This episode contains: Ben's been geeking out in books this last week. Not video games. Weird. But that didn't stop him getting an XBox Series X on MAR10 day. WHAT A TRAITOR! We chat about Moonglow Bay, a slice of life fishing RPG on Xbox Gamepass. Alicia Keys: Let's talk about typewriters and e-ink. An artist made a concept typewriter with a curved e-ink display, called Flowo. Hemingwrite is a mechanical keyboard with an e-ink screen. Looks so old school IBM. Ben teaches Steven two different ways e-ink displays can work. Steven is really interested in color e-ink displays, and tells Ben about a Bryan Lee O'Malley comic he didn't know about called Snot Girl. Flowo typewriter with curved E Ink display offers a similar feel as a real typewriter: https://goodereader.com/blog/e-paper/flowo-typewriter-with-curved-e-ink-display-offers-a-similar-feel-as-a-real-typewriter A $600 E Ink typewriter got me one step closer to writing a novel: https://www.engadget.com/astrohaus-freewrite-one-month-writing-test-140008132.html The Top 5 Color ebook Readers of 2021: https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/the-top-5-color-ebook-readers-of-2021 Little Tiny Miracles: The physics of fire ant rafts could help engineers design swarming robots. Scientists throw science ants into buckets of science water, for SCIENCE! Steven would still go to a Jurassic Park, even though he would probably die. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/03/220302185954.htm Science Fiction: We talk so much on the Patreon-only midsection of the episode about Star Wars, but finally come on-air to talk about the Obi-Wan Kenobi Teaser Trailer ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWTfhyvzTx0 ), and Steven schools Ben on the Inquisitors. Steven's daughter might finally think Star Wars is cool. Ben is conflicted on which trailer is better between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxuyzk5DUFc ). Captain Pike has grown a sadness beard. Steven digs the classic Star Trek sounds, but still "every day is Star Wars day, unless you're a coward" - Steven. Species 10-C in StarTrekDiscovery was SO GOOD. Think Star Trek meets Arrival. Discovery Season 4 > Picard Season 2 so far. Which is more horrifying to Jean-Luc: Eradication Day or Captain Picard Day? Picard says "there's a real old movie called Voyage Home. Let's do that." If you're using a WMD on the Vulcan homeworld, you've gone too far. Spot 73, Jurati's AI cat, is awesome and played by Patton Oswald. Is Picard season 2 another Book of Boba Fett? We think they're playing it a little too safe.  

Episode 10: The Movies Movies #10: You Have a Friend in the Romulan Empire This episode is PG-13 Would Shinzon have been a better Mirror villain? Is Picard out of character in this movie?

Did Picard die? Is Picard dead?

Welcome to a special series of Trekking Through Compliance, the podcast series inspired by my review of Star Trek, the Original Series. In this special series I am joined by another uber Star Trek maven, Megan Dougherty, co-founder of One Stone Creative. In this series we will review the new television show Picard which is currently streaming on CBS. SPOILER ALERT-Although we will review each episode after it appears, we will discuss each episode in depth. Episode 5, Stardust City Rag. In a flashback, Seven of Nine mercy-kills Icheb, a fellow former Borg drone saved by Voyager, after his Borg implants have been ripped out by the black-marketeer Bjayzl. In the present, La Sirena arrives at Freecloud, where Raffi discovers that Maddox is being held prisoner by Bjayzl, who intends to sell him to the Tal Shiar. Picard's crew plan to recover Maddox by staging a prisoner exchange, with Seven (and her Borg implants) as the bait. When Bjayzl recognizes Seven, Seven drops the charade and reveals her true intention: to kill Bjayzl to avenge Icheb. Picard persuades Seven to relent, and Maddox is safely recovered and beamed to La Sirena. Afterward, Seven returns to Freecloud and kills Bjayzl without Picard's knowledge. In sickbay, Maddox tells Picard what he knows about Soji and Dahj, explaining that he sent them to Earth and the Artifact in order to discover the true motivation behind the synthetics ban. After Picard leaves them alone, Jurati tearfully murders Maddox, saying "If you'd seen what I saw". Meanwhile, Raffi tries to reconnect with her estranged son Gabriel, who is married to and expecting a child with a Romulan woman but is rebuffed and returns to La Sirena. Highlights, speculations and questions include:  The humanity of 7/9 (and Picard). Is Picard aging too quickly? What are some of the cookies in this show? Does revenge belong in the Star Trek universe? What is Jurati’s agenda? Is she a plant on the team?

Whats this?! A Wednesday release, why i never! This weeks special episode Fuzzy and Dudi review the first 3 episodes of Star Trek: Picard! Patrick Stewart is back in the pivotal role, theres a winery, a dog and more! Fuzzy is a fan of Star Trek, but Dudi has only seen the Jar Jar movies. Is Picard for everyone? Can you watch the series without knowing anything about Star Trek? Is Star Trek: Picard basically the Mandalorian for Star Trek fans?

Is Picard "taking up the white man's burden"? Just how cis-normie is the 24th century? Is the sock slide from Risky Business the most perfect ritual? Sophia & Ezri are joined by Tom & Kyle http://emancipation.network thanks to Vancouver producer and grumpy McLuhanite Mason Kerr for additional editing

PICARD is back, and so is Jack’s Silly, and with Barm, Sam Stovold (Marvel Star Wars Explorers) and Kevin Young (Reopening the Wormhole) here, it is going to get SILLY AF.  So many questions to answer!  Is Picard good? Does Slush-o Cola mean Star Wars and Star Trek are in the same universe?  How does Picard compare to Disco?  Why SHOULDN’T Romulans be Irish?  Are pit bulls inherently dangerous?  What is Chingy’s role in all this?  Why do Romulans live in Borg Cubes?  What is this goddang podcast gonna be like now?  Press play and ENGAGE. 

Is Picard losing his mind? What kind of alt-right is Commodore Oh? Will Starbuck kick Sophia's ass and make us do a Battlestar Galactica episode? Sophia & Ezri are joined by Tom & Kyle http://emancipation.network

This week we talk about actors and accents, the lost plot of Data's sapience, and how Jean-Luc Picard would totally kill a guy. Is Picard a good leader right now? We make fun of his standing orders and how well the crew is trained, but are we being too hard on him? Was it just that they couldn't write these episodes to improve the crew's abilities or do the folks on the Enterprise have to be poorly trained for these stories to work?

Picard as a Family Man. When we were first met Jean-Luc Picard in “Encounter at Farpoint,” we were told—in no uncertain terms—that he does not like children. But, over the course of the series and Picard's life, things changed. The Picard we saw in Generations seemed to long for a family and the comforts of a 19th-century Christmas at the vineyard. In this episode of The Line, Brandon-Shea Mutala sets out to convince his fellow co-hosts, Justin Oser and Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi, that Picard really is a family man—though it doesn't take a great deal of convincing. As we continue our look back on the themes in Picard's life, we consider that he really does want a family and children, but circumstances have stood in the way.

Now that we got that Marvel stuff out of the way, there is still so much more that Comic Con unleashed on the nerd world. We got a better look at Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard in the new Star Trek show Star Trek: Picard. Is Picard the best Star Trek Captain, EVER?!?! Listen to find out our take. We then fly sky high for a little Top Gun, the new terminator, and HBO's new series, Watchmen. Could this possibly be Game of Thrones' successor? Listen to find out. So, if you're a little Marvel-fatigued, then this is the episode for you!

Captain Galek Sar has been dead for over 1000 years, along with his ship the Cleponji, but it's never too late to worry about his undeleted computer files that he's strewn literally everywhere across his ship. Good thing for him a booby trap has the Enterprise too busy to snoop too much! Is Picard somehow a worse archaeologist than Indiana Jones? Is Conrad a mustard guy, or more blue? Is Replicators Incorporated too snobby to hire graduates from the generically named Space College? All this and a return of your fourth or fifth favorite Vulcan in the newest pod!

It's our wildcard episode, TNG's "The Wounded", in which we ask, Is plankton loaf a food? Does Data affect his androidness? Is Picard a 24th century Hank Hill Join us to find out!

Is Picard a starship captain who dreams he's an alien, or is he an alien who dreams he's a starship captain? Definitely one from the good bin and a strong contender for best episode from the seven season run, although life would indeed be boring if we all agreed about that! This week we got to watch a firm fan favourite: S05 E11 - The Inner Light. Show me Picard's flute!

When a reluctant and somewhat recalcitrant Ben Sisko is given command of the worst neighborhood in Starfleet, a tone is set for a very different kind of Trek. But when the locals identify him as potentially playing a major role in their religion, the commander's commitment to his job comes roaring back. Is the space station a metaphor for urban Detroit? Did someone tell Nana Visitor that she was going to be the star of the series? Is Picard looking at Sisko's junk? It's the episode where we trade Picard's Beavis and Butthead for Sisko's Woo!

When Picard and Beverly are abducted and fitted for mechanical nubbins, they start to share more than a mutual love of breakfast. Back on the ship, an extremely paranoid ambassador is trying to build his own bat cave in one of the condos. Does this episode take place in an alternate brunchaverse? Is Worf picking up extra shifts in the transporter room because he's short on scarves? Is Picard getting a write-off for that Action Jacket? It's the episode where we finally finish the ‘card bit'…or do we?

Worf!   Season 4 starts off right.   Is the show about to get Urkel-ed? [nope]   When a bunch of Klingons show up on DS9, shenanigans are afoot. On screen and off. What's going on with Cardassia and all the characters in this "soft reboot" of the series. James Doohan is still awesome.   What 4 rules does Sisko break or bend for the Federation? Is Picard the worst captain?   The Root Beer Scene. It has a backstory! It almost didn't happen. What was going on when this was made, and why does it feel so timely right now? We are all Worf   Voicemails, or Whatever We Call This Segment (1:15:00) A new caller asks about … The Orville Plutoburns has some preemptive thoughts on this episode

When the Entrepreneur's holodeck tries going for a deep callback, the crew is once again facing a villain that can defeat Data. Now a man who should be inside the computer is wandering all over the ship and causing all kinds of trouble. Did Q steal that book? Is Picard trying his equivalent of ‘giving the chocolate' to Moriarty? Who gives Guinan the most hat-envy? Everybody knows that holodeck peril is a snooze-worthy premise. It's an episode that presupposes, maybe it isn't?

Picard is the kind of captain who can energize his crew with an inspiring speech right around the climax of an episode. Is Picard the best speech-giver in all of Star Trek? This week, the Shuttle Pod crew take a look at Picard’s best speeches.

When the crew beams a big pile of ship aboard, they decide to beam down to a planet with a frozen fart-based atmosphere to investigate. The DustBuster club quickly find themselves trapped in a nightmare vacation to Vegas. Is Worf behind the lack of door locks on the Enterprise? Is Picard's love of trashy novels distracting him from mounting a sincere rescue operation? Is playing along with a bad book the only way to escape it? It's the episode where we declare that we're here to defend democracy, not necessarily to practice it.

When Captain Picard's old friend sends him a "U up?" message in the middle of the night, it's enough to send the Enterprise back to Earth to investigate evidence of a Federation conspiracy. There, the crew is reunited with some familiar faces: Inspector General Dexter Remmick and Admiral Gregory "Roundhouse" Quinn. Does Dytallix B cause hair loss? Is Picard impervious to being "Picosby-ed"? Who keeps putting all these glass coffee tables on board starships? It's a super-sized podcast where we make the case for writing future Star Trek episodes!

Oh, that’s right. Someone finally asked us the ultimate nerd question, and we’re ready to throw down. As it turns out, we’re kind of conflicted. Does Kirk’s impulsiveness really make him cool? Is Picard’s dedication just a lingering after-effect of an early trauma? Would you trust either of them to be the designated driver if […]
