Ricardo and Sara have never watched Star Trek before! So Marvin and Dan are taking them on a journey to watch it all, one episode at a time! From unhinged unrelated tangents to deep philosophical discussions, you'll never know what the week's episode might draw out of us! We're currently going through Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, alternating by air date! New episodes every Tuesday!

    Masks! Once again, a Star Trek crew is taken over by the memories of some sort of alien archive and are forced to jump through hoops in order to exorcise the memory ghosts. Is this, like, a thing Joe Menosky likes doing? What's up with that?

    Shadowplay! Odo and Kira meet the thing that Ricardo was talking about since season 1 of TNG. Y'know, that thing. With the things. The people. You'll see what we mean. Also, Kira and Vedek Bareil finally bang!

    Thine Own Self! What if Data was Frankenstein? Well, that's the premise of this video, and we completely misunderstood it! Still, though, it seems like Data's been through kind of these same adventures before, eh?

I've been doing a rewatch of all of Star Trek, including TOS and TNG, and this has been a great way to keep up with it and think more deeply about the episodes (even if 'thinking deeply' means considering how much better any individual episode would have been if time travel were involved). Great content!

Great way to rewatch trek!

I have a history of cancelling online shows. Stuff on the tends to go away after I discover it. Here's hoping that isn't the case for once. I'm going through TNG from start to finish for the first time after stopping and starting many times over the years. This is a fun listen after each episode! Knowledgeable, kind, easy to listen to and sometimes enjoyably clueless (in fairness TNG is hard to follow early on lol) presenters. Great stuff guys!

Fun!

Do you like Star Trek? Do you hate Del Taco? Do you wonder what may or may not be possible in the Jason Statham multiverse? Then you need to listen to Newbie Star Trek and hear the wisdom of Marvin, Dan, Sarah and Ricardo with occasional appearances from noted rapper Common!

Trek for the former jocks.
