Emergence | Preemptive StrikeI guess the The Riverwood Trader is actually called Lucan's Dry Goods...? Even though there are definitely potions and things in there, too. Weird.Brother Date! Need something?

What We Leave Behind | BloodlinesOooooooohhhhhhh, Ezri was a figment of Bashir and Worf's imagination all along. Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Also, how did Bok know that thing about Picard?Brother Date! It was a real fur ball out there tonight!

The Dogs of War | FirstbornHey guys. Hey. Sorry. It was "So Fresh, So Clean". It was "So Fresh, So Clean" and not "Ms. Jackson". That's on me, the one who's typing now. I apologize. I'm pretty embarrassed. Ok? Ok.

Journey's End | Extreme MeasuresAmber is the color of your energy and all of that.Brother Date! Party drugs!

Eye of the Beholder | Voyager Actor Rankings | When It Rains...And then there were two. Two awesome shows at the peak of their powers. Each with a lot to say. Real thinkers.Brother Date! Like a psychic photograph!

Endgame | Masks | The Changing Face of EvilI bet there was a scene in "Endgame" where Janeway says to the Borg queen, just before she blows her shit up, "Time's Up." But then they had to cut it because they realized that Janeway had already said that shit to Red Foreman way back when. And also Picard might have said that to F. Murray Abraham in the dumb movie. I don't know, I might be wrong.Brother Date! This is what it feels like when you're losing your mind!

Renaissance Man | Strange Bedfellows | Thine Own SelfA man can do all things if he will. Hell is empty and all the devils are here. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. Brother Date! They're definitely jellin'!

Author, Author | Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang | The PegasusMany characters made very good points this week, but don't worry because it was a complete accident and the writers did their best to erase any decent scores that might have been earned as a result. We were basically that one Alonzo Mourning GIF, watching at home this week, just accepting that good points were being made and knowing it wouldn't matter.Brother Date! Is that Zeemo!?

Why fitness?

It's Only A Paper Moon | Dark Page | The VoidBrother Date! Privacy?

Phantasms | Prophecy | CovenantThings we can all agree on: LeVar Burton is a wonderful actor and not a great reader. Tom Paris continues to be as dogshit as that cake Troi gave to Data this week. We've got legit Skrain strain now and we can't see that guy anymore.Brother Date! Resolved!

Lineage | Gambit Pt 1 | Once More Unto The BreachIf you thought this was the club, that you had walked into the club and your favorite dance-pop songs about Star Trek were playing, and you were just dancing it up with your besties, Tuvok and Neelix... hey man... that's ok. That's kind of what happened this week. This show was FUN AGAIN and you don't have to apologize for enjoying it and for enjoying yourself. Maybe that's the new vibe. Maybe every week will be like such as the club. I don't know if that will happen. I hope it will.I hope it will. - Brother Date.This week's music created on Udio.com.

Time's Orphan | Imperfections | Frame of MindI bet the Relva VII School for the Recently Portaled is pretty nice.

Join now and get fitted for a flashy "forest-print Marissa" under-the-boots number.

Mailbag | Fury | Birthright Pt 1 | In The Pale MoonlightI don't think the web has really caught on yet, but there are some good streaming comedies on Netflix these days. We give our official podcast recommendation in the Mailbag.On TrekTalk, we ask some questions. Why's she so mad, though? What's the deal with Shrek? Why won't my lasagna souffle rise?Brother Date! It's a fake!

Thanks, Ron Moore!Brother Date! True grifters for life!

Mailbag | Aquiel | Change of Heart | Good ShepherdGuys... guys I'm so sorry. This is aurally the worst Brother Date episode yet. There's so much grimy coughing in here. I thought... I thought I was hiding them. I was NOT hiding them. Oh man... oh man I'm so embarrassed. Just... you can skip this one, ok? It's just Star Trek. You don't need to hear it. Some RoboCop talk. Some Running Man. We'll catch you up on it if you talk to us IRL. Yikes, so sorry.

Mailbag | Child's Play | Honor Among Thieves | Ship In a BottleIn the mailbag, we go in-depth on our various social anxieties. Then we zip over to Brunali... Prime?... to learn all about weird family guilt. We make a quick stop at the old alien bar to learn that it's really all about family, and we finish up with some unexamined fear of crimes and the criminals who might do crimes. Brother Date! It's a psychology podcast!

TOO. CAN. HAVE. IT. ALL. Really inspiring stuff.Brother Date! If that rock glow you must say no.

Mailbag | Realm of Fear | The Voyager Conspiracy | Favor The BoldThe Mailbag is full of BBQ sauce and faux-bacon this week.
