All Good Things: A Star Trek Podcast: Episodes 53 & 54: TNG Season Three

The last two installments of All Good Things: A Star Trek podcast have celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s third season.

This is the season when Next Generation came into its own and helped the franchise soar to new heights.  It also has the greatest cliffhanger in television history capping off the season. (“Mr. Worf..fire!”)

To discuss this season it took Barry and I two episodes.  We discuss each episode and give you our top three episodes from the season.   We did put “Yesterday’s Enterprise” and “Best of Both Worlds, Part One” into the Hall of Fame and took them off the table because, quite frankly, we’d rank them one and two and then have to do lots of honorable mentions.

So tune in to Episode 53 and Episode 54
and find out why we love this season so much.

All Good Things Star Trek Podcast, Episode 48: Star Trek Kids

It’s been a while since I posted the latest installment of the All Good Things Star Trek Podcast.   Part of it is a hiatus we took due to real-world stuff interfering with recording.

This week, Barry and I look at kids on Star Trek.  This shouldn’t be confused with one of our earliest podcasts when we examined having kids on the Next Generation Enterprise.  This time out we look at some of kids and teens who graced our screens over the nearly fifty year run of Star Trek.   Of course, we’ll get into Wesley Crusher (with shout-outs to Wil Wheaton, in case he wants to either comment on the show or maybe be a celebrity interview on a future installment), Alexander, Jake Sisko, Nog, Naomi Wildman and the Borg kids.

So if you want to get back in touch with your inner child, give this week’s installment a listen.  You can listen and/or download it HERE or try listening directly below.

All Good Things Star Trek Podcast, Episode 46: The Wrath of Cons

On the latest installment of of All Good Things, Barry sits back and lets Michael rant about the recently completed comic book mini-series Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive.

We also have some news and commentary about the upcoming Trek holiday ornaments.

Then we jump into a conversation about conventions.  We share memories of going to cons, celebrities we’ve met and the dealer rooms we’ve browsed.

So why not pull up a comfortable chair and enjoy our latest episode?  You can download the episode HERE or listen via the player below.

All Good Things: A Star Trek Podcast, Episode 44: Medical Ethics

This week, Barry and I celebrate our podcast’s first birthday wishing we could have a nice slice of cellular pep-tide cake.  After we discuss this week’s news, we delve into our main topic — medical ethics in Star Trek.

Star Trek has predicated a lot of technological advances and while I still wish they’d come up with a hypospray for getting shots, there are some interesting questions raised by all five series about medicine.

You can listen to the installment below or download it HERE.

All Good Things: A Star Trek Podcast, Episode 43: Questions and Answers

If you listen to this week’s installment, this picture will make a LOT more sense.

On this week’s installment of the All Good Things podcast, Barry and I put each other on the spot. We each ask the other three questions — from the sublime to the absurd — and then try to provide a reasonable, intelligent discord on the subject at hand (even Barry’s last question, which I will leave for you to listen and find out just how wacky and fun it is).

We also discuss news of the week and avoid a long rant by me on the Star Trek/Planet of the Apes crossover (keep tuning in!  It’s coming).

You can tune in below (assuming the embed code works like it says it will) or you can listen and/or download it HERE.

All Good Things: A Star Trek Podcast: Episode 40 — Limited Run Series We’d Like To See

All Good Things: A Star Trek Podcast reaches middle age with episode forty!

Our conversation about the new Kickstarter campaign for a movie about Captain Pike inspired us to ponder what other types of limited run Star Trek series we might like to see.  Once we get past the absurd ones (aka a series in which Porthos reacts to his time on the Enterprise), we delve into some of the hidden corners of Star Trek that might be fun to explore.   Will we cover your favorite area or did we completely overlook it?   You’ll just have to listen and find out!

All Good Things, A Star Trek Podcast, Episode 39: The Archer Files

Jonathan Archer — water polo champion, explorer, captain of the first warp five Starfleet vessel.   In this installment, Barry and discuss the pros and cons of Jonathan Archer and his place within the Star Trek canon.  We even delve a bit into whether or not actor Scott Bakula was the right guy to play Archer.

Skype wasn’t our friend during this recording, so you can play the “where did Skype cut off their conversation mid-thought?” game if you’re so inclined.

All Good Things, A Star Trek Podcast, Episode 38: Rants and Reviews

All Good Things, Episode 37: The Logic, The Emotion and the Totally Awesome

If you listen to the latest episode of AGT, you’ll understand why I chose this image for this post.

It’s time for episode 37 of the All Good Things podcast!  This week, Barry and I discuss the trio at the center of classic Star Trek and (in my opinion) the whole Trek-verse.  Yes, we’re talking about Kirk, Spock and McCoy.

We delve into the logic, the emotion and the man of action (or as I called it the Totally Awesome) in great detail.    And yes, my love for Captain James T. Kirk is on full display in this episode…so you have been warned.

All Bad Things: A Star Trek Podcast Episode 35: Your Agonizer Please….

The latest installment of the All Good Bad Things: A Star Trek podcast is a bit strange.  It’s almost like this episode was trying to beam up during an ion storm and got switched with this week’s actual recording.

We’d tell you more about what happened, but then Mr. Spock might demand our agonizers.

Enjoy this week’s installment (and recall that we recorded this one of the first day of the month….hint, hint)
