Bold move watching a whole season hours before recording—so let’s not pretend this episode isn’t powered by caffeine, chaos, and Neil desperately trying to keep things on the rails.Welcome to our Star Trek: Starfleet Academy spoiler special, where the syllabus includes: deep lore dives, unhinged takes, and Jose and Marie trying to remember character names like they’re cramming for an exam they absolutely didn’t revise for.Neil is, of course, in his element—our resident lore master, ready to break down everything from Federation politics to the tiniest canon detail like he personally helped write Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.Jose has technically finished the show… but emotionally? Spiritually? Debatable. Expect vibes, chaos, and at least one take that makes Neil briefly reconsider doing this podcast.And Marie—let’s be honest—only showed up because Neil promised heated Klingonry. Was it worth it? Did she get what she came for? Or has she just accidentally made another sci-fi obsession her entire personality? History suggests we already know the answer.We’re talking best moments, worst decisions, standout characters, questionable plot choices, and whether this is a worthy addition to the Star Trek universe—or one that should’ve stayed in the holodeck.⚠️ FULL SPOILERS throughout ⚠️Drop your thoughts in the comments—did you love it, hate it, or are you still trying to figure out what Neil was on about?Subscribe for more reviews, rants, and absolute nonsense from We Needed Roads

Tonight… we ride...Not in a DeLorean, not through time, but straight into muddy fields, dodgy taverns, and the most polite violence HBO has ever put on television — because we’re talking Season One of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.Yes, the smaller, scrappier, surprisingly heartfelt cousin to Game of Thrones — where the politics are quieter, the swords are still sharp, and the vibes are basically a tall guy and bald kid seek adventure And joining me on this noble quest are the finest knights in the realm…Sir Neil the Lore-Burdened, Keeper of Forgotten Truths, of the House EncyclopaediaA knight who has seen every tale, read every scroll, and yet cannot remember where he put his bloody sword.Knows more about cinema than the Citadel, sighs deeply at inaccuracies, and will casually drop knowledge so ancient even the maesters blink. Has “forgotten more films than most men have watched” etched on his shield.Sir David of the Night Cradle, Oathbound Father and Warden of the DreadA sworn knight of horror and sleepless nights.Battles demons on screen and nappies at dawn. Speaks softly of terror, screams loudly at jump scares, and refuses to follow Lady Marie into her latest obsession—declaring it “too much, even for the gods.”See Marie the Bannered Obsessive, She-Who-Chooses and Will Not Let GoOnce she pledges her heart to a tale, she will ride for it until the realm bends the knee.Bearer of the Rainbow Standard, wielder of Passion Unto Excess. When she loves a show, it becomes law. When she hates one, it is declared heresy. Entire seasons have been watched purely out of spite.Sir Luke the Red-Bearded Reader, of the Quiet WatchA thoughtful knight who carries books where others carry blades.Speaks less, but when he does, the realm listens. Chooses stories that break hearts and mend them again. Likely to recommend a tale so devastating it becomes legend—and then apologise for it.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to people passionately argue about films and TV… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverFollow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialJose🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.comMariehttps://x.com/Life_onMarszhttps://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/And her podcast https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#aknightofthesevenkingdoms #dunk&egg #gameofthrones #westeros
