Stardate: Supplemental

A Star Trek podcast about the ships not named Enterprise* by the Brothers Weems. A comedic take on the other, more explosion-prone ships of the fleet. (*or Defiant or Voyager or Discovery)

Disco: Supplemental 06/12/2021

Disco: Supplemental The USS Essex never shows up on screen in TNG's season 5, episode 15 "Power Play", but its crew does... well, whatever's left of them that was taken over by telepathic lightning ghosts? Look, it's complicated and the most important thing is that even when possessed by lightning ghosts, O'Brien just wants a snack. Kyle decides this isn't enough, so the brothers go full nerd as they dig deeper into the Essex's deep presence in the beta canon of the books, and all of its encounters with... lizard people?! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/19448651

Burger Shuttle 06/10/2021

Burger Shuttle The Lysian Alliance is a top-of-the-line military force... if it were the 22nd century. Unfortunately they're neighbors with the Federation and the USS Enterprise is suffering from amnesia and here to wreck their day. How bad is it when the Pakled have more firepower than you do? But, hey, Data's a bartender now and the brothers have a really good feeling about this new Kieran guy. Is he going to be a regular? Tune in and find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/19425119

Dorf or Wax 06/09/2021

Dorf or Wax The SS Vico does what all Oberth-class starships does, it inexplicably is destroyed doing basic space science. NEVER server on an Oberth, y'all. It doesn't help that it's also got Timothy on it, who's the kind of kid who assumes he'll doom a whole ship with the press of a button. Also, the brothers continue to fine-tune their experience recording the podcast live on Twitch! And try to ignore the fact that Kyle labelled the Vico as the Nico on the show. >_>; /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/19410812

Pobtoon 06/08/2021

Pobtoon Look there's no sugar-coating this. This is an Alexander episode. And part of an ongoing look at how bad of a dad Worf is. No really, he's just awful. But on the plus side we've got a Soliton Wave Rider, which is a cool test ship that can go to warp without a warp core thanks to a wildly dangerous beam of energy casually shot at another planet... which it'll destroy if it's not somehow stopped first. No big deal. Also, this the first of our "previously recorded live" podcast episodes! Tune in to get it all! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/19396169

Space 80's Part 2: Space 90's 06/08/2021

Space 80's Part 2: Space 90's What the heck is Max Headroom doing in the 24th century with a time pod? And a clock that's also a ring? The brothers try to sort out how 90s an episode of Star Trek can get while also realizing how easy it is for any spacefaring race to destroy a planet's atmosphere at the drop of a hat. All this on our newest pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/19395755

A Taste of Qo'NoS 04/14/2021

A Taste of Qo'NoS the IKS Kruge is like other Klingon Birds-of-Prey, swoopy and glorious on the outside, and harsh concrete on the inside. Yuck. Do Klingons really sleep directly on metal? Captain K'Vada might claim so, but the son of Mogh seems to be enjoying lovely fur blankets every time we watch him canoodling. Despite this obvious lie, K'Vada is pretty clever, willing to tolerate Federation nonsense in exchange for some sweet, sweet Romulan intelligence. Tune into our newest pod for this and more! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/18720050

Ambassador Spaaaaaaaawk 03/11/2021

Ambassador Spaaaaaaaawk Spock is off betraying the Federation or something, but while Picard deals with that boring stuff, Team LaRiker is handed a cargo bay full of wreckage to excitedly sort out. And where does it lead, but to Surplus Depot Z15! Your best source of gently-used starships in the Alpha Quadrant. Brought to you by the Zakdorns, purveyors of strategy and pre-owned goods. Also, the despair of winter has finally set in for the Bros. Will they survive? Tune in and find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/18278261

A Bandolier of Hyposprays 01/19/2021

A Bandolier of Hyposprays When you're a third-tier space-faring race who really wants to take down the Federation but don't even have the firepower to take down the Ferengi, what do you do? If you're Etana Jol of the Ktarians, you get sexy with Will Riker and use him to addict the Enterprise to the worst Occulus Quest VR game ever. And it would have worked too if it hadn't been for those darn kids and their android! Also, the Brothers Weems talk about frying turkey and Big Carpet. Tune in for a brand new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/17599733

Carbonated Beef and Bean Burrito 12/30/2020

Carbonated Beef and Bean Burrito Captain Renaud may not have passed the nightmare hazing ritual that is the Starfleet Academy entrance exam, but nonetheless he has the pride of being a starship captain... albeit of the transport ship Kallisko, a low-end slow-as-heck ship from Nowheresville. Can he save his ship from the massive space pop rock that is the Crystalline Entity? No, he cannot. Meanwhile, the Brothers Weems talk about the wild Kit-Kats of Japan and carbonating dinner classics. Get some antacid. It's an all new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/17369204

Pig Has Beef 12/15/2020

Pig Has Beef Gul Dolak isn't a Gul Dukat. He's not suave, definitely no ladies' man, and he's stuck in a boring assignment in Nowheresville in a remote border region. So when he has the chance to destroy a burning trash-heap of a Bajoran ship, he'll risk angering the flagship of the Federation to do so. Meanwhile, the Brothers Weems get all fanboyish over Ensign Ro Laren, the original Starfleet bad girl, talk VR, and Kyle discovers he has no idea what pigs are made of. Strap on that VR helmet, it's a new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/17204297

Bug Scientist Extraordinaire 11/22/2020

Bug Scientist Extraordinaire The Children of Tama can only talk in memes, really dank obscure memes, at that. Which makes the Universe a very lonely place. The boredom of never being able to talk to anyone other than his own crew makes Dathon, captain of the Tama, so wound up that the only way to get relief is to beam down with JLP, a pair of daggers, and hope for the best. But does old man Picard know enough about memes to make this work? Also, Conrad's a dad?! It's time for another wild pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/16903322

Willie T. Frakes 09/18/2020

Willie T. Frakes Riker & Geordi get to reform the dream team of LaRiker when it's time to form a Tachyon Detection Grid to find hidden Romulan ships, taking over the USS Excalibur. While they're having a fun time, Data gets saddled with a way less good time on the falling apart USS Sutherland, complete with first officer Christopher "The Nob" Hobson. Will Data survive Hobson's intransience? Will Kyle live up to Riker's birthday advice? Will Conrad learn how to pretend to be a trombone? Tune in and find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/16059269

A Mouthful of Beard 09/10/2020

A Mouthful of Beard When you're in the Klingon Civil War, there's not a better ship in Gowron's fleet to serve on than the IKS Hegh'ta, where none other than the two hottest singles in the Empire, the Sons of Mogh, serve. Can weapons officer Worf stand serving under his little brother Captain Kurn? Is beard-chewing a form of Klingon foreplay? Will the Brothers Weems agree upon the fair market value of remote office workers in a world without offices? Tune in and find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/15955097

Replicators & Fart Jokes 09/02/2020

Replicators & Fart Jokes Season 4 of TNG is behind us, and to light it on fire in a boat on its way to Sto-vo-kor, the Brothers Weems drag producer Kevin onto the show for a look back at the ships of the season, Ferengi nepotism, the nightmare that is Starfleet Academy entrance exams, and whatever else comes to their minds. What's their favorite ship of the season? Did Picard grow up to become the same crazy-pants admiral we see as guests in the TNG days? Get some popcorn and strap-in for this mega-sized season finale! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/15854819

Oberth-Class Truck 07/23/2020

Oberth-Class Truck When you're Gowron, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, you can't just fly around in any old junky bird-of-prey. No, you need the new hotness that is a Vor'cha-class cruiser like the IKS Bortas. Which, despite its new hotness, seems to be all steel and cement inside with no windows. Is that a good thing? Well, it does help when Duras loyalists are pounding you! Will Gowron survive the Klingon Civil War? What does "Pistachio Nine Blue" even mean? Tune in to answer at least one of those questions! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/15322295

Multi-Story Sports Mayhem 07/16/2020

Multi-Story Sports Mayhem 24th century Romulans have exactly one look: pageboy haircuts, bondage leather straps, and square-as-heck 90's power shoulders. All of which Sela, the commander of the warbird Gorakus, rocks with one unusual feature: blonde hair. The half-human daughter of an alternate reality's Tasha Yar (just go with it), Sela's blonde locks aren't stopping her ambition to destroy the Federation. Will she outwit Picard? Will Dwight the Murder Deer kill Kyle in his sleep? What sport is multi-story? Tune in to find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/15229127

Cards and Gagh Night 07/02/2020

Cards and Gagh Night The only thing worse for a new officer in Starfleet than being assigned to an Oberth-class starship is being assigned to an Oberth-class starship that's being used as a retired admiral's bus. Worse yet, for the crew of the USS Cochrane, that admiral is Norah Satie, who's trying to bring the Inquisition back in style. Will acting captain Aguilar keep the remnants of his crew alive after her draconian trials? Will Lt. Kurland get his friendship braclet back from J'dan? Only one way to find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/15053858

Bottles and Bottles of Antimatter 06/23/2020

Bottles and Bottles of Antimatter The USS Brattain is, like all Miranda-class starships in the 24th, a pretty grim place to be assigned. How grim? Well, for one, the folks at space dock didn't even put spell the name on the hull right. Also there's used mall doors as substitute walls on the bridge? The only mercy is their inevitable death when a region of space time causes them to never dream again. Oh wait... did we say mercy? All this, and Conrad laughs for like two minutes straight like Data from that Q episode. /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/14929892

The Space 80's 06/12/2020

The Space 80's Haven might be the poor man's Risa, but it's still a great place to take a vacation. Which is a real problem when the would-be tourists from Tarellia show up with their horrible plague. Sure, they're sick, and will kill everyone if they beam down, but they're sexy sick, and are strutting around with the featheriest hair any hair metal band has ever prayed for. Will Troi get hooked up with Wyatt? Will Riker survive being called Bill? Will the Weems Brothers survive Covid? Tune in to find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/14794334

Soloist Flute Career 06/02/2020

Soloist Flute Career When Riker tries to study some seriously weird-handed aliens with a sub-par disguise, it only takes one riot for him to land in the emergency room of the Sikla Medical Center. Unfortunately for him, the main treatment they're offering is rabid xenophobia and doctor-administered kicks to the ribs. How are these doctors able to keep their licenses? What monsters put carpet in a trauma center's hallways? All this and more as the Brothers try to keep sane in the apocalypse. /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/14662442

Yoctogon 04/29/2020

Yoctogon Ventax II is the perfect place to be a Federation scientist. A peaceful agrarian society. Extra baggy jumpsuits. Some great wine tours. Oh... and the literal, actual devil. The devil's a'comin and the whole station is a dreary concrete slab, proving once again that the only Federation scientists are either evil or actively suffering due to poor life choices. Grab some fainting salts, because JLP is going to be baring some major leg in the newest pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/14195315

Trials and Trib-OZ-lations 01/02/2020

Trials and Trib-OZ-lations Captain Lynne Lucero's first command is right up her alley. A science mission on a science ship! Which is, naturally, why she's utterly doomed. If there's anything that Star Trek makes absolutely clear, it's that small science ships like the USS Cabot are ripe for self-destruction due to one mad scientist or the other. In this case, that mad scientist is Lt. Edward Larkin. Will Lucero survive? All this, and the brothers pay tribute to Oz Tiltycat, who's moved on to Sto-vo-Kor. Qapla'! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/12591002

Chin Gutter Action 10/15/2019

Chin Gutter Action It's the first-ever Stardate: Supplemental live show! The brothers talk about the Cardassian ship Trager, it's thirsty bondage-gear-wearing officers, and Gul Macet's unconventional moisture-control facial hair style. If that wasn't enough, it includes a Will Riker-themed quiz between Conrad and everyone else in the venue! Will the brothers survive their first live event? Will they repair the rift with Murphy's Apple Juice? Listen in and find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/11654990

Bolian Butt Rock 09/26/2019

Bolian Butt Rock Captain Benjamin Maxwell is one of Starfleet's finest officers... except for the fact that he's lost his mind and has started attacking defenseless Cardassian cargo ships with the USS Phoenix. Why is the whole ship crew participating in these crimes? Probably because Benny bludgeoned his protesting first officer to death with the ship's dedication plaque and nobody else wanted to be next. Can Bobby and the USS Hood contain Maxwell's madness? Can Gul Macet's face contain his chin-stache? Tune in to find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/11410649

Buttering Picard's Head 09/16/2019

Buttering Picard's Head Admiral Mendak is one heck of a smooth Romulan warmonger, making his counterpart Admiral 'T. Hawk' Tomalak seem like a frothing sociopath by comparison. And when the Devoras outwits the Enterprise, he can't help but relish the opportunity to rub it in. And in. And in. Will his and Selok's love reignite after a 17 year break? Will Longo and Robinson's marriage go off without a hitch? Will George Takei ever listen to our podcast? Tune in to find out! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/11269982

Sausage: Supplemental 09/09/2019

Sausage: Supplemental As an Ambassador-class starship, the USS Zhukov was one of the darlings of Starfleet a generation ago. Now it's nothing more than an ambassador bus, just like the much older Excelsiors of the fleet. No wonder they got stuck with Barclay for years. Commander T'Ron, the most mustachio'd Vulcan in the fleet, won't let that be an excuse for discipline to slip. Also: Longo and Robinson are getting married?! Can Dr. Borik survive being the best man? Replicate a bow tie, it's a new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/11181494

All Cockpit, No Walkpit 09/03/2019

All Cockpit, No Walkpit The mining shuttle Nenebek is 80% cockpit and 120% unfit for shuttling Federation officers about in. But that doesn't stop so-called chief engineer Geordi LaForge from greenlighting the Enterprise's captain from getting on Captain Dirgo's rust bucket. Which literally crashes less than a minute later. Is Dirgo a low-rent Han Solo cosplayer? How will we all deal with saying goodbye the Hood's acting ensign and resident bad boy Jake Kurland on his final mission? Brace yourselves, we're crashing into a new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/11107058

Butt Trombone Action 08/12/2019

Butt Trombone Action The IKS Vor'cha is one big bad ship, the jewel of the Klingon fleet. And it's spending most of its time hauling around K'mpec, the longest-serving and fattest chancellor in Klingon history. But now K'mpec is dying! Can Bobby handle the right of succession as smoothly as Picard would? Are K'Ehleyr and Kalas old high school besties? Doesn't the Klingon poet K'ontrell sound really familiar? Load up the newest pod on your tricorder for all of this and to hear about Kyle's home improvement envy. /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/10864181

Arizona Dawn 07/31/2019

Arizona Dawn Doctor Dalen Quaice, AKA discount Wilford Brimley in space, has had it with Starbase 133 after years of serving whiskey under the table in the infirmary. And why wouldn't he after a dead wife and too many broken bones repaired after constant chicanery from Parrises Squares matches? Meanwhile, has life as a single dad rendered the USS Hood's Kevin Kurland insane? Would Conrad rather be interrogated by the Tal Shiar or Section 31? Pack a small, oddly shaped Federation suitcase. It's time for another pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/10725848

Nachos in Space 07/21/2019

Nachos in Space The Q'Maire is among the top of the line when it comes to Talarian warships... which means when it comes to a slugging match with the Enterprise it's rockets and x-rays have no chance of accomplishing anything. But Captain Endar is ready to fight for his son, Jono, even if he is just another random blonde heartthrob from the 90's. Also, the Brothers Weems are fiending hard for nachcos. Like too hard. Like shredded targ and spicy pepper nacho hard. Melt that cheese and strap in, it's a new pod! /episode/index/show/stardatesupplemental/id/10603544
