ENTERPRISE s2e19 “Judgement”

Archer's back in legal trouble episodes after he was in legal trouble!  Matt and Andy applaud some fantastic prequelizing, and Matt finally gets to Rura Penthe, although it seems like it's pretty easy to escape?  The stairs are right there.

ENTERPRISE s2e18 “The Crossing”

Spooky Starman blinky lights possess the crew, but are they good...OR BAD?  Except for Reed, who's always weird possessed or not.  Buckle up, it's Enterprise!  (Star Trek Enterprise)

ENTERPRISE “Canamar” s2e17

ENTERPRISE s2e16 “Future Tense”

In this banger of an episode, Matt and Andy debate whether Enterprise should blow up a mysterious ship or just let Trip try to find pecan pies in its Tardis-like interior.

DISCOVERY s4e13 “Coming Home” SEASON 4 FINALE

It's the Disco finale and that means all our questions have finally been answered!  Or rather, all our questions about whether there were any deeper meanings, plots, or motivations then were being presented have been answered - and that answer is no.  Burnham gets one more crying scene for the road, super-genius-always-one-step-ahead Tarka has a quick emotional turnaround, and Tilly teaches some cadets how to give a speech in a crisis.  And then, it all comes down to one person...

An issue discussed in the Disco hails: is it not a sundae without any cherries?

ENTERPRISE s2e15 “Cease Fire”

Suzie Plakson's back (again)!  And this time she's bringing her antennae!  Matt and Andy engage in the usual discussions about Vulcan emotions, and applaud prequelizing done right for a change.

DISCOVERY s4e12 “Species Ten-C”

The end is nigh (of this Disco season)!  And Matt and Andy find much of this episode satisfying (even though they can't stop wondering if any of it was worth it)!  Meanwhile, the Prez puts together an odd group to meet up with Species Ten-C, the bridge crew pop in as experts on how to decipher their language, and Saru and Burnham yell a cleansing primal scream which many of us feel we might need to take part in at the end of this season.

DISCOVERY SEASON 4 FINALE POLL

We promise this is not meant to drag or shame anyone - all the folks who are Discovery boosters have valid takes.  This poll is mostly to get a more accurate sense of if the vibe from our crew of "the end of Disco season 4 was good/great and/or tied stuff together in a satisfying way!" was a vocal minority or a generally held opinion.  

Feel free to post more complex Disco season 4 thoughts in the comments below if so inclined.

DISCOVERY s4e11 “Rosetta”

[Might be a quick turnaround for records this month, so get your hails in quick 🖖] 

It's a classic side quest/delay of season end, and everybody gets a chance to have some overwrought emotions!  Also - Detmer spews some backstory, Nilsson takes the Con (was she next in line?), Adira FINALLY gets to connect with their hero Detmer (which was only established in this episode), and Matt wonders why they took away Hirai's interesting character, although Andy still likes that he'...

ENTERPRISE s2e14 “Stigma”

Trip fends off an affair with Phlox's wife while the Vulcans in this period are once again shown to be total dicks.  Matt and Andy discuss if Archer is capable of more tones of voice than two.  

[For purists, this one was recorded between Disco "All In" and DS9 "Past Prologue."  We may be running these in askew order due to the increased output of pods (to always try to give our crew a little time for hails)]

DISCOVERY s4e10 “The Galactic Barrier”

President Rillak (she IS the President) decides to come along for a trip to the Galactic Barrier so she and Burnham can debate if the first duty is...honesty?  Matt and Andy get increasingly frustrated with Burnham's command decisions and the odd amount of time Discovery needs to prep for a universe-saving mission.  And FINALLY we get that Tarka backstory we didn't need!

DISCOVERY s4e9 "Rubicon"

Buckle up, crew!  Matt's A/C is down (not just when he turns it off for recording in spite of all of your pleas, but  this whole week) and he is GROUCHY.  (Y'know, even more than usual.  Duck and cover, Lt. Bazarewsky!)

We dig in nonetheless, analyzing the show's success/failure at establishing secondary characters,  taking a look at an exciting Spore Drive duel that Matt missed, and wondering if Nhan beamed into the Admiral's office or just made a transporter s...

DISCOVERY s4e8 ​​"All In"

We're back in a cantina/casino, but this time it's okay.  Owo gets called up to the major character big leagues to kick some ass, Book and Michael's old buddy really lays on the "Made Up Word, Word We Know" game thick, and Andy and Matt wonder if Disco is just slotting in characters like Vance to fill whatever plot need they have, switching Vance and Rillak's personalities as necessary.

DISCOVERY s4e7 "...But to Connect"

Kovich starts acting like Kovich again and Stametz starts acting like Stametz!  Until it all goes the way Disco usually goes, but for a while there it's looking good!  The President continues to use Burnham as her mouthpiece and Matt and Andy start to wonder if the crew sees Book as a Yoko [pre-Get Back Yoko, obvs].

DISCOVERY s4e6 "Stormy Weather"

Zora starts to feel all the feelings, while everyone else stuff themselves into buffer in cute little groups.  [Prime self-corrective: I was wrong about the song Zora sings in this ep - she didn't sing it in the Short Trek, she just sort of hummed something.]
