  • Bad, Weird or Both: MOVE ALONG HOME (Star Trek Deep Space Nine 1x10)
    Dec 31 2023

    Shaps, Chulas and extended cliff sequences await Pete and Sam in Talkin' Bout Trek's last episode of 2023, as Deep Space Nine finally gets a say on our scale of Bad, Weird or Both episodes with the absolute classic, Move Along Home. Dungeons and Dragons and the mindset of a Star Trek producer also get covered, as our hosts try to distract themselves with other things more interesting than the plot. It's just that kind of ep. (P.S. OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION IS BETTER SOUND QUALITY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS WE NAVIGATE OUR TERRIBLE LACK OF EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA)

  • Bad, Weird or Both: THRESHOLD (Star Trek Voyager 2x15)
    Dec 12 2023

    Have you ever broken the threshold of eating more than the socially acceptable amount of eggs at once? Have you ever had children with a lizard? Have you ever slept with your captain? All this and more as we ramp things up to Warp 10 and analyse 'Threshold' - the golden goose of bad Star Trek Voyager episodes. Kiss me Kes.

  • Bad, Weird or Both: SUB ROSA (Star Trek The Next Generation 7x14)
    Nov 29 2023

    There's fog on the bridge, love in the air and a storm inside the artificial weather system this week as we rewatch Sub Rosa - a rare character episode for Beverley Crusher, before she became a 24th Century Robin Hood (thanks Picard Season 3). As we discuss whether this episode is bad, weird or both, there's one key question: how sexy are ghosts?

  • Bad, Weird or Both: SPIRIT FOLK (Star Trek Voyager 6x17)
    Nov 22 2023

    This week Pete and Sam head to Sullivan's Pub for a cosy pint, a game of rings and a tall tale or two as they watch Tom, Harry and the rest of that crazy Voyager gang take time out in the tranquil Irish town of Fair Haven. Maggie's having a bad day, Seamus can't believe his eyes and, frankly, we can't believe Janeway's decision making.

  • Bad, Weird or Both: IN THEORY (Star Trek The Next Generation 4x26)
    Nov 15 2023

    Do androids dream of electric sheep, or do they actually dream of being romantically involved with an unhinged lieutenant? Pete and Sam rewatch this random, accessible and memorable Next Generation episode with a new lens: is it bad, weird or both? Join us for some question judgement, O'Brien's socks and the most exciting B-Plot you ever will see.

  • WE'RE BACK! Bad, Weird or Both - FAVORITE SON (Star Trek Voyager 3x20)
    Nov 8 2023

    Pete and Sam have solemnly placed their comm badges down on their desks, phaser-stunned their way to Shuttle Bay 2 and stolen a runabout in a daring gambit to escape everyday life. The result? A brand new season of Talkin' Bout Trek. This time we're delving in to the murky nebula of Star Trek's 'less-loved' episodes to ask one vital question: Bad, weird or both? Engage.

  • PICARD FINALE S3 Episode 10 THE LAST GENERATION
    Apr 28 2023
    This week Sam and Pete beam into the actual same room to reflect on this wild 10-week ride, try their best not to make comparisons to Star Wars, size up this farewell to all the characters and marvel at the turnaround the show has made from the first two seasons.

  • PICARD S3 Episode 9 VOX
    Apr 18 2023

    Whilst accepting that they are two happy idiots who lap up fan service at the expense of sound criticism, Sam and Pete do attempt to ponder the occasional plot hole and ill-advised action plan that can be found in Picard's penultimate episode this week, before settling back down into an Enterprise-D-Shaped hole and begging Paramount for more.
