Episodes
When the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C emerges through a time rift, the future is drastically changed. In this nightmarish version of the future, the Federation is losing a long war to the Klingons, Tasha Yar is still alive, and Donald Trump was elected President -- not once, but twice! After uncovering the secret to Trump's success -- a sports almanac from the future -- Picard and Crew embark on a quest to re...
When Commander Riker is accused of murdering (yet another) recluse Star Trek scientist, Picard must decide if extradition is warranted. But when the holodeck recreations start showing very different ^ahem^ perspectives of the events leading up to the station's destruction... Sarah and Allie wonder, "Does this episode even have a point?"
Picard and Company attempt to hang a moon back in the sky of some planet when John de Lancie drops into the D -- naked and afraid. With Data as Q's humanities professor, will Q grow as a person and actually show some compassion?
When a group of ANTIFA separatists take Dr. Crusher hostage hoping to find a cure for what ails them, Picard and Company are forced to consider bargaining with the terrorists. But when the terrorists are revealed to only be conisdered the bad guys because they want independence from the state, we once again ask, "What, who are the good guys again?"
When the Enterprise visits a world seeking Federation membership, the crew is caught in the middle of a prison break. But when the "criminal" turns out to be a bioengineered soldier built for war and abandoned afterward, Star Trek delivers a brutal indictment of America's ongoing failure to support its veterans.
When a Romulan defector claims there's a secret military base in the DMZ—but offers no evidence—Picard must decide whether this is a genuine attempt to stop a war—or classic Romulan misdirection. When it's revealed that Tomalak is exploiting the claim as part of a disinformation campaign to spark war, Sarah and Allie get political. Again.
While responding to a ransacked Federation outpost, the crew finds themselves in the middle of another civilization divided. The Acamarians are prepared to welcome home their Gatherer brethren from exile, but old clan rivalries thought to have ended long ago resurface. Can Picard negotiate a final end to the clan wars and a peaceful return home for the Gatherers?
This episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation contains scenes of Sexual Assault. Listener discretion is advised.
When an alien race opens an eBay auction for control of the only known stable wormhole which just happens to be in their space, Deanna Troi is swept away by a mysterious bidder named Devinoni Ral. When Ral turns out to also be Betazoid and using his abilities to win th...
A tale of two enemies: Geordi is trapped on Planet Hell with an injured Romulan crash survivor and a VISOR that doesn't work while Worf is the only person on the D who can save the life of another injured Romulan recovered from Planet Hell. Will they be able to put aside their differences to save lives? The answer may surprise you.
When the D gets stuck in a booby trap while studying an Ancient Alien spaceship, Geordi conjures up a holodeck recreation of one of the designers of the Galaxy Class. But when the writers do a brotha dirty, Allie and Sarah grab their heaters and head for the transporter room.
When an away mission goes wrong, Spot Conlon is left without parents and has to sell newspapers to get by. But when Worf and an ancient alien compete to step into the empty space, Star Trek inspects the healing and grief process.
When a hidden observation outpost is revealed to a primitive culture who long ago abandoned their belief in the supernatural, Picard becomes a god figure and the Prime Directive gets violated deeply, OH MYYY. Will Picard choose to play god, sabotage the achievement these people have made, and send them back into the Dark Ages of superstition and ignorance and fear?
When the Enterprise responds to a distress call, they find an entire planet destroyed save for one 5 acre plot and a couple of elderly residents with good tea in a nice house. But when things aren't quite adding up, Picard breaks character and does some solo sluething.

When Commander Data is the only officer able to execute an evacuation mission, he finds the people unwilling to leave. Meanwhile, Picard pores over hundreds of treaty pages looking for a loophole. Will Data convince the settlers to leave before they're killed by the Sheliak? Will Picard convince the Sheliak to give him an extension? Just what type of batteries does a Soong-type vibrator take?
When Dr. Beverly returns to Star Trek: The Next Generation, she finds that her relationship with her son has changed in her absence. Meanwhile Wesley's science project gets loose and installs 1990's Star Trek screensavers all over the ship and yet another wild-eyed scientist obsesses over a science project of his own.
When Star Trek: The Next Generation runs out of money, Bill finds himself with a parasitic infection that causes him to replay scenes from earlier episodes. When Humanist Trek finds itself stuck in a clip show, what else is there to do but put a clip show in a clip show?
While the Enterprise plays a war game that Picard doesn't really want to play, Data is manipulated into playing a board game he doesn't want to play. This week we learn that there is such a thing as too much self-confidence.
When Worf's old flame shows up on the D, the tension gets thick. But once she gets his thicc Ds, Klingon honor bullshit insists that they're married. As several characters navigate being stuck between two different cultures, an old Klingon ship full of Japanese holdouts is about to wake up still believing they're at war. How do you even begin to bring them into the 24th Century? Well, we don't know because...
When Mrs. Troi shows up in the middle of a midlife crisis, her horny attention turns to just about every man on the ship. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc hides in the holodeck while Worf schools Wesley on not judging a fish person by it's scales. Then they turn out to be assassins? What?
When the Enterprise stumbles upon a forgotten Earth colony whose planet is in danger, the racist Irish stereotypes get turned up to 11. The neighboring colony made up of clones needs new DNA to survive. The solution seems pretty simple, but what happens when you set up your Trump supporting, toxic manosphere, dudebro cousin with your hot socialist Bernie Bro bestie?
