Newbie Star Trek (Fugitive Frames)

If Wishes Were Horses! What if Rumplestiltskin came to life? What if an old-timey yet still from the future baseball player came to life? What if sexy Jadzia Dax came to life? What if a big space butthole came to life? What if the TNG episode Where No One Has Gone Before came to life but without that pervy Traveler? Well, if these were your wishes, they are horses now. 

We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new episodes, access to the private Newbie Star Trek Discord, and a bunch of other perks!

Birthright, Part I! What started as an episode about Worf trying to find his father turned into a sort-of DS9 crossover where Julian Bashir tries to help Data figure out how to dream. Yeah, kind of a weird mash-up. Uh, fathers, I guess!

TNG Season 1 Tier List! Dan and Marvin try something a little different... It's been a hot minute since any of us have revisited TNG season 1, a season considered so bad by most Trek fans that they often recommend that new viewers should skip the entire season. Does that opinion hold any water? Let's rank the episodes and find out!

Safe House! During the dark period after TNG ended but before the X-Men movies, Patrick Stewart was adrift doing random middling projects. One of these was Safe House. Marvin remembered this movie being a lot funnier than it actually was. But hey, at least we got to see Sir Pat Stew's dong.

The Chase! Ever wonder why all the aliens in Star Trek are just humans with stuff on their face? Well, so did the TNG writers, and here's their answer! Will it lead to a profound ending where we all learn to come together and be friends? No. Will we unintentionally avoid all references to Red Letter Media jokes about the kurlan naiskos? Surprisingly, yes!

Rightful Heir! Worf starts to have a crisis of faith about his religion that he's never really cared about before. What are the odds that he'll find the Klingon Jesus, like, right away? This one lead to a bunch of deep dives into religious talk and whatnot, which is par for an episode where Worf meets Klingon Jesus.

Suspicions! For some reason, Beverly puts together a small conference about starship shield engineering? Uh, and then the experiment goes awry and gets someone killed? And then the original inventor of the new shield dies? Man, what a mess, surely she won't do anything that'll make her look crazier and get her in more trouble.

Transfigurations! Is this episode a Jesus metaphor? Or is it an X-Men metaphor? Or, as Dan forgot to mention on the podcast and thus we're mentioning it here, a Digimon metaphor? We dunno, but at the very least it's a camel toe exhibition. Also, Geordi's arc is that he becomes a lady's man and then pretty much just stays that way. Wow! All's well that ends well!

TECHNICAL NOTE: This commentary track only syncs up with the Blu-ray and Paramount+ versions of TNG. The Netflix version shortens the amount of black screen between commercial breaks, which leads to a pretty significant de-sync.

Season 2 Sneak Peek! No discussion this episode (sorry!), but we wanted to take the time to highlight our amazing new theme song and our new "what happened during this airdate?" song that our really awesome friend Nate Tang made for us! These songs are usually kinda cut off when we mix the episode, so we thought this would be a good way to show them off in their entirety. Enjoy!

But in all seriousness, an actually really great script and great performance by Gates McFadden that's completely ruined by the reintroduction of the Traveler and Star Wars-style mystical BS!

Schisms! Does it make sense to have an alien abduction story when you're already in space and hanging out with aliens 24/7? Does it make sense to have an episode where there's not much else to it other than the thinly veiled mystery? Does it make sense for an android to compose and recite dank-ass poetry about his cat? The answer to one of these questions is an emphatic yes. The others? Uh...

Peak Performance! Wiggle your fingers, everyone, as we dive into a wonderfully procedural wargame episode that probably would've served much better as a finale than the actual season 2 finale did! Will Riker and his crew win against Picard by being huge cheaters? Will Data bust up the suspicious doctor from Total Recall in a game of weird finger chess? And will the Ferengi be horrible stereotypes yet again? The answer to all of these questions is yes, but listen along anyway and see what Ricardo thinks!

Will Star Trek be able to handle this delicate topic tastefully and meaningfully? The answer to that question is no. Did George Lucas steal this title for yet another prequel concept? The answer to that question is maybe?

Family! Wow, a ton of stuff happened in Best of Both Worlds, eh? Some mind control, some countless loss of life, tons of explosions, and I'm sure Picard came through all of it totally okay without any trauma at all. So this episode is just a long pleasant trip back home where he sips some wine and gets into sexy mud wrestling fights with his grumpy brother. Also, Worf is still butt-hurt over his honor, and I guess also we find out what Wesley's dad looks like. Also, it turns out Wesley Crusher comes from a long line of criminal Crushers, so that all fits.

Instead, he's a metaphor for old age and Alzheimer's! Oh no! Also, Jasmin wanted to point out that Sarek's failing mental state happened to parallel the mental decline of Gene Roddenberry around the time of airing, but she didn't get a chance to mention that in the actual discussion, so she's including it here now, yay!

Brothers! Data goes nuts and decides to hijack the Enterprise! Why? Maybe it's so he can find his brother? Surely the episode title didn't give it away! Also, watch as Brent Spiner does the Austin Powers/Klumps shtick before Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy ever did! Dan also informs me that he wanted to compare Lore meeting Noonien Soong to when Will Smith met his father again in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he forgot to mention it during the podcast recording, so here we are in the podcast description instead. Also, we have a special retrospective to celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, but that's not really related to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at all.

The Survivors! Picard tries to figure out why everyone on this planet is dead except for two random boomers. In the meantime, Riker gets snared on a trap and smacks his head on a pole, and Deanna has non-stop music box tinnitus. Will they ever solve this mystery? Only if we go up and atom. You know the rules, and so do I. And if all else fails, there's always the Holodeck. F***.
