Treknologic: A Star Trek Podcast

TNL Random Picks for 2018

podcast@treknologic.com (Treknologic Crew) — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 01:55:34 +0000

2018 Treknologic Episode Review Picks

TNL is no longer making their picks secret! Also, we’re no longer picking episodes. Why? We feared we might be getting too many great episodes and too many bad episodes. If we kept going like that for another six years, that would leave all the middle episodes.

Thus, we created an utterly boring episode where we rolled three d10’s to determine which shows we’ll be reviewing for 2018.

Upcoming

We have two bonus episodes in the can. One’s edited, and will probably drop in late July after my vacation.

Do you have feedback? Send us videos, voice mails, audio files, and emails at feedback@treknologic.com. If you like our podcast, please consider giving us a nice 5 star review on iTunes. That will help us grow and keep us going, and prevent someone from going to the agony booth!

Next Episode: On the next TNL bonus episode, we will review an episode of the Outer Limits.

Episode Info

The borg go back in time to re-write history and destroy the United Federation of Planets. It’s up to Captain Picard and his crew to save the future!

Episode Pictures (click for a smorgasBorg of hi-res pics):

Inside the Borg ship inside of Picard’s mind.

I think I had nightmares about Picard’s Borg implant nightmares!

The UFP is desperately battling the Borg as they make their way towards Earth.

Picard takes command of the Federation fleet.

During the time travel, you can see what a Borg Earth looks like.

The Enterprise takes out the Borg sphere with two quantum torpedoes, leaving a clearly massive debris field that will eventually fall on Arctic Circle, leading to Star Trek Enterprise: “Regeneration.”

If you look carefully on the Phoenix, you’ll see what I’m calling a “hidden delta.” You can see the top of the Starfleet insignia along the Phoenix. In this shot you can see two of them, one with a white circle in the middle.

Cochrane and Troi are having a drinking contest. Well, she’s doing it to get him to talk. But Riker’s look is great!

Troi’s falling asleep on the table and Cochrane is dancing!

Here’s the extremely dangerous – flesh-meltingly dangerous – coolant used in Engineering.

In the background you can see the Borg beating on the door, and the Doctor looks annoyed. We’re so happy he appeared in this movie, and logically to boot!

Data uses his android strength and snaps a Borg’s neck.

The revolting assimilation of Enterprise personnel.

Assimilation is really gross in the movie!

Cochrane makes fun of Riker’s crazy story of time traveling and cybernetic robots.

Meade telescopes still exist!

Borgified Eye

Picard shows Lily the Earth from orbit. She is suitably impressed.

An assimilated Klingon. It’s great when they show small details like this.

The Borg Queen is assembled.

The Big Goodbye holonovel makes an appearance, and it’s great!

A Borg interrogates Ethan Philips, who’s playing the maître’d in The Big Goodbye holonovel.

Picard goes nuts!

Picard digs through a Borgged crewman as Lily watches in horror.

Another great fan shout out from the filmmakers as Barkley gets to fanboy over Cochrane.

Geordi’s new eyes. in 1080p, you can see really see the contact. I like the star in the middle of his eye.

Geordi has telescopic thermal vision!

You told him about the statue? – Geordi realizes he out fanboyed Barkley.

Hawk, Picard, and Worf are walking on the underside of the Enterprise’s saucer section. A great shot!

There is no up in space.

Worf severs a Borg’s arm!

Worf kills a Borg, complete with floating blood. It’s a blood bath out there!

Worf unfortunately tears his space suit. Don’t we have a fix for this sort of thing in the 21st century?

One of the locks to the deflector dish.

Men on strings. The worst special effects in the movie. It almost looked like Tarzan in space.

Hawk assimilated

Worf shoots the remaining Borg on the deflector dish.

Data gets new skin. Gross!

The Kiss!

Picard and his broken ships.

The self-destruct sequence is activated. Picard looks at his new bridge fondly.

About to blast off, Cochrane is in a panic until he finds his disk with music.

The Launch of the Phoenix looks great!

The Enterprise escape pods look great, and they are very logical too!

Zephram Cochrane experiences the “overview effect” of seeing the Earth from space. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. I’m glad they put this in the film.

The Borg Queen considers Picard’s offer.

Data with a human skin on his face.

Data’s human skin and eye.

A great shot of the Phoenix and the Enterprise behind her.

From inside the Phoenix, the Enterprise eclipses the Sun.

Space Warp Engaged!

Data busts open the coolant pipe.

Cochrane goes to Warp for the first time in the Phoenix.

The Borg Queen attempts to pull Picard down to his death.

Frankenstein Data emerges from the coolant to pull the Borg Queen off of Picard.

The Borg Queen disgustingly disintegrates.

Alas, poor Borg Queen! I knew her, Data, a Queen of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. She hath borne me on her back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!

The Vulcans have landed on Earth.

Chochrane, meet unnamed Vulcan.

Episode Info

Love suffocates the people in DS9. Watch as Worf, Quark, Grilka, Dax, O’Brien, Kira, and Keiko cross their lucky stars and love stories are told.

This episode, which we initially expected to be a quick one, turned out really long! We discuss the obliviousness of Keiko and Worf, relationship awkwardness, cultural clashes, the Curzon/Jadzia overlap, the Klingon caste system vs the American class system, Klingon love, the best Bashir moment in the series, why Worf’s best attempts at courtship are like a teenager’s attempts, why the Klingons are like Deatheaters, and why didn’t this episode have a conclusion to the main plot.

In the trivia section, we find out that a group of Klingons is called a massacre, and in the bloopers/extras section we have a discussion of Quatloos and Patreon.

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

Dax is really getting into the Klingon love story!

Chekov is shot and dies! Notice how the Feds and NBC have cracked down and there is no blood and not even a squib under Chekov’s shirt.

Episode Info

The USS Enterprise must contact the civilization on Melkot at all costs! That means that it could mean the death of everyone on board the ship! Kirk ignores the warning bouy and beams down anyway, and the Melkotians have an interesting way of executing the away team.

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

Our interpretation of the Melkotian. Oscar the Grouch from Space. He certainly was grouchy!

The Enterprise decides to ignore the Melkotian’s telepathic warning bouy and drive on to the Melkotian’s home planet. Sure, the Melkotions won’t think of that as a threat!

The incomplete saloon in Tombstone, Arizona.

I think Kirk is jealous of Chekov! This is a good scene, since the kiss goes on for 20 seconds and the officers are just looking at themselves uncomfortably.

Tombstone city limits are off limits!

Reefer Madness

Scotty’s only mind meld in TOS. Doohan said he enjoyed this scene.

Someone at Star Trek was thinking imaginatively when they thought of this way to demonstrate the illusory bullets during the gunfight.

The Melkotian saying, “We tried to creatively execute you. Since you ‘did a Kirk’ and cheated your way out of execution, come on down and join us in a delicious meal of fried chicken.”

Next Episode: We get to solve a mystery on the Enterprise-D as we follow TNG “Clues.”

Starfleet’s arctic base. Jeez, with that giant piece of metal jutting out, it’s surprising that it took Starfleet 100 years to find it.

Borg nanotech is rebuilding organic cells.

Starfleet Academy or HQ? I’m not sure.

The crew of the Enterprise use their Microsoft Surface Table (TM).
Actually, is this technology following Star Trek again?

The borg vessel was attempting to assimilate the transport, but the Enterprise attacks!

Zephram Cochrane’s speech.

The clever borg now have an advantage over the episode.

John Billingsley’s wife, Bonita Friedericy, was one of the scientists who were borged and subsequently killed. Awsome! As long as they are good actors, we love this sort of thing!

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

The Ba’ku village through the duck blind. What a great set!

One of his pursuers with his cloaking suit ripped open. Data threw him down on the ground so hard his suit ripped! Conveniently, his gun is readily available.

Apparently karaoke hasn’t advanced much over the past few centuries.

I kiss you, and you say “yuck”?

A cute scene.

The inside of the giant holoship.

Attack on the Ba’ku village!

Beverly Crusher absolutely knows how to use a weapon. Awesome!

Worf’s phaser rifle jams, but with Worf, it’s still a weapon.

Riker’s joystick moment. Somehow, this is supposed to appeal to children.

Picard gains mutant powers.

First we must eliminate the excess derma… So! Then the flaccid tissues under the eyes… And now the forehead… Zip! I lift the wrinkles and worry lines right up into the wi– Into the hairline…

Check out Patrick Stewart’s arm. He was buff!

Gallatin: He wouldn’t.
Worf: Yes, he would.

Data playing. Aww, isn’t that so cute! It was put in the movie for the kids, just like Jar Jar Binks.

The Enterprise librarian shh-ing Troi and Riker. Yes, there was a reason this scene was cut.

Special call-in appearance by Jane, our ship’s lawyer for some professional analysis of Starfleet courtroom procedure.

Episode Info

Starfleet accuses Kirk of negligence in command, as even the computer shows that he killed someone by making a mistake (even though it was bound to happen eventually, ergonomically speaking).

For a good view of the original compared the remastered versions, check out this article at TrekMovie.com.

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

Here, we clearly see where the pod was ejected from.

The HD remaster SFX group was absolutely on top form in this episode. On the Starbase, you can seep offices and people in the windows. It was a nice touch of them to keep the original painting and simply add to it.

Commodore Stone’s starship status chart. This shows how important set design can be. To the viewer, these small touches can really make a world seem “lived in” and more real, even if the original show didn’t have the resources to show another starship in orbit.

Kirk reading papers and signing them with a surprisingly long pen.

The infamous “space baby” or “baby sailor moon” dress.

Another superb shot added into the HD remaster. If you look carefully, not only are there people in the windows, but there are two people in space suits moving a temporary cover to the hole left by the pod ejection.

Look carefully on the left on the bar, and you’ll see the sign for the “Starbase Club.” Also, behind Kirk, you can see someone stubbing out their cigarette. Overall, the Club set was really well done.

The infamous Star Trek food cubes.

The dress of no return. Keri described it as “tragically retro.”

Notice the forest on top of Lt. Shaw’s drink.

We liked this costume with the exception of the pocket protector on Samuel T. Cogley’s tummy.

A diverse set of Captain Kirk’s peers indeed! Well done 1st season TOS!

Let’s place the Jettison Pod button so Kirk could easily just LEAN on his chair and eject it!

Spock winning chess against the computer. An impossibility!

Kai Winn uses the Kosst Amojan to ignite the Fire Cave.

Kai Winn and Dukat are turned on by the light of a fireplace… er, Fire Cave.

The Dominion Defense is strong indeed.

Damar is shot by the Jem’Hadar, and dies shortly thereafter.

Kai Winn feels that Dukat is an appropriate sacrifice to gain power from the Pah Wraiths.

Cardassia has been liberated, but at a terrible price.

The leaders of the war have finally made it to Cardassian soil. But the humans don’t feel entirely victorious.

The Dominion signs the peace treaty.

Vic sings “The Way You Look Tonight” to a room full of people without prosthetic make-up.

Kai Winn is shocked to be shoved aside as Dukat is the true Pah Wraith Emissary. She turns on him, telling Sisko that the Kosst Amojan is the key. She pays the ultimate price.

Sisko tackles Dukat, and they both fall into the fire. The Kosst Amojan – the key to Pah Wraith prison – burns, Dukat disappears, and Sisko also disappears.

As a half-Prophet, Sisko is brought to live in the wormhole. Sisko briefly gives Sarah a vision, where he says he won’t be coming back any time soon.

Odo puts on his best suit for Kira.

The rebel leaders transport to a high ledge, even through they were expecting a good reception. What? That doesn’t make sense!

Word around Ferenginar is that Quark will be the next Nagus. Thus, Brunt is literally kissing up to Quark.

The Cardassians have a great PA system. Here, Weyoun is telling them how Damar has been killed.

Freedom fighters strike a military outpost, and Cardassians are blasted into the air.

Upon seeing this, Worf decides to send the lift back down.

Outraged that Rom’s the new Nagus and not him, Quark makes a speech to the assembled Ferengi on how his bar will remain a bastion of conservative Feringinar values.

The Generals get together in a standing meeting to plan the next huge offensive. Strangely, this is the last time we see Velal, the Romulan.

A cool graphic showing the phaser drilling locations and the volcanic eruption locations.

The Enterprise fires weird deflector beams and a phaser beam to initiate the atmospheric reaction.

Rasmussen was planning on leaving, but he finds an unexpected party of officers at his timeship.

This is a simple, but cool special effect. Rasmussen puts his hand there, then underneath, the control panel temporarily becomes visible.

Spock saves Kirk’s life by shoving Kirk out of the way of a flower shooting spores. Fortunately, he has green blood, and it doesn’t affect him as badly.

Redshirt Kaplan gets fried by lightning. Redshirt #2 is dead.

A quaint Polynesian village.

Actor Jay D. Jones takes the full impact of this explosion, due to mistiming of the explosion. We talk about this in the episode.

The explosion has entirely hidden Jay D. Jones who is still flying towards the camera.

Redshirt Mallory has stepped on an explosive rock, and redshirt #3 is dead. This episode helped the whole redshirt meme start. Sadly, Jay Jones, the actor was injured.

Akuta crying after Kirk hits him. Kirk isn’t used to this reaction!

Akuta points out Vaal.

Spock tells us there is a forcefield, then decides to walk straight into it.

As they enter the village, we can see a giant snake tongue off to the left. This is their symbol.

We like the interior of the hut. Their set decorator went all out with the jungle and huts. Notice that Akuta makes a snake tongue with his hands.

Feeding the machine.

Strangely colored food.

The actress Celeste Yarnell is ensuring that her face is seen in the shot.

The villagers imitate Chekov.

Bashing in their head melons.

Spock gets hit by lightning.

Yeoman Landon flips one of the villagers. Too bad Uhuru hadn’t beamed down.

A Bird of Prey docks with DS9.

A great shot of Garak emerging from the shadows with a phaser – this time he was ready to protect Kira from Rusot.

Dukat is dealing with depression as he finds out his family has been killed by the Dominion. Then Kira immediately points out that he did the exact same thing on Bajor.

The shuttle with Damar, Garack, Rusot, Kira, and Odo arrives to board a Cardassian shuttle to sneak into the Dominion starbase.

I wish we had talked about the very cool Dominion starbase.

Bashir keeps trying to find the cure for Odo.

Worf challenges Gowron for the position of Chancellor of the Klingon Empire.

Odo is taken by the disease and can no longer shape shift. Rusot takes the time to threaten the life of Kira so he and Damar can take the Dominion weapon themselves.

Damar kills Rusot, saying that his Cardassia is dead and won’t be coming back.

It’s been a few years since we saw Kes. In this episode, she furiously and explosively visits the Voyager. She uses the warp core to travel back in time to try to send the young Kes back to Ocampa.

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

Kes is back, and it looks like she needs help.

For the SFX of the telepathic shove, they must have wanted to save money. They immediately switch to a negative image (seen above), then fade the negative away quickly. This effect was used in the 1960’s Doctor Who episodes as a way of Dalek’s firing their weapon.

A nice view of half the hydroponics bay. Notice the table of plants closest to the camera. Further notice that there is a very nice Kes-sized “coffin” underneath said table.

A nice view of the Doctor’s props.

Old Kes injects new Kes. The positioning is a bit off on the effect, but you don’t notice too much.

Tom Paris suggest that Neelix’ new creation be called, “The Greasy Neelix.”

Shuttle Bay 2. Note that the shuttles are hatchbacks.

Kes sabotages the Doctor’s attempt to resuscitate Tuvok.

Voyager powers away from the Vidiian’s grapples, sacrificing a section of the hull in the process.

This is the the birthday scene as we see at the beginning of the episode.

This is the way we see the birthday scene at the end of the episode. That’s nice direction to use two cameras. Not only is it a nice and easy effect, but it also saves time and money.

Odo is suffering from the same wasting disease that’s affecting the Founders, and Bashir has to find a solution. Gowron awards the Star of Kahless to Martok and takes over administration of the war. Dukat attempts to read the Kosst Amojan, but he pays the price.

Episode Pictures (click for hi-res):

Odo makes a donation to Bashir’s cause.

Kira looks good in a Starfleet uniform.

Dukat tried to look at the Kosst Amojan without Kai Winn there, and pays the price as the book blinds him.

Kira arrives to teach the Cardassian freedom fighters.

After Gowron tells Martok and Worf his war plans, Martok and Worf share an “oh crap he’s crazy” moment.

Dr. Julian Bashir traces Odo’s infection to the time when he was at Starfleet. Clearly, Section 31 infected him.

“Damn. Where are the calluses we doctors are supposed to grow over our feelings?”

Picard speaks to a hiding Wesley, who’s been holding up the turbolift for 5 minutes now.

Geordi, blind because he’s shaving without his VISOR, attempts to run away from Data’s jokes.

That enormous woman doesn’t really look like Tasha Yar.

This is probably the #1 Star Trek TOS episode there is. McCoy goes mad and beams down onto an unknown planet, jumping into a time portal, disrupting the formation of the United Federation of Planets. Kirk and Spock must go back and fix what McCoy has wrought.

The crew watching the time portal. This is a great shot.

Spock watching Captain Kirk explain his ears to a policeman.

Spock and Kirk run past the 21st street mission.

Edith Keeler is making the bums “pay” for their food by talking about science fiction. I’d buy that for a dollar!

Kirk always knew those big ears would be useful for something. Who knew it would be cracking a combination lock! I looked up the history of combination locks, and found the earliest known example is from ancient Rome!

Floyds Barber Shop is proof they were in Mayberry (The Andy Griffith Show). Now if only Don Knotts had been the policeman interrogating them!

Proof of Edith Keeler’s death. I always loved these shots of Star Trek technology “working.”

Spock’s mnemonic memory circuit blows a tube! This was another great set.

McCoy almost assaults a hobo in this wonderful scene of insane McCoy.

The hobo, Rodent by name, accidentally annihilates himself. This was shocking to me when I was a child.

McCoy being nursed back to health by Edith Keeler.

Yes McCoy, Kirk knows what he’s just done. He knows. This was terrific acting by William Shatner – and the entire crew for that matter.

Weyoun and the Breen are getting tired of Damar’s wining. Damar always want to protect his people, but can’t he see that his people are all a part of the Dominion? Jeez! Kasidy is starting to feel the pressure of being a religious figure’s wife. Worf and Ezri finally come to a resolution, and Damar finally snaps.

We failed to talk about this, but what is it? A Bluetooth headset with a direct connection to the Pah Wraiths?

Scared of the Pah Wraiths, and of Ahnjol (Dukat) who admits the Pah Wraiths sent him, Winn yells at him to get out.

Kanar seems rather thick. In fact, we believe it’s much like maple syrup. Could the Cardassians actually be a metaphor for Canada?

While waiting for execution, we get to see that Ezri and Worf’s escape plan using their bed frame left them without a bed frame.

Winn finally accepts evil wholeheartedly.

Wayoun wakes up a drunken Damar with but a whisper.

Dukat tries to rally friend Damar to lead the Cardassian Union.

Benjamin Sisko has to share some bad news with his bride-to-be, Kasidy.

Kai Winn meets with a “man of the land,” who is actually Dukat in disguise.

Benjamin Sisko plays with his model starships.

The Breen use their stun sticks on Worf.

Kai Winn found out that she inadvertantly saved “Anjohl’s” life. How convenient.

Sisko’s dream house looks like it might fit in with the huts on Gilligan’s Island.

The diamond wedding ring that Sisko wanted to give to Kasidy for their marriage ceremony.

Winn is about to kiss Dukat – aggh no! Make it stop!

The Prophet Sarah acts like a mother.

Sisko ignores his mother’s warning, and marries Kasidy Yates anyway, despite a last minute talk from his Mom.

Worf is so angry at Ezri that they have to sit on opposite sides of the room and not talk. Just when you thought captivity couldn’t get worse!

It’s creepy when Weyoun is happy. In this case, he’s happy about the alliance with the Breen.

Kira Nerys receives a call from Gul Dukat, who cruelly informs her that he slept with her mother, Kira Maru (remember, Bajoran names have the family name first then the given name), for seven years.

Nerys plants a small bomb, and it’s yet another Star Trek bomb that has blinking lights on it designed to draw attention to itself.

Meru hears from Taban, who says the kids, Nerys, Reon, and Pohl are doing very well now. Meru starts to cry at the message, and Kira changes her mind about killing her.

Episode Info

I this two-part Voyager episode, the Voyager comes across Borg space – and it is vast. They also find out that the Borg have gotten themselves into quite a mess by crossing over the dimensional barrier and hitting the hornet’s nest with a stick. Fortunately, the Doctor is able to whip up a potential weapon, and Janeway suddenly has something to negotiate with. She strikes a bargain with the Borg to transport Voyager across Borg space in exchange for the key to destroying Species 8472. Meanwhile, Kes is communicating with 8472 by her ever-expanding telepathic and telekinetic powers, and Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One, is welcomed aboard the USS Voyager.

Episode Info

Will Riker comes aboard DS9 while he’s on vacation. The amazing thing is that Riker is as smooth as can be with everyone (except O’Brien). He doesn’t seem like the regular wooden Riker. This is proven when he gets access to the Defiant, phasers Kira, and steals the Defiant! He’s actually Thomas Riker, who now is fighting for the Maquis! Sisko and Dukat must work together on Cardassia to capture the Defiant before Tom starts a war. The problem is that Dukat also has to deal with an Observer from the Obsidian Order, Karinas.

Episode Info

In a fascinating episode, we find out that K’Ehleyr has had a child… probably from when she met Worf a few years ago. But there’s much bigger problems to tackle. The Klingon Emperor, K’mpec masterfully forces Picard to mediate the challengers to the throne as K’mpec dies. It is between the relatively unknown Gowron, and the despicable Duras. We get to see two meaningful deaths, and we even see an honor dual between Klingons. Who wins? Find out by listening!
