Hi Intertrekkies! Here's a rerun of our ode to the Borg Queen, dedicated to all you Picard-watchers out there. And don't worry, we'll have a totally fresh Q ep out to you soonsoon!     

Repulsive yet seductive, powerful and enigmatic, the Borg Queen is one of our favorite Star Trek villains. In preparation for Star Trek: Picard, Becca and Ryan kick off InterTREKtional Season Two with this deep look at the Borg's baddest bitch.

Uh-oh! You've just experienced a transporter accident, and now everyone around you looks the same but is acting very strange. Your midriff is exposed, and your coworkers are making aggressive sexual advances. Welcome to the (dun dun dunnn) Mirror Universe. Don't worry, Becca and Ryan are here to hold your hand, while we explore how queerness and kink are used as shorthand for EEEEVIL.  

******Mild Spoiler Alerts for: Star Trek Mirror Universe eps, The Suicide Squad, Stargate SG1, Rick and Morty (S5E5), and Netflix's Bonding.******

Happy New Year, Intertrekkies, and welcome to Risa! All that is ours is yours. Today's topic: SEX WORK. Strap in for a deep dive into this important topic.  Also, 2nd wave feminism, Picard's package, costume obsessions, and more!

Lovely Intertrekkies, we hope you're doing alright out there as we drag on into the nth month of this pandemic. To help you through it, here is a deep dive into Star Trek's portrayal of widespread, highly virulent, or large-in-the-literal-sense diseases. Mask up, stand far away from each other, and put us in your earballs!

Becca and Ryan are VERY into Star Trek: Lower Decks and here's our pitch for why you should be, too. Join us for a SPOILERIFIC episode where we discuss everything from holomovies to calling out your friends when they say problematic shit.

Intertrekkies, we missed you! We're back with an all new episode, diving into the Discovery premier: Klingon teeth, Vulcan Supremacy, and lady time, we've got it all.

In this Extra we recorded a week ago, when the boredom of isolation seemed like our most urgent issue, we talk about what we've been watching while in quarantine (The Matrix trilogy, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Great, Solar Opposites, and Midnight Gospel). ***Some mild spoilers!***

Becca and Ryan welcome back special guest Molly Sanchez (@seriousmolly) to discuss Star Trek 2009! Over a decade has passed since this gem hit theaters, and we're so hot for it, you can measure our temperatures in Kelvin ;) Join us as we discuss the power of EYEBROWS, the absurdity of fencing in a movie full of battling spaceships, and whether or not you can pass the Bechdel test in your underwear.

Star Trek Picard's Finale Recap is here! Picard is streaming free right now, catch up and binge our season! <3 Becca and Ryan are surviving sheltering in place and getting their signature feminist Trek takes to you, if a little late. Forgive us, it's been a weird week. Season one comes to an end and we have a lot of thoughts.

The pandemic is here, y'all! Due to sheltering-in-place, we could not record this episode in the same room, so please forgive any odd audio. ************************SPOILERS******************* Nevertheless, join Becca and Ryan, and the Motley Crew on their very first Away Mission <3. We follow them through beautifully-scored vistas with a woeful lack of hats, to a magical land of gold robots. Also, Picard makes a big announcement and everybody gets emotional. But don't forget, et in Arcadia ego - even here there's death.

So much happens in Episode 8 of Picard that we can hardly summarize our podcast without spoilers, so ********************************************************************SPOILERS****** Raffi puts on her detective hat and solves at least two, maybe three mysteries this episode, with the help of all five emergency Rios look alike holograms. Soji and Agnes have feelings. Seven and Elnor have ACTION SCENES. Becca and Ryan have lots of thoughts.

Content Warning: Suicide and Rape.

***HERE THERE BE SPOILERS***

Ryan and Becca get emotional this week when Picard is reunited with Riker and Troi. We meet their precocious tween daughter and spend a lot of time ogling the idyllic wilderness. Soji learns about Data. Meanwhile, shit is going down on the Borg cube, and Sister F*ckboy is LIVING for it.

(Content Warning: PTSD, addiction, incest, the Holocaust) This week Becca and Ryan take Soji's return as a jumping off point to discuss Fembots, the Pygmalion myth, and Pinocchio. Also (mild spoiler) Hugh is back! Plus, how is Raffi holding up? Join us for our analysis of The Impossible Box.

Seven of Nine is back in a bomber jacket! We are here to chat Borg, crazy costumes, queering villains, and more space socialism. What happens in Free Cloud stays in Free Cloud, but spoilers lie ahead. Also, more wine.

Special Guest Host Molly Sanchez (@seriousmolly) fills in for Ryan this week! She and Becca get deep in Planet Vashti - permanent refugee camp for the Romulan diaspora. We ask the tough questions: who’s going to make out with whom, what do all of Captain Rios’s emergency holograms do anyway, and where can Becca get that hat? Also, we meet Space Legolas and some ninja nuns. Strap in!

***SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*** Picard enlists his frenemy Raffi, bad-boy Captain Rios, and our fav Dr. Anges Jurati to finally engage in his space adventure. Dr. F*ckboy seems to only exist in a state of sexy-danger-flirting, even with his sister...? Soji plays Tarot-Cataan with a Romulan-ex-Borg mythologist, as Chateu Picard gets invaded by goons. Join us as we discuss all this and more!

Robots have to work on a holiday, and honestly that's kind of BS. Picard argues with his Romulan housemates, his doctor, and Star Fleet, but still doesn't step foot in a ship. Soji hooks up with Dr. F*ckboy and helps cute new trill Dr. Naáshala Kunamadéstifee fasten her belt. Not all Romulans are spies, but there are a lot of Romulan spies. Dr. Agnes Jurati drinks Earl Grey. Hot. Spoilers abound.
