Gimme That Star Trek Ep.37: Star Trek Picard Reaction

January 28, 2020

Star Trek: Picard just started, and I just had to talk about it with fellow Trekkies, to wit, Maggie and Jonathan Schaefer-Hames from Married with Comics, because they are also married with Star Trek. Our small but enthusiastic panel discusses the first episode, “Remembrance”, the world of TNG 20 years on, and Patrick Stewart’s graceful return to the franchise.

Gimme That Star Trek Ep.36: Fixing Voyager

December 03, 2019

What did Star Trek: Voyager do wrong that armchair critics like Siskoid and Married with Comics’ Jonathan Schaefer-Hames don’t like it as much as the rest of Trek? And can these two podcasters “fix” the show by talking through their ass for 90 minutes? By the Great Bird of the Galaxy, they can at least try!
