The Enterprise is tooling along between shuttling an ambassador here, taking an obsessed astrophysicist there when — BANG, the show goes all Special Ops! That’s right, just when this Galaxy Class thing was stable and moving as the stayed and regular-ol weekly thing, it decided to turn the table over and shake all the pieces loose! Captain Picard gets un-captained by the new, and Coxian Jelico! That’s right, our captain’s special jacket gets removed only to be replaced by special-ops-ninja black! Seems our Cap is on a super-secret mission with his crack team of Lieutenant Worf...Ah, okay, I guess that makes sense, and… Beverly Crusher? Bev? Okay, okay… no Data, the super-strong robot? Huh. Not the empath who can read through shit like, I don’t know, traps? Huh! Double Huh! JLP’s team is training in the holodeck for a super secret mission while newly anointed Captain Jelico is Jelico-ing the shit out of the Enterprise and making the crew, and especially our second in command Riker question why he took this second seat in the first place? Just when the wondering gets deep enough, the Cap and his black-tighted team beam planet-side to infiltrate a cave they were fake-infiltrating in the Holodeck – except this cave is a trap and despite Worf’s ongoing struggle with doors, the Captain is alone and captured. Will Jellico-Cox become the next Captain of the Enterprise? Will Troi get comfortable with not exposing herself in revealing “V”necks? Will Jean Luc wind up questioning lights – oh wait, that’s not this episode – it’s next! Find out all of this and more in this exciting episode of “ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast.

The Enterprise D is paying a visit to Tyrus VII A! We assume Tyrus VII was booked for the weekend, so they were stuck with Tyrus VII A. Bummer. Anywho, what Tyrus VII A lacks in prestige it makes up for in kick ass particle fountains! The grit and grime and danger of mining got you down? Well, Dr. Farallon has the answer for you, shooting a particle cannon from space to do your mining for you! Sounds perfect except the particle fountain is a temperamental bit of tech that threatens to overload every ten minutes. That seems pretty dangerous in and of itself! But don’t worry, Dr. Farallon has a solution for that, too, in the guise of Exocomps! That’s right, Exocomps, little balls of robot who can be sent into perilous situations to fix problems before they blow up and kill everyone on board! Yay! Sounds good until the Exocomps decide they aren’t doing that shit any more. Seems they’ve gained a degree of sentience that comes with a healthy dose of self-preservation. Dr. Farallon says she’ll strip them of their smarts and send them in anyway until one Lt. Commander Data says no. Seems he feels a kinship with the little robotic rascals, and he intends to defend their right to choose, even if it means Picard and Geordi’s lives! Will Picard and LaForge be able to stop the particle fountain from exploding? Will Riker and the crew be able to rescue their stranded colleagues? Will Data come to his robotic senses and realize there’s no show without Sir Pat? Find out in this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast,

The cutest little computer programmer has whipped up a Western complete with saloons, hornery owlhoots, piano players, and prostitutes. Bonus! Deanna Troi joins them as Durango, a rifle-totin’, cheroot chompin’ stranger. It’s all fun and games until Geordi and Data’s little experiment causes the computer to go cattywampus! Suddenly, every owlhoot is Data, and he’s out to hornswoggle Sheriff Worf, and his trusty Deputy Alexander! Will Worf and his sidekicks be able to outfox his ultimate AI enemy?

It’s episode 6, Season 6, “RASCALS” and it’s kids, kids, kids! Up the space butt with the kids! And the show had just promised us it would tone down on the kids, didn’t it?

The Enterprise D is doing its thing, shuttling an ambassador to a… wait a minute, hold on, they’re charting globular clusters! Globular clusters! Wow! They are charting shit which is only slightly more active than shuttling shit, but that’s not the point. Riker can’t get to sleep! For some reason Numbah One keeps waking up feeling unrested! You might be asking yourself, why would this space adventure show be doing an episode where people can’t get a good night of sleep, but really, Riker and the rest of them are getting abducted! Seems Rike’s not the only one missing time and remembering weird shit, even Data! Worf’s got a thing about scissors, Then, crewman dead-face shows up with his blood replaced by sand… or something. Beverley tells Riker his arm has been severed and re-attached – OUCH! This leads the crew to hash it out in the holodeck, finally discovering that they’re being abducted and experimented on!

The Enterprise D is tooling along like it does when they jolt out of warp and find themselves face-to-face with a big ass Dyson Sphere! What’s a Dyson Sphere you ask? It’s a giant shell that encompasses a star, creating a whole new environment for people to inhabit. As crazy as that sounds, the crew finds something even crazier on the surface of the sphere--the wreck of an old Starfleet vessel, the Janolan, and it’s showing signs of life! Riker, Geordi, and Worf beam over to find someone stored in the old ship’s transporter. Well saints be praised, it’s Montgomery Scott! That’s right! Scotty! He was chief engineer of the original Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, or D! Time to break out the booze and the bagpipes! Or is it? Seems being 75 years out of time is making our favorite Scot feel unmoored and without purpose. That is until Picard asks Geordi to take Scotty to the Janolan to recover some ship’s logs on the Dyson Sphere. Good thing, too, because the Enterprise D suddenly finds themselves trapped inside the thing with no way out! Will Scotty and Geordi figure out a way to free the Enterprise? Will Scotty find a new life in the 24th century? Will someone please tell us what happened to Uhura? Find out in this exciting new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!
