S1E26 The Neutral Zone
May 16, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBLow Mileage Pit Woofies? Nope, just Romulans I'm afraid. But that does not stop Data, Worf, the Dr. and whom ever else happens to be in the room from helping three lost time traveling humans from building a memory. Patrick and Sascha have fun with this one, it's cute, gives some credible intro to the Romulans but lacks some umph.
S1E25 Conspiracy
May 09, 2018 07:00 - 58 minutes - 41.4 MBWas this a bad attempt at introducing the Borg? Was this an attempt to introduce a long lasting story arch that would define Trek as we know it?

S1E21 The Arsenal of Freedom
April 11, 2018 07:00 - 53 minutes - 38.5 MBThis is one of Pat's favorite season 1 episodes and Sascha's as well. We had a lot of fun with the good ship lollipop and we know it's size and compliment, but we wont tell you...you drone spy ship thingy that's my dead buddy from the academy. Watch a long as we see some good kick but sci-fi writing from an otherwise not so ok season of STNG.

S1E18 Home Soil
February 22, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MBDodge the Death Lasers as fast as an android can move! It's another crazy episode of "try not to kills the locals" episode of STNG. A seemingly empty plant is ripe for terraforming, only one problem the SALT IS ALIVE!!! Patrick, Sascha, Matt and guests try to figure out if this is global genocide or just spilling the salt.
