I Quit Star Trek

This Time, we're joined by Iris-Jay ( @irisjaycomics) to talk about Voyagers' "Futures End", in which Janeway and the gang get zapped back to the 90s and have to stop copyright-safe Elon Musk from using time travel to blow up earth. Also, the Waco Siege?

This time, we're joined by Girafe and Isa to talk about Star Trek's...complicated realtionship with the concept of interracial identity. And by complicated we mean bad. Very bad. Like, sort of a little pro-eugenics theory bad. Support our nonsense on Patreon at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/IQST⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Buy our merchandise at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek⁠⁠⁠

This time, John and Olivia surprise even themselves by dusting off their microphones to record an emergency live-watch of that...clip of Season Three of Strange New Worlds. We don't like it.

This week, we're joined by the extraordinary Andy (@Andy3E) to talk about DS9's 'Valiant', in which Jake and Nog join up with a ship full of children who have all been inducted into a military cult that makes Baden-Powell look like a hippie. Yeah, that's a deep cut for ya. Support our nonsense on Patreon at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/IQST⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Buy our merchandise at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek⁠⁠⁠

In part two! of our 100-episode celebration, we're joined by Andy (@Andy3E) and Jessie Earl (@JessieGender) to talk about Star Trek Picard Season 3. We laughed. We cried. We wondered why the chemicals in the water were turning all the kids' borg. We questioned the need for a daddy-issues Borg messiah. But most importantly of all, we retconned everything about the show you didn't like, so now it's okay.

This time, in the first of three 100th episode specials, John, Olivia and Genevieve talk about the state of Trek, Trekkies, Trek Costuming, Streaming, and many, many other things. It's about as rambly and ridiculous as the other 99 episodes. Perfect. Thank you so much to everyone who has listened, laughed, meme'd and podcasted with us for the last two and a half years! We're so glad we got to meet you all!

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Matt Bone (@boneyabroad) to talk about Strange New Worlds' "Under the Cloak of War", in which a Klingon ambassador with terrible prosthetics gets murdered as part of a terrible plot thread, which is tied to a flashback sequence to an even worse plot thread.

In this episode we're joined by the fantast Girafe to talk about TNG's 'The Chase', in which the crew of the Enterprise ignore orders to bumble around the galaxy in search of a primordial DNA riddle which, despite changing everything we know about the galaxy, has no consequences whatsoever. How nice. Support our nonsense on Patreon at ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/IQST ⁠⁠⁠ Buy our merchandise at ⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek⁠⁠

This time we're joined by Robert to talk about "The Way to Eden", in which the Enterprise is hijacked by a gang on bare-chested, banjo-strumming Eden-obsessed hippies led by Space Charles Manson.

This week we're joined by our third host Genevieve (@thisismewhatevs) to talk about "Harbinger", the Enterprise episode in which T'Pol and Trip have sex, Malcolm has violent sexual tension with Major Hayes and Archer commits a war crime.

WE'RE BACK! And this time, we're joined by Penny (@socialsoprano) and Patrique (@PDPdoestrek) to talk about Strange New World's Subspace Rhapsody, our all-singing-all dancing episode that may, quite possibly, have need a lot less singing or dancing. Possibly. Support our nonsense on Patreon at ⁠https://www.patreon.com/IQST ⁠ Buy our merchandise at ⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek⁠

In this episode, John and Olivia chat with Subcommander Tal (@SubcommanderT) about "And the Children Shall Lead", in which a bunch of children takes over the Enterprise, and Jack Ruby's Lawyer in a massive glittery frock. Somehow, that's the nicest we can be about this episode, which includes such highlights as kids being picky about ice cream, William Shatner being directly very badly, and a green glowy ghost.

This time, John and Olivia are joined by Matthew (@sadmattyh) to talk about TNG's Parallels, in which Worf starts accidentally jumping through the multiverse. Surprise! He's still a deadbeat dad in every reality. Oh well. At least he's married in one, even if he did get Geordi killed.

This time we're joined by friends of the Podcast Penny and Chris to talk about Heterosexual relationships in Star Trek, from the highs of Sisko and Kasidy to the absolute lows of...everyone Deanna Troi has even been romantically interested in. And Vedek Bareil. God, he sucks.

This week, as a partial apology for being behind on regular updates (sorry), John and Genevieve sat down to talk about the state of Star Trek, and instead made a whistlestop tour through a collection of random nonsense, including Seinfeld Riffs, Cardassian Tails, Stoners in the 24th century, the difficulties of writing "adult" cartoons and the horrifying realities of living in Wisconsin.

This week, we're joined by the showrunners of STAR TREK: PRODIGY, Dan and Kevin Hageman themselves, to talk about TNG's "The Naked Now", in which the crew succumbs to the same weird sex-drunk virus that the original Enterprise crew were infected with because the writers didn't know what to do with their characters. Also, Data can get drunk now? Somehow? We don't know. Support our nonsense on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/IQST Buy our merchandise at https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek

This week, we're joined by Leia (@Cottagetrek on Tiktok) to talk about The Man Trap, in which McCoy's old flame turns out to be a salt vampire that keeps killing people. Are we just willing to look past terrible TV because we like the Original Series? Yes. Yes we are.

This week, we're joined by Alex Perry (@alexandertperry) to talk about "Author Author", in which the Doctor gets in trouble when his really, really bad book is stolen by a publisher. We'd have sympathy, but he's such an asshole in this episode that he doesn't really deserve it.

This week, we're joined by Susana to talk about TNG's "Remember Me", in which Dr. Beverly Crusher gets stuck in a pocket dimension cos her son can't make a science project without endangering at least one person's life at a time. On the other hand, Gates McFadden is acting her heart out, so that's...good.

This week we're joined by the amazing Jessie (@JessieGender) to talk about Picard's Nepenthe, in which instead of following the interesting parts of the plot, the writers descend into a nostalgia trip to Riker and Troi's domestic paradise. Also, they killed Hugh for some reason. Support our nonsense on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/IQST Buy our merchandise at https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek

This week, John and Olivia are joined by Ayinde (@Blake1701D) to talk about Lower Deck's Grounded, where Mariner and the gang jump about 24th-century earth to steal the Cerritos and end up being vindicated by the wheels of justice (and space Fraiser Crane). John gets really mad about time zones.

This week, we're joined by Star Trek's science advisor Dr Erin Macdonald (@Drerinmac) to talk about Voyager's "Ex Post Facto", in which Paris is accused of a murder he didn't commit and is then forced to rewatch the murder every fourteen hours, which sucks. Tuvok gets to do a Columbo Impression. Support our nonsense on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/IQST Buy our merchandise at https://www.teepublic.com/user/i-quit-star-trek

This week, John and Olivia are graced by Star Trek royalty as we're joined by STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS showrunner Mike McMahan (@MikeMcMahanTM) to talk about the Gamesters of Triskelion, in which Kirk, Chekov and Uhura are kidnapped and made to fight for the pleasure of three jiggling brains in a jar.

This week, we're joined by Lt. Commander Rae (@ltcomrae) to talk about Voyager's "Favorite Son", in which Harry Kim discovers his true origin as a member of a planet of super-freaky, super sexy (?) spotted aliens. Oh, and they want to suck his life force from him and kill him to get pregnant. Somehow, this is the most interesting Harry gets in Season 3. Thanks again to our Patreon supporters!

This week, we're joined by Aveline to talk about TNG's rascals in which Picard, Ro, Guinan and Keiko get turns into kids for....reasons, and have to Die Hard the Ferengi.

In this episode we're joined by the wonderful Bill (@trekkiebill) to talk about Voyager's Alice, in which Tom Paris is gaslit, gatekeeped and girlbossed by a shuttle. It's weird, and even worse, it might be good. Thanks again to our Patreon supporters! If you're interested in supporting us, head over to https://www.patreon.com/IQST!

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Jonn Elledge and Hye to talk about Picard Season 2, and how much it just...wasn't very good. We talk about many, many aspects of this; the Borg, space nazis, ICE discourse, the fact that the Picard family definitely lied about WW2. A lot. Also, buy Jonn's book, it's really good.

This week, we're joined by Anika to chat about Enterprise's "A Night In Sickbay", in which Captain Archer acts like a 12-year-old for an entire episode and also has some wet dreams about T'Pol. Also the dog is ill, which we're meant to care about.

This week, we're joined by the brilliant Jonathan (@JonfuciusOnline) to talk about TNG's Lonely Among Us, in which the Enterprise's diplomatic duties are interfered with by a castaway energy being that enjoys hijacking people's bodies. It's somehow not terrible! You can now support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/IQST!

This week, we're joined by Nasr (@_tempvoid) to talk about Voyager's Lineage, in which B'Elanna tries to deal with her racial trauma (and daddy issues) by trying to apply eugenics to her daughter, which is insane.

This week, we're joined by third host Genevieve and Trekenomics author Manu Saaida (@trekenomics) to talk about work in Star Trek, in a wide-reaching and tangential chat that includes discourse around french waiters, land communes, and, uh, kibbutzes. Business as usual.

This week, we're joined by clay (@theIconstable) to talk about "Mirror Mirror", in which Kirk and the gang get swapped with their counterparts from the vicious, violent and worryingly camp Mirror Universe. We talk about Nazism a lot, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

This week, we're joined by resident Borg expert Hye (@raijuTheHyeju) to talk about the Borg, and their journey from terrifying hive mind to the Cyborg Ellen DeGeneres show. We also talk about Picard Season 2 a lot, so if you don't wanna hear that, you've been warned.

This week, we're joined by menace to society and official 'friend' of the podcast Terry (@telthetrekkie) to talk about Enterprise's "Oasis", in which the gang meets the crew of a stranded ship who all turn out to be holograms. It's not very interesting, so we talk about Tractors and why Enterprise was crap instead.

This week, we're joined by the brilliant Kate (@kate_minson) to talk about DS9's return to grace, in which (for some reason) Major Kira helps Dukat become a pirate so he can take the fight to the Klingons. Also his wife left him for another Gul, which is hilarious.

This week we're joined by Rob to talk about Voyager's twisted, in which the ship gets contorted by a subspace-distortion thing, and we spend 40 minutes watching our characters walk around a set of uniquelly forgettable corridors. Even worse, Neelix is there.

This week we're joined by the marvelous Rebecca (@pencilscratchin) to talk about DS9's 'Little Green Men', in which Quark, Rom and Nog accidentally time travel to 1947. Also, we argue about whether Rom is a DILF. God know why.

This week, John and Olivia are joined by Jo and Matthew of the Terok Noir podcast (@teroknoir) to talk about DS9's 'Sons and Daughters', in which Worf is terrible to his son during the Dominion War. Shockingly, this is normal behavior for Worf, who has not told anyone about his son in five years. Normal.

This week, John has escaped his handlers and organised an hour and half of Starship Pedantry with Star Trek Online's Thomas Marrone (@ThomastheCat) and Trek Central's Dom (@DomDParis). There are several complaints about Bunkbeds, Starship construction numbers, and whatever the hell a flagship is. Normal Service will resume next week.

This week, John and Genevieve are joined by JD and Alyson to have a small (large) chat about what might happen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds! We think Pike should have a horse on ship. And Sybok should also be there.

This week, John and Geneieve are joined by Caleb (@RogueMogh) to talk about Friday's Child, in which Kirk and the gang get caught in a coup on an alien planet and have to help a pregnant lady escape execution. Spock learns about Baby talk and McCoy does his very best to lose his medical license. It's a classic adventure.

This week, John and Genevieve are joined by Adrian (@orchidtreks) to talk about Voyager's Q2, in which Janeway has to talked with Q's obnoxious, irritating and chauvinistic son Q, who, uh, sucks. Also, Q kisses Janeway's foot, which sucks even more.

This week, we're joined by Max (@railtragedy) to talk about DS9's tribunal, in which Chief O'Brien has to suffer through the Cardassian Court.

This week, we're joined by Thomas (@ThomastheCat) to talk about The Changeling, in which Captain Kirk and the gang are challenged by a murderous (and sassy) space probe. Scotty dies for a bit, and Uhura gets her mind wiped. Sort of.

This week, we're joined by the sensational Shenikwa (@SadandYellow) to talk about TNG's Angel One, in which Commander Riker gets up the no good on in a matriarchal society. He also doesn't have any nipples, apparently.

This week we're joined by Steffi (@Larkistin89) to talk about Star Trek Discovery's What's Past is Prologue, in which Evil Nazi Emeperor Georgiou and Evil Nazi Gabriel Lorca face off in a battle for control of the Terran Empire, something we're apparently meant to be emotionally invested in. Olivia defends Terran Uniforms and John isn't happy about it.

This week we're joined by JD (@scifoodies) to talk about The Cage, Star Trek's Unaired Pilot episode. The one with the Talosians. And the dnacing Orion Girls. That one. Yeah.

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Aaron J. Waltke (Writer on Star Trek: Prodigy!) to talk about The Savage Curtain, in which Kirk and Spock join forces with Lincoln and Surak in an epic battle of Good Versus Evil! Lincoln is also browned up for part of the episode, for some reason. We're still not sure.

This week, we're joined by the wonderful Dan (@ArtofDanliness) to talk about Starfleet Admirals, a cadre of officers who seem to spend all their time scheming to overthrow democracy, Ingesting mind-controlling parasites or just being crap at their jobs. Business as usual in the military then.

This week, we're joined by Zane (@catgrubs) to talk about Enterprise's Hatchery, in which Archer decides to be virtuous and sensible about alien babies which freaks everyone else out so much they stage a mutiny.

This week we're joined by Madeline (@WildishMazz) to talk about Enterprise's Cogenitor, in which Trip tucker befriends a person who is enslaved for the purposes of procreation and gets in trouble for teaching someone to read and write. Remind me why we're meant to like Archer again?
