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

Well look at that, July 4th has fallen on our release day this year and it's always fun to take a break from "Enterprise"! So we're finally taking a look at 1996's action-disaster-blockbuster "Independence Day" (aka ID4)! Get those nostalgia goggles off and see if it still holds up when aliens blow up practical effect monuments and only sexy sexy Jeff Goldblum and still-mostly-the-Fresh Prince Will Smith can save us with the power of Apple computers!
Also this week: but really, this cast though. As well as some almost-disastrous alternate casting. And some even more disastrous alternate titles!
Welcome to Earth!

SSHB Ten Forwards

Ten Forward 38: Independence Day

"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?

New episodes every Thursday!

Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. 

Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary.
