Season 1

S1E2 - “Our Man Bashir” (DS9 S4 E10)

When a runabout gets blown up by space terrorists before the crew can fully transport to Deep Space Nine, it’s up to “Our Man Bashir” to keep their transporter patterns busy - and alive - in the holosuite. This send-up of James Bond (referencing another send-up of the superspy, Our Man Flint) is a holo-DELIGHT.

Why does the holosuite always turn off safeties when things go wrong? Which actor plays the campiest character? Why does Garak want Bashir to kill everybody?

Deep Space Nine’s least important officers discuss diplomatic mission invitations, cooking, and power coupling repairs on The Promenade.

We encourage you to watch “Our Man Bashir” from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4, Episode 10!

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

CBS has announced another new Star Trek series: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The boys spool up the holodeck to discuss the news. Will there be… exploration? Will it be good fanservice or BAD fanservice? Will they bring back Kirk? SHOULD they bring back Kirk?

S1E3 - “Encounter at Farpoint” (TNG S1 E1) + “The Practical Joker” (TAS S2 E3)

It’s an episode of firsts! We examine the first time the holodeck ever appears in a CANON episode of Star Trek, in the series premiere of The Next Generation, while also watching the first time a version of the holodeck appears in The Animated Series, where it’s called “The Rec Room.” We discuss holodeck bug reports, “Chekhov’s rock,” the undercelebrated genius of a “Kirk is a Jerk” shirt, and go over the history of the holodeck as a concept and execution. The Enterprise’s least important officers meet for the first time in Ten Forward and try to figure out whether to suck up to Picard or Riker, how to get a permission slip to go down to Farpoint Station, and how many Enterprises there are during a saucer separation. We encourage you to watch “Encounter at Farpoint” from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1, Episode 1 and “The Practical Joker” from Star Trek: The Animated Series Season 2, Episode 3!

S1E4 - “Bride of Chaotica” (VOY S5 E12)

Photonic aliens (from the 5th dimension!) invade Tom Paris and Harry Kim's adventures in the Captain Proton holodeck program. Voyager's crew now has to stop the holodeck program's ultimate villain - CHAOTICA - from endless war with these photonic beings. Who else is better positioned than the "Bride of Chaotica" herself: Captain Janeway! Please check out "Bride of Chaotica!" from Star Trek: Voyager, Season 5 Episode 12!

S1E5 - "Manhunt" (TNG S2 E19)

Lwa… Lwax… Lwaxa… LWAXANA? Troi’s mom comes aboard the Enterprise and thanks to Betazoids’ Super Menapause called “The Phase” she’s ready to mingle. Captain Picard retreats into the holodeck’s “Dixon Hill” program to relax, but the program (and Lwaxana) have other ideas. We encourage you to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Manhunt” - Season 2, Episode 19!

S1E6 - "Author, Author" (VOY S7 E19)

The Doctor has penned a holonovel: Photons, Be Free. In the process, it turns out he may have committed some accidental defamation. See, his holonovel takes place on the USS “Vortex” commanded by Captain “Jenkins” and piloted by Lieutenant “Marseille.” And he’s made everybody in the story a huge jerk. We encourage you to watch Star Trek: Voyager’s “Author, Author” - Season 7, Episode 19!

S1E7 - "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" (DS9 S7 E4)

Captain Sisko’s old nemesis from Starfleet Academy, Solok, has challenged Deep Space 9’s crew to a game of baseball. Sisko wants to win at any cost, but will his obsession drive a wedge in the DS9 crew? Will Solok and his team of all-Vulcans learn a lesson about sportsmanship? It’s “The Niners” vs “The Logicians” - Sisko vs Solok!

We encourage you to watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” - Season 7, Episode 4!

S1E8 - “Unexpected” (ENT S1 E4)

In this “Unexpected” holodeck episode, the NX-01 Enterprise’s Commander Tucker finds himself in intimate contact with a species named Xyrillians - and their ship is a real… “Trip.” Trip learns the hard way that what may seem a simple holographic "RIDE ON A ROWBOAT" can end up having lifelong repercussions.

This is one of two “Enterprise” episodes to ever feature the holodeck, so enjoy!

S1E9 - "Booby Trap" (TNG S3 E6)

"You're a woman, right?" Geordi creates the perfect holodeck date, down to a beachside pirate violinist... and somehow strikes out?! No worries - the Enterprise gets caught in a thousand-year-old radioactive "Booby Trap" and Geordi decides the best way to find a way out is to... form a relationship with a holographic projection of the ship's designer, Leah Brahms. Yeah.
