For five years we toiled over Star Trek: DS9 without break or surcease. Now we stretch lazily and do whatever we want.

Even the LARB had to get in on kicking s3 of Strange New Worlds while it was down.
Turns out though if you wanted to hear most of the points they made, you could have listened to a podcast with even more insights. And more obscenities and yelling!

After ten years of the shame and ignominy of having a podcast, I’ve found that while consistency may indeed be key, the trick to longevity is actually contempt for release schedules and listener whims.
Oh the audience fucking hates that though. That’s true.

For our new issue, Brace Belden writes on podcasts, the sickos who make them, and the sickos who listen.
The Hatred of Podcasting | Brace Belden
In 2015, if you said, “I heard it on a podcast,” you were trying to sound smart. In 2025, it’s better to lie.

We’ve been watching more movies and talking about them on the main feed lately. Especially proud of all the insights Hugh had to the John Ford of it all in Eddington, which you should go see before listening to our dumb podcast

Rip to a real one. Also the spoonhead (pardon the slur) in one of the best DS9 eps, Duet (s1e19), and also the judge from Ghostbusters
Harris Yulin, the ever-present Emmy-nominated actor who appeared in such films as Scarface, Clear and Present Danger and Training Day and on television in Frasier, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Ozark, has died. He was 87.

So here I am reminding you of that Star Trek: Section 31 movie.

We’re podcasting Lower Decks, and sure it’s all over now, but you’ll have to wait til we get to the finale. This is probably the most nsfw we’ve been. Sorry and/or you’re welcome to those with feelings about echidnas and Klingon sex practices

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

I'd trade EVERY CGI shot on Star Trek Discovery for better writing. AND the Volume.

Among my biggest beefs with Discovery was that the galaxy was such a tiny place. That’s only partly the fault of the spore drive if the threat/season macguffin can chase you from one end to the other at the speed of plot.

Now that we’re a week out, I’m going to share my biggest little gripe about the Star Trek Discovery finale: Sisko’s baseball in Dr. Kovich’s office. That’s an artifact of great significance for Bajorans, and must be returned to Bajor immediately.
