Season four finally starts proper after last week's bizarre opener. First up, the crew goes "Home" and does a take on TNG's "Family" if it was a slog and had really bad lessons woven into it. After that: it's part one of what will be multiple three-parters in the final season of "Enterprise" as Brent Spiner guest stars as one of his own ancestors to take us to the "Borderland"!
Also this week: fun with umlauts, big square heads, and Tuvok!

Episode 356: The Old Ways

"Enterprise" has left infurating war crimes behind and has gone back to the familiar comfort of dull and copying older "Trek". In parts two and three of a story that did NOT need to be a three-parter, the Augments go on a rampage and Soong realizes maybe he did, in fact, do a bad thing by unleashing them on the galaxy. Join us, won't you, for "Cold Station 12" and "The Augments".
Also this week: too many nods, a pointless brother, and B'Elanna!

[note: minor spoilers for "Picard" S.2, but honestly that's probably the worst of the seasons of that show so who cares?]

Episode 357: Is a Bad Plan Better Than No Plan?

Step right up to the bout of the 22nd century as the final showdown between the forces of EVIL face the forces of...ah...Archer and Co in "Kir'Shara"! But don't leave just yet, as in our next round it's man vs their own past hubris in "Daedalus"!
Also this week: the 90s S, Chris tries to pull a Jake, and Harry Kim!

Episode 359: T'Pow vs The Space Ghost

Everyone's up to something this week, tho motivation is maybe a bit vague. First up: voyeuristic aliens are being really creepy and possessing the crew just so they can watch people die in "Observer Effect". After that, someone has come up with a needlessly elaborate ship to try and start a war between the Andorians and Tellarites in "Babel One".
Also this week: special special humans, emotional violence, and The EMH!

Well now the Romulans have gone and done it! In their convoluted attempt to destabilize the region they've just gone and helped lay the groundwork for the eventual United Federation of Planets! Maybe there was a better use for their super psychic powered self-repairing ships than this? Also Trip and T'Pol's relationship takes a decidedly teen drama turn in the 11th hour because why not? Join us for "United" and "The Aenar"!
Also this week: ancient traditions*, iced coffee in space, and Neelix!

Episode 361: The Big Special Best Friend Ship Fleet

It's the moment one of your hosts has been waiting for and the others have been dreading! It's time for the "Enterprise" take on the Mirror Universe in the campy two-parter "In a Mirror, Darkly". Watch as we and a guest struggle to tell the difference between Prime and Mirror Archer and wonder if other people weren't allowed to be evil ENOUGH.
Also this week: prop comps, Shatner, and Seven of Nine!

Episode 363: Ninety Percent Dumb

We're in the home stretch and "Enterprise" sure is cranking up the stupid to 11! What's the dumbest twist you could have? The two-parter "Demons" and "Terra Prime" has a good chance of using it. RoboCop himself has dropped into "Trek" to unleash a scheme that really only makes sense if you're already a deranged xenophobe who got his hands on some loose DNA. The Romulans would look askance at this weirdo. Anyway, he's trying to stop "Star Trek" from happening which, honestly, if all you knew was "Enterprise" you might, too.
Also this week: RoboCop got a type; you've never guess the mole!; and Reg Barclay!

Episode 364: Expecting the Dumbest Outcome

Our collective dislike of "Enterprise" is hardly a secret, but even your hosts (and our guest) agree this show deserved a better sendoff than "These Are the Voyages...", or at least a sendoff that was about itself. Rather than simply wrapping things up with the preceding two-parter, the talentless hacks in charge decided to sideline the cast of this show in favor of tacking a horrible B-plot onto a good TNG episode that is made worse by its presence. An astoundingly dimwitted end to a poorly-executed program.
Also this week: hating crowds, seeking pranks, and ending "Enterprise".

Episode 365: Unbelievably Dumb

"Enterprise" might be over, but she has one last outing...sort of. If its finale was HORRIBLE fanfiction, how about you step right up for some, if we do say so ourselves, much better fanfiction! Yes, your stalwarts are at it again, putting their own unique spins on the "Star Trek" universe with the crew of the NX-01. This time: contests, crossovers, tantalizing tubers, and gettin' PRANKED!

Dance under those Lights - Finn Kenny

The ultimate debate is settled in the booth. "THE GOAT" is a hard-hitting trap anthem that throws boxing legends into a lyrical royal rumble. Who takes the crown? Muhammad Ali with the float and sting? Floyd "Money" Mayweather with the flawless 50-0 defense? Or "Iron" Mike Tyson with the devastating one-punch knockout power?

This track is for every fan who's ever argued over who is the greatest of all time. With a high-energy 144 BPM, cinematic horns, and a knockout 808 bassline, this is more than a song – it's a fight night stadium chant.

Lyrics:

[Intro]
(Yo! Ding ding. Let’s get it.)
GOAT debate, no ties, put legends on the ropes—
Who’s really the king of gloves, crown forged in smoke?

[Verse 1]
Top ten in the gym, shadowboxin’ in my mind—
Ali moonwalkin’, Tyson bitin’ through time.
Mayweather rich flex, slick dodge, tight lane,
Frazier came smokin’, Sugar Ray dropped rain.
Duran hands of stone, Manny switchin’ eight weights,
Roy Jones Matrix—man was dodgin’ fate.
Joe Louis bomb squad, combos divine,
Hopkins aged fine, schoolin’ youngins on the line.
Now round one, it’s Ali vs Tyson and Joe—
Tyson got the terror, but Ali stole the show.
Louis had artillery, silent but proud—
But Ali made ‘em float and sting in the crowd.

[🔥 CHORUS ]
🥊 WHO’S THE GOAT? WHO’S THE GOAT? (ALI DANCE. FLOYD DON’T CHOKE. MIKE GO SMOKE.)
🥊 WHO’S THE GOAT? WHO’S THE GOAT? (RINGSIDE JUMPIN’, FANS ON GHOST.)
🥊 WHO’S THE GOAT? WHO’S THE GOAT? (NO DEBATE, IT’S HEAVY BLOWS.)
🥊 WHO’S THE GOAT? WHO’S THE GOAT? (3 KINGS STAND, THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE!)
