V'Ger Please!

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

Trek for Normies (Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home) 11/21/2024

Trek for Normies (Star Trek IV : The Voyage Home) We wrap up our look at the "Genesis Trilogy" as we review the classic "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"! Joseph defends this light comedy classic, while Peter insists that it's just bad, dated, nonsense slop. Who is right? Listen and find out! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/34072171

The Gang Commits Some Light Treason (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) 11/14/2024

The Gang Commits Some Light Treason (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) The amazing, fantastic Wrath of Khan is followed up by...a kinda cheap, sloppy retcon? Sadly that is the case as we review "ST III: The Search for Spock" ! While the crew pulls off the prototype 'Starfleet has no security' heist, Doc Klingon Brown and his lads show up for some Cold War allegory. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33923257

The OG All Time Banger (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) 11/08/2024

The OG All Time Banger (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) Your podcast heroes treat themselves to the very finest vintage in the Trek cannon in one of our Patreon reviews - "The Wrath of Khan"! We absorb Trek asserting itself as a genuine dramatic world, the Horatio Hornblower in space vibe, and how this made everything else Trek even possible. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33842897

The Deep Space Nine - Season One RIP! 11/01/2024

The Deep Space Nine - Season One RIP! As demanded by principal, practice, and pattern, welcome to the Season One RIP for Deep Space Nine? Join our LIVE takedown of the season-that-was! What was the best episode? Was Move Along Home really the worst? Come find out! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33729472

Pray and Obey the Vedek Winn Way (DS9 S1 :E20 "In The Hands of the Prophets") 10/24/2024

Pray and Obey the Vedek Winn Way (DS9 S1 :E20 "In The Hands of the Prophets") We wrap up DS9's first season as we review the finale, "In The Hands of the Prophets"! Religious conflict, educational policy, and politics large and small all factor in as Deep Space Nine finally figures out what it is going to be about - just as the true big bad of the series shows up. LINK TO JUNE'S GOFUNDME: https://gofund.me/3b01b681https://gofund.me/3b01b681https://gofund.me/3b01b681 /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33592212

War Crimes are No Jokes (DS9 S1 : E19 "Duet") 10/17/2024

War Crimes are No Jokes (DS9 S1 : E19 "Duet") We set (most) of the comedy aside as we go deep on one of Trek's strongest dramatic entries as we review "Duet"! When Kira encounters a man who may be the Bajoran equivalent of Rudolph Hess, she is faced with the kind of complex moral questions that transcends Trek as a medium. Come on the journey with us! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33480602

Starfleet 911, Please State Your Emergency (DS9 S1: E18 "Dramatis Personae") 10/10/2024

Starfleet 911, Please State Your Emergency (DS9 S1: E18 "Dramatis Personae") What fresh brain jacking hell will be birthed from the highway of death this time as we watch "Dramatis Personae"? Well we lose our minds a bit as we consider the sheer madness of the Gamma Quad and lament another bad plot, but at least Peter gets to ruminate on the Naughty Kira possibilities. /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33248292

Dangerous Elevator Confessions (DS9 S1 : E17 "The Forsaken") 10/03/2024

Dangerous Elevator Confessions (DS9 S1 : E17 "The Forsaken") The mother-in-law all of us fear but none of us deserve drops in to the local DOOM level in "The Forsaken". Between the half baked A and C plots, you know an episode is bad when the Lwaxana Troi is the best part. Is the Odo backstory worth the price of admission? Come find out! /episode/index/show/vgerplease/id/33248107

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.

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

V'Ger Please!
