The crew of the Enterprise D are enjoying some rare downtime while waiting for a meet up, so they decide to relax a little. Picard plays his flute. Bev and Riker work on a play. Geordi and Data play Science Brothers together, and Worf? He reluctantly decides to be a father to everyone’s favorite little Klingon, Alexander, and go on a Holodeck adventure. The cutest little computer programmer has whipped up a Western complete with saloons, hornery owlhoots, piano players, and prostitutes. Bonus! Deanna Troi joins them as Durango, a rifle-totin’, cheroot chompin’ stranger. It’s all fun and games until Geordi and Data’s little experiment causes the computer to go cattywampus! Suddenly, every owlhoot is Data, and he’s out to hornswoggle Sheriff Worf, and his trusty Deputy Alexander! Will Worf and his sidekicks be able to outfox his ultimate AI enemy? Will Geordi and Data be able to fix the computer? Will Picard ever be able to play his flute in peace?
Remember when the transporter, Holodeck, warp core, etcetera malfunctioned and then, fill in the blank disaster happens? Yeah, this episode THAT happens! It’s episode 6, Season 6, “RASCALS” and it’s kids, kids, kids! Up the space butt with the kids! And the show had just promised us it would tone down on the kids, didn’t it? Did it, or was that just Ambassador Andrew’s wishful thinking? Seems the Enterprise transporter has gone all wicky-wack, but in the tykiest of ways! Picard, Guinan, Ro, and Keiko are beaming back from a… wait, those four together on an away mission?… okay…. They’re beaming back to the Enterprise when O’Brien screws the pooch on the materializing and these fools come in… young! That’s right, the away team returns as younger versions of themselves! Some of them are cool about it– Basically Guinan! And some are conflicted, for sure. Picard has to struggle with commanding a galaxy-class vessel, now with a full head of hair, and a full head lower than Number One! Ro has to struggle with returning to her childhood which was pretty fucked up! Keiko has to try to be a kid-mom and a weirdly awkward kid-wife to the douche that made this nonsense happen, her husband O’Brien! Then there’s Whoopie, kid Whoopie, and she’s chill with the whole being a kid thing again, like n“ n this second time around? Will Riker be able to take orders from his Middle School Captain? Will O’Brien be made the most uncomfortable member of the Next Gen cast in the creepiest of TNG scenes ever… EVER!
The Enterprise is on its way to help Tagra IV, a planet in the midst of an ecological crisis. As part of the mission, they take on an intern, one Amanda Rogers, a plucky young woman with dreams of attending Starfleet Academy. All seems well until odd moments of danger erupt! We’re talking a barrel falling towards Riker – – those damned barrels are a menace!–and Holy Heck! A flippin warp core breach! Geordi and Data race to eject the core, but it explodes, threatening to destroy the ship! Luckly, Amanda Rogers is on the scene and somehow manages to stop the explosion and restore the core to normal. The crew are at a loss to explain this miracle until our good friend Q pops in. According to Q, Amanda just might be a member of the Q continuum, and he aims to find out. Q explains that if Amanda is Q, she needs to join the continuum, but Bev ain’t having it. Picard agrees to allow Q to train Amanda in her powers, but little does he know that Q is under orders to execute Amanda if she doesn’t measure up. Will Q take the life of a promising young intern? Will Riker take her on a date? Will the show bring us more puppies? Find out in this exciting episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!
The Enterprise D is doing its thing, shuttling an ambassador to a… wait a minute, hold on, they’re charting globular clusters! Globular clusters! Wow! They are charting shit which is only slightly more active than shuttling shit, but that’s not the point. Riker can’t get to sleep! For some reason Numbah One keeps waking up feeling unrested! You might be asking yourself, why would this space adventure show be doing an episode where people can’t get a good night of sleep, but really, Riker and the rest of them are getting abducted! Seems Rike’s not the only one missing time and remembering weird shit, even Data! Worf’s got a thing about scissors, Then, crewman dead-face shows up with his blood replaced by sand… or something. Beverley tells Riker his arm has been severed and re-attached – OUCH! This leads the crew to hash it out in the holodeck, finally discovering that they’re being abducted and experimented on! The nasty aliens are also using a portal that is destabilizing the ship! Picard and company develop a plan to reverse- abduct Riker and outsmart the alien menace! Will Data become the next poet-Lauret of the U.S.S. Enterprise? Will Riker ever get over that bed-head? Will the Enterprise ever chart that dense-ass globular cluster?
The Enterprise D is tooling along like it does when they jolt out of warp and find themselves face-to-face with a big ass Dyson Sphere! What’s a Dyson Sphere you ask? It’s a giant shell that encompasses a star, creating a whole new environment for people to inhabit. As crazy as that sounds, the crew finds something even crazier on the surface of the sphere–the wreck of an old Starfleet vessel, the Janolan, and it’s showing signs of life! Riker, Geordi, and Worf beam over to find someone stored in the old ship’s transporter. Well saints be praised, it’s Montgomery Scott! That’s right! Scotty! He was chief engineer of the original Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, or D! Time to break out the booze and the bagpipes! Or is it? Seems being 75 years out of time is making our favorite Scot feel unmoored and without purpose. That is until Picard asks Geordi to take Scotty to the Janolan to recover some ship’s logs on the Dyson Sphere. Good thing, too, because the Enterprise D suddenly finds themselves trapped inside the thing with no way out! Will Scotty and Geordi figure out a way to free the Enterprise? Will Scotty find a new life in the 24th century? Will someone please tell us what happened to Uhura? Find out in this exciting new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!
The USS Enterprise D encounters two battle cruisers, who quickly turn tail allowing our flagship to rescue a mediator Ves Alkar — because on this show, above all else, things need to be mediated. Jev, I mean Ves beams aboard with a companion he calls “Mother” who rants at our wonderful Deanna Troi, accusing her of wanting to get her hooks into Ves! Oh Mother! Oh Troi! Mommy dearest takes an unfortunate turn for the worst, and it gets the worst as it can for her — cause she ends up dead! Dr. Alkar and Troi perform a Lumerian funeral ritual that involves knocking rocks together — come on Deana. This rock rub leads Deana down an unfortunate, although predictable path – I mean, you know what happens to you girl, right? This shit happens to you all the time — remember Kevin Uxbridge? Remember that little dickhead light that impregnated you? Remember Jev, the mind rapist from last season? Troi goes all agro as she becomes the vessel for Ves Alkar’s more base emotions — she’s angry, she’s humpy — she’s not the Deanna Troi we all know and Riker isn’t having it! Plus, she’s aging like a mother fucker! And Will Bev tease out the medical mystery that’s infected our Counselor? Will Riker heal from that nasty Troi scratch? Will Someone ask the production to stop victimizing our favorite ship’s councilor? Find out in “Man of the People” The next exciting episode of ST:TNGEEZ! Not Another Star Trek Podcast!
The Enterprise D is on another of its classic missions. Are we talking about seeking out new life or discovering strange new worlds? Nah. They’re looking for a lost ship, the USS Yosemite, a science vessel that fell out of contact. The Yosemite has the thrilling task of watching plasma stream out from one star to another. An Away Team prepares to beam over to the Yosemite, but, O’Brien warns them that it’ll be a rough ride due to the plasma stream. Since they’re Starfleet officers aboard the flagship of the Federation, Riker, Bev, Worf, and Geordi are all good with it. Then there’s Lt. Reg Barclay, the ship’s resident neurotic who is scared of transporting under normal circumstances. When he hears there might be turbulence, he loses his shit and runs to talk to Troi about it. She’s able to convince him it’ll all be fine, and he should just chillax, but wouldn’t you know it, there’s a worm in the transport stream! Yes, I said a worm! How gross is that? Even grosser is when it bites Barclay on the arm! Is the worm connected to the missing Yosemite crew? Will Bev be able to figure out why a charred corpse is showing signs of life? Will someone finally make Dwight Shultz a convincing wig?
Waiting all summer to find out where your favorite Trek team disappeared to (unless that team consisted of Lt. Worf)? Well if you weren’t sure, it was Nineteen Century San Francisco-Paramount and things get wacky as Jean Luc, Bevahlee, Riker, Geordi, Data, Guinan adventure it up — say, who’s running the ship anyway? Oh, right — Worf. Sad trombone for our favorite Klingon! Seems some energy vampiring aliens are feeding old Earth losers to some kind of energy god, or mother, or I don’t know, don’t try to get me to explain that part of it. Last time we saw our intrepid crew in a cave, following some aliens through a very slowly closing energy rift… wait a minute, I almost forgot, Troi was there too! Troi and the rest of our Enterprise cast, (save Worf), land back in old San Fran and do what we’ve been begging the show to do for five seasons — an original series adventure! They pretend to be a traveling acting troupe for room and board as they hide out in a hospital to nab the energy sucking aliens — PANT PANT. Meanwhile, ol Samuel Clemmens is snooping big time and still following our crew to that cave — no, no, not the cave on PLANET WHATEVER, the cave in San Francisco where they found Data’s head! That cave. They go back there, have an alien encounter where Whoopie gets p’owned and everyone but Picard and Whoopie, (everyone including Mark Twain) gets zapped up into the future, then way UP into the Enterprise! PANT PANT PANT! This old author goes all Alice Through the Looking Glass as Picard boob-holds Whoopie and tries to figure a way to get out of the 1800’s and back to his Galaxy Class Ship! Will Geordie be able to reassemble his best buddy, Data? Will Riker and Worf blow up some aliens (and maybe their Captain?) Will we finally get to learn why Guinan and Picard are so close? No, no, we don’t learn that, we never learn that.) Find out on this exciting episode of ST: TNGEEZ, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!
The USS Reliant under the command of Capt Terrell and First Officer Pavel Chekov is searching for a barren planet to use as a testbed for Genesis, a terraforming device. By sheer coincidence, they end up finding Khan and his followers who are rightly pissed. Ceti Alpha V turned out to be a hellhole, one McGivers could not survive, and now Khan and company are eager to capitalize on the opportunity to escape. Khan sticks creatures in Terrell’s and Chekov’s bodies, and the men hand over Reliant as well as spill the beans on Genesis. Khan sees the opportunity to use this lucky turn of events as a way to get sweet, sweet revenge on his nemesis, Jim Kirk, now an admiral and feeling his age. While on a training cruise with a ship full of cadets, Kirk receives a distress message from his old flame Dr. Carol Marcus who also happens to be the creator of Genesis. He warps to her rescue, unknowingly heading straight into Khan’s trap. Will Kirk be able to best his old foe? Will new officer Lt. Saavik be up for the challenge? Will Kirk and his newfound son David share hair care secrets?
If you didn’t know, we cut a trailer to promote each episode of STTNGeez, Not another Star Trek Podcast. For Episode 22 of Season One, we did our take on the “War on Drugs” because that’s what the show was doing back in 1988. TNG used a heavy hand to dish out some anti-drug rhetoric
In Episode 7 of Season 4 “Reunion” We discuss the unfortunate and untimely demise of the fan favorite character K’Ehleyr in our episode 4.7 — Reunion — (Listen here). Andrew tells us what “Fridging” is and how it was done to the late great Klingon played by the great, great Suzi Plackson (check her out).
So it’s Episode five of Season Four and the boys manage to bring music videos from the 1980s and 90’s into Trek. It makes sense, the episode features a vortex after all, anything could get sucked into it. Andrew: The Vortex Effect, they do it with lasers and dry ice The first time I saw
Do you remember the science fiction show that turned the moon on its ear? It was Space 1999, from the 1970’s and Andrew and Dave remember the shit out of it in Season Three, of ST:TNGEEZ! Not Another Star Trek Podcast. Admiral Andrew: Do you remember Space 1999? Commander Dave E Dave: Oh my god…
The San Diego International Comic Convention is about to return live and in the COVID- soaked flesh for the first time in two years. The convention has been deemed “The CON” by those who know it well, like Andrew. Admiral Andrew has attended The Con ever since the 80’s when Stare Trek the Next Generation was actually still on the air. On STTNGeez!, Episode 2.6: “The Schizoid Man,” Andrew and Dave talk about The Con, and Dave (that’s me), well, I go on one of my charming rants about some of the darker corners of the worlds largest comic convention.
It’s season two of a show and your podcast hosts are still talking about poop! If you thought Andrew and Dave were going to let up on the fecal funnies, well, you should know better by now. But really, they’re talking about matter and how the transporters and the more importantly replicators deal with it

It’s season three of a show where a bunch of people are flying around the galaxy doing shit, like watching a dying star collapse! That’s right, another dying star! Season three starts as everyone’s favorite, a Wesley episode. A Wesley episode? At least the season doesn’t start with someone getting impregnated by a wayward entity! Dr. Paul Stubbs is onboard to witness the stellar explosion when the Enterprise begins to go wickity wack for an unknown reason. Just as the head-scratching begins, a young acting ensign realizes it just might be his experiment that’s sent the Enterprise into a potential solar death-spiral. Uh-oh, Crusher has released some “Nanites” that may be fudging around with his favorite Galaxy-Class vessel! Luckily his mom’s back on board to become a potential victim! (I mean couldn’t he have done these experiments when Pulaski was still on board instead of our beautiful Bev?) Will Picard and crew be able to out-evolve the micro-bots that Wesley Crusher has let loose? Wait, what? Is that the premise of this episode? Will prickly Dr. Stubbs, a character we have zero investment in, be able to see his life’s work fulfilled? And how many times WILL Guinan compare Crusher to Dr. Frankenstein?
