I Quit Star Trek

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.
