Hey there! We’re taking December off for the holidays, but there will be more Deep Space Noob in January!

Hey everyone! Sarge couldn’t be with us this week, she’s a little under the weather. My co-host for this episode is Elizabeth Williams Bushey, The artist for my web comic Artificial Flowers who you can find on Twitter as @inklesstales. We break down Federation bigotry, and how Ferengi society doesn’t seem functional. I’m so sad Sarge is missing our first deep dive into Ferengi society, but I promise, it’s still a fun episode! NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Here it is! The legendarily bad episode, “Move Along Home”. In this episode, we premiere the OCAP award for Outstanding Commitment to an Absurd Premise. Hopefully, Sarge didn’t lose as much respect for me as I thought she would. NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

The Passenger! It’s... yeah... forgettable. We didn’t have a whole lot to say about this episode, but MAN were we annoyed at all the technobabble. Come hear Sarge and Eddie’s reaction to really mediocre Trek!   NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Happy Halloween! We’re taking a break from DS9 this week and watching Trek’s only official Halloween episode, the original series episode, “Catspaw”! It’s wonderful nonsense, watch it with us! NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

Legal episode! Dax is on trial, but not really on trial; it’s just a hearing, but basically, yeah, totally on trial! Sarge and I question if the Bajorans are the real space Jews, and get DEEP into a philosophical debate with no real world application. NO RECOMMENDED VIEWING

A truly terrible episode! Eddie tries to explain Trekonomics, and Sarge almost pukes over oomax.
