What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Only recently discovered, great excuse to watch SNG from the beginning. Yes, they are not Trek experts, and yes, their discussions often get off-topic, but that’s what they promise - and hilarious

fchase88 · Nov 2024

There are dozens of shows that do deep dive analysis on Trek, but few where it feels like you’re just hanging out with fans. This is a super fun, casual watchalong show that doesn’t take itself or Trek too seriously. Love every episode, DS9 has been a blast so far, and everyone should get on their patreon!

Codles · Jul 2024

Love their conversations I totally get the title. 8/10 times they bring up Data being programmed in multiple techniques 🤣. It totally sounds like normal ppl talking about Star Trek rather than super nerds. Love how some guests have never seen Star Trek & some are fans of the show.

These ladies are very funny, and I really enjoy their critiques of TNG. After having watched the first 6 seasons and played back all the corresponding podcasts, here are my conclusions so far: - with few exceptions, the current episode is never a good one - very few guests have ever watched TNG prior to appearing, and often watch the wrong one in their prep for the podcast - the extras wear the old uniforms - Alice does a great impression of Troy, and the writers never took advantage of her powers - Beverly Crusher has never seen anything like this - Alexander Roschenko is the worst - Jordi lives in continuous, crippling pain and no one ever talks about it - “She kissed him in the rear torpedo bay” was Whoopi’s finest moment in the whole series Really fun listen where no one takes anything too seriously, and with occasional bits and improv that I absolutely live for.

WantSomeGoodIndie · Dec 2020

As a woman who likes Star Trek it is nice to find podcasts and other media from a female perspective. I listened to 13 episodes and most of them were all over the place with a few being okay. Maybe not for my taste personally because it just did not seem like they even liked the show. Of course it’s not perfect and there are constructive ways to talk about it. But to just say Troi or Tasha are useless and the only defense is they do not know how to write strong female characters, while ignoring there more active roles in some episodes. If you want to listen to a very casual podcast that talks about sex, dating, and occasionally Star Trek Next Generation this might be for you. Not for people that are looking for in depth character analysis or episode discussions.
