aptain Freeman, Ransom, and Shaxs are called away on an urgent, covert, seed-planting mission, so there will be a visiting captain on board the Cerritos. At first, Mariner is upset by this, but then she discovers it is her old friend from the academy, Amina Ramsey. Ramsey selects Mariner to…
his week the Cerritos is locked in a pitched and literal tug-o-war with a ship of Drookmani over some ancient Starfleet wreckage and Captain Freeman is doing her best to resolve the issue without violence. In response, the Drookmani start throwing debris at the Cerritos with their tractor beams to…
rad Boimler has a girlfriend! Her name is Barbara Brinson. Try saying that fast. Akie does a bunch this episode and it pretty much broke him. Mariner thinks Brinson is too good to be true and is on a mission to prove that she is some sort of man-eating alien.…
hat do you know about "buffer time?" You know, like, the crew of ship says it takes four hours to fix the dilithium mix, but it really on takes two hours? I mean, we *all* kind of know that, right?! Captain Freeman didn't and when she cracks down on buffer…
The Cerritos is hauling an ancient generation ship across space with the USS Merced. The ship has some kind of super biology juice inside of it that turns anything it touches into trees and rocks and water. So, careful, everyone! Meanwhile, Captain Freeman is sick of Mariner's disrespect and immaturity…
Ensign Boimler is SUPER excited to be shuttling a Klingon ambassador down to the surface but Mariner crashes the party. She and General K'orin drink too much bloodwine and the ambassador passes out... then he steals the shuttle and goes joy-riding around the Klingon district wreaking havoc. As they pursue…
Welcome aboard the USS Cerritos (small hills?!), listeners! Meet ensigns Boimler (nervous goody-two-shoes), Mariner (bad-ass rebel and rule-breaker), Tendi (hyper enthusiastic science officer), and Rutherford (innocent, newly-cybernetic engineer) – our plucky heroes. Don't worry about the command staff on the bridge, we're plumbing the depths of this starship – where…

....and we're back at the DISCO! Since Book and Ruon Tarka took matters into their own hands and decided to steal the next generation spore drive and go build their own isolytic bomb and take a punch at species 10C on their own, the Federation is in a shambles. Michael…

This week as Discovery is on hiatus for just one more week, Stevie was asked to join some other Trek podcast hosts to take part in a Star Trek Jeopardy... Akie (our champ) was unfortunately busy being a cool musician guy so Stevie stepped up, how do you think they…
It's the mid-season finale of Star Trek Discovery. What it's all be leading up to (before, you know, the rest of the season). The Federation has called together an assembly of all the major worlds and races, Federation and otherwise, from all four quadrants of the galaxy to discuss what…
So, this is it. Finally, we are doing a watchalong of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. A regular contender for the "best Star Trek movie of all time." And it does not disappoint. From the sartorial splendor of Kirk's wardrobe, to increasingly slower and slower chase scenes with…
Another watch-along monday! We screwed our courage to the sticking place and made valiant effort to watch the third of the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies – Star Trek: Beyond. High was the anticipation for this film when it came out in 2016, but alas, it proved to be well…
The year was 2009. Barack Obama was president in the United States. The economy was tanking. ands JJ Abrams had made a new Star Trek movie. It had Kirk and Spock and Bones... Uhura, Sulu, Chekov... the *whole* gang. And, for many, it is was jump started this new era…

DISCO has been ordered to go into the subspace rift made by the DMA to gather any readings or information they can about the anomaly. Things are going nominally at first, but when the ship gets inside, there is nothing to be found. They are in a data-less void. Zora,…

The Cerritos is headed to Starbase 25 for the annual Command Conference (which is purported to have one of the most outrageous after-parties in the quadrant!) and it will be the only California-class ship attending. Captain Freeman is rather chuffed. There's just the problem of the Doopler Ambassador who gets…
