V'ger Please!

At long last, Joseph and Peter (almost) finish Season 2 of Voyager. Chakotay has baby daddy issues and Janeway volunteers the ship to fall into ALL the traps! Does the Queen reign supreme? Are we going to get Tactical Espionage Action from Murder Lon? Hide the children AND the pipes, it's time for a cliffhanger!

Witness as Joseph and Peter discuss "Resolutions", an episode featuring the Tuvok's civilian clothes straight from Outworld, Commander Neckbeard attempting to impress his m'lady, and lots of Ensign Kim whining. Does 25 seconds of cool space combat make up for all of it? Listen and find out!

Your podcast heroes confront Voyager’s most controversial entry and consequently descend into angry yelling. Is Tuvix’s genitalia situation as much a horror show as his hair? Why can’t 24th century spacemen make their own tacos? And most importantly why did the writers of this godforsaken show think it was cool to make everyone a murder monster for the last 11 minutes?

The episode that launched a thousand memes is upon Joseph and Peter as the try to comprehend the impossible. How many ICP jokes is too many? How is it that “Better Call Saul’s” best actor is in this? What 90’s song does the mind dungeon sex party remind YOU of? Why is this episode even happening?

You can learn a lot from television! Life lessons about parenting, bad yodeling, terrible 'high speed' chases, the list is endless. This week, Joseph and Peter learned not to watch "Innocence" unless you want to see some buster-ass space Charles in Charge featuring the only character that can make babysitting on an alien planet fucking boring as hell.

Your podcast heroes don their Fender guitars and descend into the darkest, blackest metal version of Voyager as they review “Deadlock”. Which Voyager will survive? Do Vidiians eat babies? Is Janeway going to make out with herself? Can Harry Kim find his own frozen-in-space corpse? Only the most brutal questions await us!

The Delta Quadrant’s most unlikely detective journalist  is on the case this week as Joseph and Peter wade through “Investigations”.  Listen as Joseph tries to convince Peter he has Voyager Stockholm Syndrome as Peter attempts to defend an episode with Hanna Barbara level villainy, Harry Kim’s filthy lies, and fight sequence featuring the deadliest pipes in the universe.

Your podcast heroes stabilize their journey through the Delta Quadrant with the best possible medicine – the EMH episode. Joseph and Peter squeeze in their jokes between thought provoking and emotional scenes. Does Robert Picardo go for gold? You already know the answer!

Bonus content from Joseph and Peter as they discuss Voyager/Trek topic ranging from how badly written the Prime Directive is to the dark rabbit hole of erotic Trek Fan Fiction!

The original sin of Voyager rears its head at last as your podcast heroes deal with "Death Wish". John De Lancie might be a delight, but is it enough to overcome the huge plot holes and bad writing that surrounds him? Is his charm enough to make up for the charisma black hole that is the other guest star? Spoiler Alert: Probably not!

The worst designed super-weapon in the galaxy threatens some random dudes as your podcast heroes suffer through the worst kind of bad - 'boring bad'. Witness the thrills as B'Elanna talks to...herself. Big Tom is...late to a meeting. Ensign Wildman is...still pregnant. YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR WHOLE SEAT, AND YOU WILL USE ALL OF IT TO TAKE A NAP.

It's Bad Decision Day on Voyager as your podcast heroes review "Meld"! Joseph and Peter meander through revelations of a legit serial killer in space, Vulcans knowing kung fu (and saying hurtful things), and Commander No Fun breaking up Big Tom's gambling ring. One thing is for sure though - Tuvok didn't have a flowchart when he needed it the most.

Your podcast heroes get all the K-mart Klingon backstory and all at once as they grapple with "Alliances". As Joseph and Peter wade through a densely packed 44 minutes of skeezy Kazon bars, Burn Queen interludes, and shifty Maquis coworkers they ask the most critical question of all...where was New Jack Neelix when you needed him most?

Your podcast heroes hot streak of good Voyager episodes comes to a screeching halt as they digest “Prototype”, an entry with all the narrative subtlety of a bat with nails in it. Not even Our Lord and Frakes can save us as we witness one of the most baffling choices ever made in makeup and costuming we have ever seen. Inventive camera work can’t save you this time Jonathan!

When the Warp Core starts itching for Space Crack Rock, Voyager turns to the one man who can score them the goods – Snarf Snarf in a glorious pimp coat. Witness your podcast heroes complete a hat trick of quality episodes, admire a fantastic guest actor performance, and more importantly behold the transformation of the most annoying crew member into the most hard core gangster on this side of the Delta Quadrant.

Your podcast heroes react to the big news that Sir Patrick Stewart is returning to his iconic role. Given how hard in the paint these two aging nerds are for TNG, what is their hot take? Spend 20 minutes finding out!

Your podcast heroes enjoy a winning streak with two quality Voyager episodes in a row, thanks to the reappearance of The Queen Herself! Joseph and Peter revel with their hateful kindred spirit as Seska manages to do the impossible by making both K-Mart Klingon diplomacy and Chakotay backstory info interesting and entertaining. Can this quality continue? Probably not, but we will enjoy it while it lasts.

A welcome return to joy and sanity comes at the hands of an all-too-rare quality episode of Voyager! Joseph and Peter give you a jumbo sized episode filed with their takes on “Cold Fire”, a solid reminder of how good the show can be when it delivers on its premise effectively. Are you in the mood for an hour and a half of funny Trek analysis combined with the most unlikely of Phil Collins references? I hope so, because that is what you are getting!

The tell-tale flute of doom stalks your podcast heroes as they confront the darkest foe of all – the Chakotay backstory episode.  Can you keep a straight face as Joseph and Peter confront the grim reality that comes with terrible performances, atrocious makeup, and writing so bad that the phrase ‘rubber tree people’ gets used multiple times? At least we get to watch Snarf Snarf get beat up by a hawk, right? Please make it stop.

This week, your podcast heroes encounter a Voyager episode that tries to be half Space Madness, half an episode of Ryan’s Hope and try to understand if it was decent or not.  Joseph is convinced “Persistence of Vision” was bad, with its Terrible Janeway Decisions and an underwritten soap opera plot, but Peter is so desperate for a quality episode he tries to defend it!  Has Peter finally gotten Voyager Stockholm Syndrome? One thing is for sure – this is the episode to watch for a lot of sweet stage kissing action.
