PREPARE THE QUANTUM YEET! Strap in with BigJ and Dag as they blow the turbolift doors off with this review of Star Trek: Picard S03E01 - The Next Generation

Today I discuss why we have technology for deepfakes, yet we're still using heavy makeup for actors that have aged out of their character's role. 

Look for this content and more on The Starfleet Podcast Network on YouTube and podcast platforms. The Starfleet Podcast Network. SPN, The SPiN

What do you do when you want to spice up your prequel series? Introduce characters you KNOW we're not supposed to see yet

What's with Star Trek and the celebrity gimmicks?

Chekov rides a nuclear wessel straight through a Wrath of Khan plot hole.

They put baby in the corner.

What happens when you are contractually obligated to give an actor the director's chair because a castmate got to direct a movie? You get Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

What do you do when you have a Mexican American actor playing a Native American character and want to have the portrayal be accurate to Native American customs and beliefs? You hire a man with Jewish ancestry from Los Angeles, California who doesn't know a thing about Native Americans.

What do you get when you combine Star Trek and a director that doesn't know jack squat about Star Trek? You get Star Trek: Nemesis

Love boat Love, exciting and new Come aboard. we're expecting you. Love, life's sweetest reward. Let it flow, it floats back to you. The love boat soon will be making another run The love boat promises something for everyone Set a course for adventure, Your mind on a new romance. Love won't hurt anymore It's an open smile on a friendly shore.  

The love boat soon will be making another run The love boat promises something for everyone Set a course for adventure, Your mind on a new romance. Love won't hurt anymore It's an open smile on a friendly shore. It's love! it's love! it's love! It's the love boat-ah! it's the love boat-ah!

Fire up the grill, I'm going to talk about the Star Trek Insurrection movie we could have had if Sir Patrick Stewart would've just been cool, kept his yapper shut and played ball.

Take this interesting premise: a ship lost 70,000 lightyears away from home, limited resources, clothes on their backs, dangerous and un-known aliens around every corner. Now throw all of that away and what do you have left? Star Trek: Voyager. Grab an extra plate for this beef.

If you're looking for a good 'YAWN', here's some more not news on a Star Trek movie whose chances of happening are lower than student loan debt forgiveness

Suzanne, Renzo, and Dag bring you back to back TO BACK reviews of Prodigy episodes 11, 12, & 13!

First Up, Protostar arrives at a Federation Communications relay - and gets a taste of the threat the Diviner warned about.

Next: To try and neutralize the Diviner's weapon, the Prodigies approach THE BORG!

And, finally: Responding to a distress call, the Prodigies arrive at a Cargo Cult patterned after...Star Flight?

And through it all, Admiral Janeway is diligently re-tracing their steps to find Chakotay...and she might just be bringing the Diviner exactly what he wants!

Tune in here and on youtube for out of this world laughs and more!

Got your seasoning? BigJ is serving up the beef on how the animated series Rick and Morty Lower Decks, I mean Star Trek Lower Decks, is getting beat by the kid's cartoon Star Trek: Prodigy

BigJ brings out the grill for some beef on the paltry appearance of Star Trek merchandise

Prepare for strange as the BTP crew engages, yet again, another giddy late night recording sesh. Star Trek: Lower Decks, S3E05 "Reflections" bring shome a whole lot of deep cuts but, wait, what's this? Big J's Beef stirs some wholesome discussions about what Trek means to each of us. Tune in!

Famous words, said by Spock to McCoy in The Balance of Terror, on which today's show is based - The Quality of Mercy doesn't do anyone any favors - at least, if you're Romulan.

Big J, Renzo, and Dag are back with OH MY GOD THE COSTUMES! THE FUCKING COSTUMES.

Also, there's some trivia, some explosive reveals about the nature of Star Trek, and then we get into D&D and single-father parenting.

All aboard, because where this train's going, we don't need roads.

DAG WAS RIGHT!

But that's besides the point. The Serene Squall introduces us to our first super-hot non-binary villain and we are here for it! Tack on to that, Vulcan Sex Positivity, a Mutiny, Chapel going full John McClane, and our 4th episode in a row without Hemmer! #BringBackBlue

Pivoting off of Ursula K LeGuin, Strange New Worlds masterfully subverts the time honored Vulcan adage "The Needs of the Many" by placing a thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive child in the role of the few or the one. 

The BTP crew wastes no time digging into the ethics and morals of this dilemma, and ends up much like Captain Pike does - having to deal with a reality we can't fix.

In this episode you get not one! not two! nay, not even three, but four - count 'em - FOUR plots!
As critical diplomatic overtures ensue, Spock and T'Pring find themselves entangled. Meanwhile, La'an and Number One discover Enterprise Bingo. Christine Chapel finds herself combating burgeoning relationship woes.

Things like #StrangeNewHorrors, Sybok, and how to knock out a Proud Boy are also discussed.

Dag, Renzo, and Big J swoon as Cadet Uhura takes center stage in Strange New Worlds episode two: "Children of the Comet!"

It's a full house in the lab as Big J, Renzo, Suzanne, and Dag unite to breakdown Star Trek Picard's season 2 episode "Hide & Seek." Despair abounds as Picard has to deal with flash backs and flash bombs while taking on a primitive collective bent on stealing Rios' ship and beelining for the 20th century Borg. Raffi and Seven forge a stronger bond over combat, because who doesn't? And Agnes and the Borg Queen grow closer than even Brad Boimler can imagine.

Come get time loopy with Big J and Dag as they record late into their nights to bring you the latest and greatest introspection into Star Trek Picard's "Mercy".   What do you think follows this episode's Twilight Zone twist?  Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe here!  Follow Us on Twitter @BeyondTrekPod.

Big J, Renzo, & Dag are back to gab about the latest episode of Picard Season 2, "Monsters." We explore childhood trauma from a young Picard's perspective and share our own stories about how trauma scales with time, what we would have liked to see, and what we hope happens on the 3 remaining episodes. There's not much time left to get to the crux of the insanity that was the Confederacy. Let's see what's out there!

Suzanne, Renzo, and Dag dig deep into Picard's sixth Season 2 episode "Two of One". Following the admiral's shenanigans in the 21st century, the paternal party crasher gives the best advice anyone who struggles with intrusive thoughts could probably ever hear. Also, Suzanne dishes on the panels, people, and joy of Mission: Chicago, the much-anticipated Star Trek Convention held last weekend. Don't forget to subscribe to us on Youtube and follow us on twitter!

The Author, Actor, and Legendary Nerd visits the lab and we get deep into the existential. Content warnings for discussions of trauma and abuse. Wil's latest endeavor "Still Just a Geek" is out today at bookstores near you. If you like what you hear here, pick up a copy because you're going to love what you read there. Go Boldly!

Big J, Renzo, and Dag do what they do best as they rip apart Picard Season 2 Episode 5 "Fly Me to the Moon". Honestly, we don't know how we survived all the deep cuts that came up in this episode. Is there a vintage of Chateau Picard from 2286 "The Year of the Whale Probe"? How much minutia is sufferable before it becomes insufferable? Do you think this Borg Queen is the most effervescent and menacing antagonist we've seen? Also, a new classical blunder is discovered: Don't leave the Borg Queen alone on you spaceship when the timeline is on the line. 

Dag is back after a 3 week hiatus, rejoining Renzo and Big J discussing the events of Picard S2E04 "The Watcher". There's much shenaniganery afoot as they wax nostalgic over gratuitous cameos and dive deep into 4th dimensional temporal architecture like no show has done before (at least one that didn't require PHDs). So, press play and boldly go where only we have the hyperfocus to try!

Picard and the crew travel back to 2024 Los Angeles in search of the "Watcher," who can help them identify the point at which time diverged. Seven, Raffi, and Rios venture out into an unfamiliar world four hundred years in their past, while Picard and Jurati attempt to gather information from an unlikely, and dangerous, ally.

As the DMA approaches Earth and Ni'Var. With evacuations underway, Burnham and the team aboard the USS Discovery must find a way to communicate and connect with a species far different from their own before time runs out.

Picard finds himself transported to an alternate timeline in the year 2400 where his longtime nemesis, Q, has orchestrated one final trial; Picard searches for his trusted crew as he attempts to find the cause of this dystopian future.

As the DMA approaches Earth and Ni'Var, Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery attempt to make First Contact with the powerful species responsible before it's too late.

Starfleet must once again call on Jean-Luc Picard after members of his former crew- Cristóbal Rios, Seven of Nine, Raffi Musiker, and Dr Agnes Jurati- discover an anomaly in space that threatens the galaxy.

While Captain Burnham leads an away mission to a planet that was once home to the aliens responsible for the DMA, Book and Tarka secretly infiltrate the U.S.S. Discovery.

Disco goes...where only a legit few have gone before. Check out Dag, Renzo, and Big J as they break down Discovery S4E10 "The Galactic Barrier" and find out why this episode might be the most important of the entire season.

Captain Burnham and the U.S.S. Discovery race to stop Book and Ruon Tarka from launching a rogue plan that could inadvertently endanger the galaxy.

Discovery's mid season hiatus hits the ground running, taking off minutes after the previous episode. Big J, Renzo, and Dag go boldly beyond to bring you the deep cuts, the beef, and the laughs about episode 8 "All In".

Celebrating Character Growth, even if - NAY, ESPECIALLY IF -  you've already seen it a hundred times.

Suzanne is back, joining Renzo and Dag in the latest deep dive into Prodigy's strong, second mid-season finale where the Diviner finally reveals his grand plan.

As the BTP crew often do, the episode review takes a plunge into redemption arcs and villainy. While the crew of the Protostar hatch a plot to save the miners, they're drawn into their own Kaobayshi Maru  Big J, Renzo, & Dag get into it DEEP in this examination of the Diviner. Be a part of it as they GO BEYOND now!

Big J, Renzo, & Dag discuss what happens if your cloned your phone six times and what it means to lack existence in this episode of Beyond Time Trek Podcast.

Who's Aaron Waltke? Probably the most dilligent, Emmy nominated writer and producer of our time.

In this episode, Renzo, Dag, and Suzanne was nostalgically about Prodigy's hiatus-breaking episode, Kobayashi. Featuring the amalgamated voice talents of several Trek legends and the surprise return of one of TNG's most beloved actors, we dive deep and greedily into what can only be described as an absolute labor of love. 

The writer dug through 45 episodes and 90 scripts of Star Trek's 'historical documents' to produce this must-see episode that has everything you've ever wanted from Star Trek's contemporary renaissance.

Boldly Go!

Suzanne Noble (@cxptainjaneway) joins Big J and Dag as they get lost in the thick of Stormy Weather. In some ways, we find the crew Tuvix's over a decision as well as using the Shroom of Requirement to no avail. It gets a little nuts as the recording hours go late... And Dag is eating...again.

Renzo and Dag are joined by Jeff and Mark in a show dedicated to the medical ethics of Star Trek. Which doctor stands out with the most integrity? Which one played fast and loose with Starfleet medical regulations? Take a listen as we judge the Doctors of Star Trek against 21st century medical ethics, too! Welcome to Beyond Trek: The Medical Fontier!

Big J, Renzo, and Dag are back and as prone to detour as ever. Today, we talk about the philosophy of Incarceration, Emergent vs Artifical Intelligence, Astronomical Geometry, Discovery's Evacuation Capacity, and how Gravity and the Speed of Light work in the 32nd century. At some point, there's words about Star Trek Discovery's latest episode, "The Examples".

Join the Beyond Trek Trio as they talk about a new batch of Starfleet Academy cadets in Trek-style trouble and political hoop jumping to rebuild The Federation.

Renzo lays out the hottest take since the Burn about Burnham causing the Burn while the BTP stays up way too late recording their tear down of Star Trek: Discovery, Season 4, Episode 3, "Choose to Live." We were so loopy, we needed 15 minutes just to warm up! Who knows, there's even, like a 5 minute therapy session about listening, learning, and empathizing! Beyond Trek has never been more BEYOND than we are, right here!
