Matt Learns What Star Trek is *Really* About

Matt Apodaca (of "How Did this Get Played?" and "Yo, Is This Racist?" podcast fame) joins the holobois to find out what Star Trek is REALLY about: chilling in forests with dudes in latex costumes! Neelix (henceforth referred to as "Neevil") avoids telling child crewmember Naomi Wildman that her mom's in trouble, but she figures it all out anyway and copes

S3E11 - "Catspaw" (TOS S2 E7)

Dylan's gone, and Darius and Jan are somehow more unhinged?

Dylan's still gone (this is getting spooky!) so it's up to Darius and Jan to take us on a trip to Pyris VII, where a couple of middle-aged cuttlefish aliens trying to spice up their marriage set up a haunted house for Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty and Sulu on what should have been... THE HOLODECK!

S3E9 - "Displaced" (VOY S3 E24)

The most organic of intros!

This week the holobois have gotten into free-range, all organic intros, have to hold a historic vote on what they think is holo-content, and discuss if Star Trek is TOO horny! All while they go on their way to... THE HOLODECK!

S3E8 - "Strange Energies" (LDS S2 E1)

Darius is gone, so Jan and Dylan break the podcast!

It's a two-hander as the understaffed holobois Dylan and Jan take a look at the second season premiere of Lower Decks! And, just like last week's "Where Silence Has Lease," it starts off with a workout scene on... THE HOLODECK!

S3E7 - "Where Silence Has Lease" (TNG S2 E2)

I Got Booted Off My Shift By a 14 Year Old

The Enterprise encounters a space anomaly that's totally spooky and weird, so of course they fly right into it. But that's nowhere near as tense as Picard is when he's waiting to hear from Riker and Worf as they work out in an also-spooky Klingon battle simulation on... THE HOLODECK!

S3E6 - "Mortal Coil" (VOY S4 E12)

The One Where Neelix Loses His Sh*t

Chakotay continues his streak of "helping" crew members by making them face their traumas in the most unhealthy ways. In this case, Neelix dies in a horrible accident trying to fill a thermos full of protomatter. So Chakotay makes Neelix relive the whole thing on... THE HOLODECK!

S3E5 - "Conscience of the King" (TOS S1 E13)

"Yo, the guy playing Macbeth... is that Hitler?"

Kirk wrestles with the possibility that an actor performing Space Shakespeare might be a man he recognizes as "Kodos the Executioner." People who could also corroborate the actor's identity keep mysteriously being murdered. In the end, the play's the thing in which Kirk will catch the king in (what on TNG would be)... THE HOLODECK!

Why are Romulan Sweaters So Puffy?

S3E3 - "Worst Case Scenario" (VOY S3 E25)

Tuvok, Did You Ever Finish Writing that Holonovel?

Wait, are the Maquis finally going to take over the USS Voyager? It sure seems like it. Wow, that's some bold storytelling! Oh. Wait. Nevermind, it's all made up as Tuvok and Tom Paris have to find a way to safely navigate writer's block in a simulation-gone-haywire on... THE HOLODECK!
