The Passenger

We get into it pretty quickly. There are a lot of questions. Well, one question, "Who is Vantika?"

It's answered in the teaser, but we also get to see Odo act out and talk a bit about Sisko doing admin. So there's a lot happening here.

Also, Lt Primmin is not a Southerner! This is a point of contention!

Descent, Pt I

I'm back with Grym and we're going over the Season 6 cliffhanger, "Descent, Pt I." I guess that's not really a spoiler if the name is "Part I." And if the last three season finales were also cliffhangers. What are we going to do; go back to clip shows to close out the season?

Anyway, we see Star Trek doing something really interesting with the Borg; allowing them to change and grow, becoming a new threat and a vehicle to explore human questions. Well, we haven't gotten to all that yet. We're just intrigued by the new thing we're doing with the Borg.

THIS shovel? It's, uh, certainly not here to put this interesting thing we're doing with the Borg into a shallow grave in a few years as this franchise commits to shortpacking everything to more easily sell it as individually-priced slivers of nostalgia. That's not even a Picard burn; it's a First Contact burn.

The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes are usually posted on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM CST.

Dax

Jadzia Dax is on trial for the, alleged, crimes committed by Kurzon Dax and we spend a plurality of our time discussing Trill probate law and an app called Spotz that lets you hire Trill to point at other Trill. So it's a good one. What can we say?

We can say that your parents are probably still having sex and once the sentient slug inside of you is put into a new, younger host body, that slug will have parents-having-sex knowledge for each life you've lived...except you're the parents!

Moore's Law was from 1965, not the 70's so I will continue to make jokes at Trek's expense over their stupid, stupid data storage solutions.

Because of the unplanned break, I'll be doubling up and putting new episodes up until we're squaresies, which should be around "The Nagus."

Timescape

Anna's back and we're talking about solid character episode with minimal ghosts "Timescape."

It's got runabouts! And time travel!

There's not too much to say about this one. We don't have a deep concept or a tightly-constructed mystery. Timey-wimey stuff happens, but we have fun anyway.

I mean that time; it sure is subjective, right?

I've been out a few weeks due to internet problems, so I'll be posting a bit to make up for it. But that's just the end of season six before we go into a bit of a holding pattern until Deep Space Nine series, Nine Deeps of Space catches up. I'll be posting some Enterprise One stuff, but I've got a poll up on twitter as to which Enterprise One stuff you want to hear in the interim. https://twitter.com/VanVelding/status/1383947120684589060

Q-Less

There's so many things wrong with this episode--actually, just the one thing wrong. The all-powerful being harassing his powerless ex without a moral core, lesson learned, or any point to it really except for how we're supposed to find the cruelty funny. 

Also, there's a sci-fi "thing" that's so token I feel you could lose it at Quark's dabo table.

The Skeleton War was 2014, not 2012. I apologize to all veterans of the Skeleton War and thank you for your service.
