V'Ger Please!

Join two sarcastic Trek nerds on an episode-by-episode journey through the Star Trek universe.

If Wishes Were Whores (DS9 S1 : E16 "If Wishes Were Horses") 09/26/2024

If Wishes Were Whores (DS9 S1 : E16 "If Wishes Were Horses") I know what you are thinking. You see the title, and you look down on us. But you shouldn't, because we reviewed "If Wishes Were Horses"! Witness as just too many insane things happen to even bother trying to preview, from esoteric baseball continuity, to...emus? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33212637

Get Self Sealing Stem Bolts or Die Tryin' (DS9 S1 : E 15 "Progress") 09/19/2024

Get Self Sealing Stem Bolts or Die Tryin' (DS9 S1 : E 15 "Progress") We get a delightful A plot/B plot sandwich as we review "Progress"! When Bajor ends up doing some Horace Greedly level planetary strip mining, Kira has to face off against her most vicious for to date - an extremely charming old man. Meanwhile Jake shows Nog the art of the hustle and the value of property rights. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33116432

Questing in Azeroth ( DS9 S1 : E14 " The Storyteller") 09/12/2024

Questing in Azeroth ( DS9 S1 : E14 " The Storyteller") Nothing like heading down to Bajor and grabbing a few World Quests as we review "The Storyteller"! The Chief and Julian begin the Bromance of the Ages while tanking a raid boss and avoiding stabbing from space truckers. Also Jake and Nog like girls! Come give it a listen. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33015657

Oops, We Killed The Pope (DS9 S1 : E13 "Battle Lines") 09/05/2024

Oops, We Killed The Pope (DS9 S1 : E13 "Battle Lines") When the local Bajoran quest giver decides to make a quick stop at the local DOOM level, absolutely nothing bad will happen as we review "Battle Lines". Sisko decides to take Kai Opaka out for a joyride, but things take a grim turn when they crash on planet Breaking Bad. I'm sure none of this will have consequences at all! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32902427

The Bonus Degra (DS9 S1 : E12 "Vortex") 08/29/2024

The Bonus Degra (DS9 S1 : E12 "Vortex") Star Trek commits its worst possible sin - being boring - as we review "Vortex". While we are happy to see an old guest star friend, it won't be long before we are talking about what is in our junk drawers. One thing though....is the Federation ever going to pass a law on menacing or are threats just a love language? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32784837

Ferengi Backstory? Inconceivable! (DS9 S1 :E11 "The Nagus") 08/22/2024

Ferengi Backstory? Inconceivable! (DS9 S1 :E11 "The Nagus") Another one of the part time hitters shows up into the DS9 roster as we review "The Nagus". When Wallace Shaw rolls in with his perfectly drippy makeup, Quark gets plaid for a stooge, Rom tries to murder someone and no one does anything, and Jake shows in Star Trek even teenage rebellion is wholesome. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32685862

The Lamest Escape Room (DS9 S1 : E10 "Move Along Home") 08/15/2024

The Lamest Escape Room (DS9 S1 : E10 "Move Along Home") The bottom comes for us quickly as we review DS9's most ill-regarded entry, "Move Along Home"! When the finest white trash of the Gamma Quad roll in with their TNG S1 outfits and mullets, we find ourselves agreeing with Ron Moore ... did everyone lose their minds when they made this? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32581132

The D Stands For Daddy Issues (TNG S6 : E16 "Birthright, Part 1) 08/08/2024

The D Stands For Daddy Issues (TNG S6 : E16 "Birthright, Part 1) It's side missions all around for podcasters and flagship bridge officers as we review "Birthright, Part 1"! Staying true to our word to review every episode that takes place on DS9, the crew of The Mighty D pulls in to clear out the quest log. Will Data learn to dream? How many felonies will Worf commit on the station in front of witnesses? Listen and find out! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32492172

Evil Talks Slow (DS9 S1 : E9 "The Passenger") 08/01/2024

Evil Talks Slow (DS9 S1 : E9 "The Passenger") Nothing like a Turbo Evil Space. Dr. Mengele to spice up life on the frontier as we review "The Passenger". When the new Extremely Bad Guy does a little brain melding via choke, it's a grand time of overacting, poorly hidden identities, sudden executions, and ...brain surgery via transporter? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32375547

Sorry I Boinked Your Mom (DS9 S1 :E9 "Dax") 07/25/2024

Sorry I Boinked Your Mom (DS9 S1 :E9 "Dax") Nothing like a touch of that courtroom drama action to get to know all your new characters as we review "Dax"! There is a a cavalcade of veteran Trek guest actors as we get all the detail you may (or may not) have wanted about Dax's boinking both past and present, Detective Odo makes his firm debut, and the plot ends in the strangest way possible. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32284692

No Place For a Q (DS9 S1 : E7 "Q Less") 07/18/2024

No Place For a Q (DS9 S1 : E7 "Q Less") The galactic tourist you never want to see drops in as we review "Q Less"! When Enterprise-D's best known homewrecker Vash is found in the Gamma Quad, some fun capitalism breaks out at Quark's, the big glowy thing is the problem, and Q is just there to make fun of the Starfleet JV squad. JOIN US ON DISCORD: https://discord.gg/dBy4EmFaHJ /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32191202

Rules are for Officers (DS9 S1 : E6 "Captive Pursuit") 07/11/2024

Rules are for Officers (DS9 S1 : E6 "Captive Pursuit") The true Hero of the Working Man makes a friend as we review "Captive Pursuit"! In a future where every copy of "The Most Dangerous Game" was destroyed, Chief O'Brien and his new Gamma Quad drinking buddy engage in a bit of light murder, but are the real criminals the costume department? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/32078597

A Little Early for Space Gibberish (DS9 S1 : E5 "Babel") 07/04/2024

A Little Early for Space Gibberish (DS9 S1 : E5 "Babel") Comedy! Review! Star Trek! Sometimes we also say random words with no connection as we take a look at "Babel"! The Chief gets a case of the weird talkies, Quark gets out his junk drawer of security hacks, and eventually the answer gets volun-told only the way Kira could. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/31995722

Honey, I Cloned an Ex-Con! (DS9 S1 : E4 "A Man Alone") 06/27/2024

Honey, I Cloned an Ex-Con! (DS9 S1 : E4 "A Man Alone") When Odo runs into his least favorite war profiteering jabroni, his sudden case of getting murdered turns up a while meadow of whoopsie daisies in "A Man Alone." Not only does a very evil bit actor gins up a lynch mob, and somehow this overshadows Bashir straight up accidentally cloning a guy! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/31881382

Plain, Simple Garak (DS9 S1 : E3 "Past Prologue") 06/20/2024

Plain, Simple Garak (DS9 S1 : E3 "Past Prologue") Nothing like the introduction to Trek's best 'humble tailor' to spice up our review of DS9's second episode, "Past Prologue". As local medical doofus Bashir gets hand held through his first bit of tradecraft, the best four best parts of the Klingon Empire show up and Kira learns that its never a good idea to try and outflank your boss. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/31820752

This Old Caradassian Deathtrap (DS9 S1:E1/2 "Emissary") 06/13/2024

This Old Caradassian Deathtrap (DS9 S1:E1/2 "Emissary") At last, your favorite Star Trek podcast arrives at the shady port of call you have all been waiting for as V'Ger Please enters the Deep Space Nine era! Come along with us as we review "Emissary" where Commander Sisko has the worst employee orientation ever, magic orbs are immediately handed out, and the most consequential space hole of all time comes into being. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/31726382

Hasperat Homework (DS9 Prep Episode) 05/30/2024

Hasperat Homework (DS9 Prep Episode) Your hosts get ready to complete their PhD in Trek by going back to the classic texts in our official Deep Space Nine prep episode! Joseph and Peter review several key TNG episodes - "The Wounded", "Ensign Ro", "Chain of Command", and "Preemptive Strike" - to refresh themselves on key continuity and characters, and get more than a little lost reminding themselves how great Trek was at it's peak. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/31297307

VOY's Deepest Cuts (ST: Lower Decks "Twovix" Review) 05/16/2024

VOY's Deepest Cuts (ST: Lower Decks "Twovix" Review) Sometimes, the universe sees fit to make something for a VERY specific group of people, and that day came when we watched the Lower Decks episode "Twovix"! Your hosts demand peak performance as they rate every single Voyager joke and reference for quality and accuracy, reflect on Lower Decks as a whole, and wonder if maybe - just maybe - someone somewhere heard our Barkeep Michael jokes and decided to run with it. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30929923

Hell is Real ( Event Horizon Review) 05/02/2024

Hell is Real ( Event Horizon Review) From our Patreon vault comes a review of one of the most underappreciated sci-fi/horror films ever made and personal favorite of both your hosts - 1997's "Event Horizon"! With Joseph and Peter VERY AWARE of tropes around portals to Hell, we dive deep on a movie with vision and ambition that is sorely missing in today's Hollywood offerings. Please enjoy, and if you like these 'extras', please support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/vgerplease /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30929833

The Enterprise Series RIP! 04/19/2024

The Enterprise Series RIP! As was foretold, we have arrived at the end of the Heinous Trip at Warp 5 and now set the whole of Enterprise into it's deserved grave! What was the best? The worst? Was this show late breaking competence enough to make it worth watching at all? We dive deep as we always do to answer the tough question. Listen and enjoy! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30891323

Enterprise Season 4 RIP! 04/11/2024

Enterprise Season 4 RIP! It's that magical time yet again as we reach the end of another Trek season and hand out all our awards for the Enterprise Season 4 RIP! This was a fantastic season of Trek, but we still have lists of the best things, the worst things, the OSHA violations, and so much more! Check it out! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30773793

A Circus of Disservice (ENT S4 : E22) 04/04/2024

A Circus of Disservice (ENT S4 : E22) We enter the times that try men's souls as we review the most unfortunate series finale in Trek history as we review the infamous "These Are The Voyages...". That said...is it really as bad as everyone's says? yeah Trip gets the worst death scene of all time. Sure, the premise only makes a limited amount of sense. But....the worst Trek episode of all time? Is it even the worst episode of Enterprise Season 4? We got all the hot takes, so give it a listen! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30671318

Interview with Tom Salinsky (Author of "Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series") 03/31/2024

Interview with Tom Salinsky (Author of "Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series") It turns out Peter and Joseph are *not* the only nerds watching Trek and sharing their thoughts about it online! From across the pond we interview actor and author Tom Salinsky on his new book "Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series", wherein Tom documents his first own Trek thoughts and reviews. We dig deep on all the big questions: How did British people manage to watch Trek back in the day? Is the Motion Picture really that long? And was Captain Jellico right the whole time? Tune in for a great conversation, and buy Tom's book at the link below! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Discovering-Original-Generation/dp/1399035045 /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30610363

Truth, Justice, and Lanyards for All (ENT S4 : E21) 03/28/2024

Truth, Justice, and Lanyards for All (ENT S4 : E21) The true series finale of Enterprise is here as we review "Terra Prime"! Everyone has plot as RoboCop tries to stay winning,Trip gets the head wounds, Hoshi finally commands, Reed returns to Gotham, and Archer takes until the last second to pull off a Classic Captain's Speech Check. There are no Enterprise episodes after this! No sir! What a satisfying...wait...oh no. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30572983

The RoboCop Supremacy (ENT S4 : E20) 03/21/2024

The RoboCop Supremacy (ENT S4 : E20) The true grand finale of Enterprise begins as we review "Demons"! It's nothing but jam packed excellence as Peter Weller does the best bad guy monologues, Travis gets laid, and Trip and T'Pol attempt the most ill-advised infiltration of all time! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30468438

Putting the 'Ho' in 'Hoshi' (ENT S4 : E19) 03/14/2024

Putting the 'Ho' in 'Hoshi' (ENT S4 : E19) It's all fun and games until its time for the hallway knife fights as we review "In the Mirror, Darkly Part 2"! We get more of everything we loved - abs, Simon Mayweather Phoenix, awesome TOS sets, Mirror Universe scene chewing, more abs, you name it! We also get more of Archer being an evil dweeb, but at least he evaporates a guy! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30366738

The Mirror Into Awesomeness (ENT S4 : E18) 03/07/2024

The Mirror Into Awesomeness (ENT S4 : E18) We arrive at what are likely the most famous and best regarded Enterprise episodes as we at last review "In A Mirror, Darkly"! We have our good pal Ian bust out a whole know theme song for the occasion as we hit all the highlights. For no particular reason we get the awesome nasty versions of our heroes, Jolene's abs getting their moment in the sun, bad haircuts all around, Mayweather as Simon Phoenix, Linda Park spending most of the episode without clothes on, and the deepest Trek continuity cuts you can imagine. This rules, so get in here! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30265788

Hot Orion Slave Girls (ENT S4 : E17) 02/29/2024

Hot Orion Slave Girls (ENT S4 : E17) We are warping right into the Red Light District as we review the very peak Sexy Alien Lady tropes as we review "Bound"! When The NX-01 gets back to doing random space stuff one last time, Archer runs into the very finest Space Hottie train in all the galaxy. Turns out it's a pretty cool episode about how Orion women use overwhelming sexual power to be space pirates, but you may not your kids around as you watch it. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30159398

Five Subplots Deep (ENT S4 : E16) 02/22/2024

Five Subplots Deep (ENT S4 : E16) It's a densely packed hour over here as we review "Divergence"! This one has it all - maybe too much - as Trip has to jump trains to restart the router, Phlox decided to bioweapon everyone, Archer shows up to get juiced on Klingon super blood, AND STILL MORE! We also start to have the conversation every Trek fan must - what is with this Section 31 stuff anyway? /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/30047488

Nonchalant Psychic Connections (ENT S4 : E15 PART 2) 02/15/2024

Nonchalant Psychic Connections (ENT S4 : E15 PART 2) What is hopefully your favorite podcast talks about a lot of things this week, because we only had the second half of "Affliction"to go over. Great episode, Reed is somehow interesting for a change, the Trip/T'Pol gets real weird real fast, bust mostly we ramble about Deus Ex, Voyager episodes, and even AI a little bit. Give it a listen! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/29961883

V'Ger Please!
