizabeth Williams Bushey, The artist for my web comic Artificial Flowers who you can find on Twitter as @inklesstales. We break down Federation bigotry, and how Ferengi society doesn’t seem functional. I’m so sad Sarge is missing our first deep dive into Ferengi society, but I promise, it’s still a fun episode! NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Stupid Alien Jumanji

Here it is! The legendarily bad episode, “Move Along Home”. In this episode, we premiere the OCAP award for Outstanding Commitment to an Absurd Premise. Hopefully, Sarge didn’t lose as much respect for me as I thought she would. NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

It Involves Quantum

The Passenger! It’s... yeah... forgettable. We didn’t have a whole lot to say about this episode, but MAN were we annoyed at all the technobabble. Come hear Sarge and Eddie’s reaction to really mediocre Trek!   NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

All The Dirt You Can Eat : A Halloween Special

Happy Halloween! We’re taking a break from DS9 this week and watching Trek’s only official Halloween episode, the original series episode, “Catspaw”! It’s wonderful nonsense, watch it with us! NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Prim And Proper Bajoran Judge Judy

Legal episode! Dax is on trial, but not really on trial; it’s just a hearing, but basically, yeah, totally on trial! Sarge and I question if the Bajorans are the real space Jews, and get DEEP into a philosophical debate with no real world application. NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Content Note : Incoming Blech

A truly terrible episode! Eddie tries to explain Trekonomics, and Sarge almost pukes over oomax. Also, I reference the book Trekonomics by Manu Saadia, which you should check out here! https://www.facebook.com/TrekonomicsBook/   RECOMMENDED VIEWING   Encounter At Farpoint (TNG Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2) Hide And Q (TNG Season 1, Episode 10) Q Who?

Space Mounties

In which we discuss genetic engineering, the ethics of hunting, and I play the Canadian national anthem in its entirety. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out why!   NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

GOOOOOOOOLD!!!!

The station personnel lose the ability to talk, and Quark does a really great leprechaun impression. This one is short, but it's a lot of fun. RECOMMENDED VIEWING The Naked Time (TOS Season 1, Episode 6) The Naked Now (TNG Season 1, Episode 3)

Stuff Is Tough For Odo

Keiko builds a school! Bashir grows a guy! Odo is wanted for murder! meh We're both kind of lukewarm on this one. What'd you folks think? No Recommended Viewing
