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!

Siskoid can’t really grow a beard. Radio vs. the Martians’ Casey Doran most definitely can, and has. Perhaps that’s why he’s eminently qualified to discuss beards in the Star Trek universe. Who has them? What do they mean? Did Riker only become cool after the beard? What about Ben Sisko? We split hairs in this one, folks!

Siskoid goes it alone on this one to defend Deep Space Nine’s portrayal of the Bajoran Prophets, showing how non-linear beings can sometimes seem to act linearly, and discussing their greatest hits under one unified theory. Put your thinking caps on, this one gets both timey AND wimey.
