A Star Trek podcast in which three nerds watch all of Star Trek, in chronological order, one of them enduring it all for the very first time. Hosted by PJ Montgomery, Mat Troy and Eliot Red.
Team MOAF were out tonight to watch a play what Mat co-wrote. A brilliant night was had by all. We’re very proud of the work Mat’s done, and hope you all get the chance to see Dead Air some day.

We are still being dogged by technical issues at all times. But despite that, a new episode came out today! @andywclift.bsky.social joins us to look at Through the Valley of Shadows, a couple of great scenes surrounded by a so-so episode of Discovery! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek

New episode! We look at Perpetual Infinity, an episode so interesting, that we discuss many other TV shows and films instead. Like, more than usual. #StarTrek

New episode! We look at The Red Angel, an episode that is… eh, it happened. After some highs, it seems season two of Discovery is going back down.
Also, our previous episode came out, but we forgot to promote it. So listen to that too.

New episode! Rachel England joins us to watch If Memory Serves. This would be a terrible episode to introduce someone to Star Trek with. It’s also Rachel’s introduction to Star Trek. Oops. Our bad! Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #Discovery #podcast #StarTrekpodcast

New episode! We watch The Sound of Thunder, and all think it’s good actually?!?! Also, there’s some chewing, and we’re sorry. But also not sorry, as the chocolate was delicious. #StarTrek

We forgot to promote it yesterday, but new episode! We look at Saints of Imperfection, as the Discovery crew journey into the mycelial network to recover one of their own. And get a delightful extra. Wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek

New episode day! We watch An Obol for Charon (don’t pay the ferryman). And it turns out, PJ and Mat have been torturing Eliot with sub-par #StarTrek for so long, that the poor man has become exasperated to the point of forgetting how mysteries work. Bless.

In our latest episode, we discussed actuaries. What are they? What do they do? Well, our own Mat Troy thinks he knows. He may have even seen one. Here is his drawing of an actuary.

Look, it’s a bank holiday week, and we’re all discombobulated, so we forgot to promote our new episode yesterday. Anyway…
@milmo.bsky.social is back on the show, as we look at New Eden! An episode that divides opinion among us. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

New episode day! And we start Discovery season 2 proper. With an episode that slightly divides opinion among us. You won’t be too surprised by who disliked it the most.

New episode day! We look at Runaway, which is definitely an episode of Short Treks. That much is certain. And is about the most positive thing we’ve got. Plus! Mat finds a spine! Yes, a spine.

Oh, hello. Bet you didn’t expect to hear from us again. But we. Are. BACK! We finally begin our sixth season by looking at The Escape Artist, an episode of Short Treks which also happens to be @mikemcmahan.bsky.social’s first writing credit on #StarTrek. Wherever you get your podcasts.

The question is, when do we cover it? Arguments can be made for after Beyond, after Picard season 3, or after Discovery season 3. We have some thoughts. But what are yours?
