Ten Forward 37: What Is a Unicorn But a Horse With an Extra D*ck? 1:51:56

5d ago1:51:56

1:51:56

We're taking a bit of an "Enterprise" break to discuss one of the foundations of modern cyberpunk and its legacy sequel: "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner 2049". In a future where it almost never stops raining, artificial human slaves and their complex, ever-shifting relationship with their human creators/oppressors are the crux on which the world t…

1:23:04

We got time travel and cosplay time travel this week on "Enterprise"!

Episode 345: The Phantom of the Slothra 1:13:23

26d ago1:13:23

1:13:23

The Xindi arc continues this week, and the investigation gets stupid. First up: it's a little "Phantom of the Opera", a little "Beauty and the Beast" and maybe a big pile of tell don't show when Hoshi becomes unwilling roommates with a lonely telepath in "Exile". After that, Archer learns a lesson about the Xindi he'll almost definitely forget by n…

Episode 344: Shoot Her! 1:28:17

1M ago1:28:17

1:28:17

When you've got a stun setting, just follow Muldoon's advice and all your problems will be solved. First up: the Xindi come up with a needlessly convoluted plan to get information on human biology in "Rajiin". After that, "Trek" decides to do a pretty humdrum zombie story in "Impulse".Also this week: rewrites, running short, and Odo![timestamps: Ra…

Episode 343: Too Much Too Soon 1:22:02

1M ago1:22:02

1:22:02

"Enterprise" is going too fast! First up: Archer ditches his morals faster than you can say "enhanced interrogation" in "Anomaly". After that: maybe "Extinction" would've been more interesting if we didn't know what was happening so early on in it (probably not, tho).Also this week: moral cowardice, Chekov's peach, and Chief O'Brien![timestamps: An…

Episode 342: Every Day's a Bad Day in Florida 1:23:05

2M ago1:23:05

1:23:05

Well, it's here. The end of Season 2 and start of Season 3, where the producers decided "let's do 9/11". First up: the dumbest aliens ever decide to try the test version of their planet-killer ray on their ultimate target, thus giving Earth ample time to plan in "The Expanse". After that, "Enterprise" starts its bold new season with yet ANOTHER pri…

Episode 341: The Wrongest Stuff 1:15:31

2M ago1:15:31

1:15:31

Everyone is so bad at everything they do this week! First up: we find out how Archer went from milquetoast to milquetoast but a Captain in the tension-free "First Flight"! After that: a dude that's way too nice to be a bounty hunter has the misfortune of capturing Archer and having to spend time with him in "Bounty"!Also this week: three-hander, th…

1
Episode 340: Too Open Minded 1:23:49

2M ago1:23:49

1:23:49

Content warning: discussion of suicide.Archer just keeps biffing it this week. First up: he's too blinded by his new friends' toys to realize their society is absolute garbage in "Cogenitor". After that, "Enterprise" betrays the prequel format yet again by having Borg show up in "Regeneration".Also this week: confused messaging, timeline theories, …

1
Episode 339: Justice for Mayweather 1:27:00

2M ago1:27:00

1:27:00

Even when they give him something to do, "Enterprise" wastes Mayweather. First up, it's a toothless rehash of "Fortunate Son" as Mayweather visits his family's cargo ship in "Horizon". After that: he gets to lead a rescue mission until he inevitably busts his leg in "The Breach."Also this week: a memorable opening, needs more bigotry, and Kira Nery…

Episode 338: Liked It Until I Didn't 1:39:36

3M ago1:39:36

1:39:36

Back to the rehash mines, "Enterprise"! First up: Starfleet meets their first energy beings and we recall all the times they're going to have done it better in their future/our past in "The Crossing". After that, Martok shows up to defend Archer in "we have Star Trek VI at home", otherwise known as "Judgment".Also this week: bread, a missing key de…

Episode 337: Ships Adrift 1:18:40

3M ago1:18:40

1:18:40

Starting off the same but going very different places in both episodes this week! First off: is a drifting ship the final resting place of Zephram Cochrane or, just perhaps, an Admiral From the Future's tomb in "Future Tense". After that, it's another false imprisonment story that ALMOST becomes "Con Air" but refuses to be that cool in "Canamar".Al…

Episode 336: When Did Star Trek Get Political? 1:38:36

3M ago1:38:36

1:38:36

Warnings UP FRONT:Unfortunately, "Fusion" is important background to the first episode this week, so the events of that come up. Also we're talking Tasha Yar later so her unfortunately-written history is also discussed.ALSO: we throw caution to the wind and spoil the ever-living crap out of "Picard" throughout the blogtivity this week. Like almost …

Episode 335: Getting Hot In Here 1:23:56

3M ago1:23:56

1:23:56

Things are heating up on "Enterprise"! First up, a radiation storm is going to cook everyone alive unless they cool their heels with some new alien friends in "The Catwalk". After that, we've been there and done that but now the sun's going to broil Trip alive in "Dawn"!Also this week: avoiding ambiguity, continued familiarity, and Guinan![timestam…

1
Episode 334: Spooky Scary 1:16:02

3M ago1:16:02

1:16:02

Ooh, it's a chilling week on "Enterprise". First up: is a transporter issue turning Hoshi into a g-g-g-ghost in "Vanishing Point"? After that, YOU decide what's more terrifying: how lazy the very familiar plot of "Precious Cargo" is, or the absolutely abysmal acting of its principal guest star!Also this week: dreams are stupid, a season one week, a…

1
Episode 333: ...Let's Say Moe 1:16:22

4M ago1:16:22

1:16:22

The solutions this week are such lazy pulls from the writer's behind that calling them deus ex machinas would be an insult to that concept. First up: Archer and Reed are so desparate to not break the nonexistent Prime Directive that they almost get killed until the "Enterprise" crew realizes they have something for that in the trunk in "The Communi…

1
Episode 332: That Was Easy 1:18:14

4M ago1:18:14

1:18:14

Simple solutions abound this week! First up, a very lazy "Seven Samurai" clone is wrapped up with no loss of life thanks, in part, to the worst Klingons we've ever met in "Marauders". After that, T'Pol has a complicated past...no, wait, she's definitively good and her quarry explicitly bad in the lazy "The Seventh".Also this week: one last dose of …

1
Episode 331: Continuity Week 1:20:31

4M ago1:20:31

1:20:31

The past is back to haunt us this week on "Enterprise" – both recent and not. First up: while searching for a fix for the mine damage from last week, the crew is directed to an automated repair station that seems a bit too good to be true in "Dead Stop". After that, Archer has offended the Kreetassans again (but maybe they have a point this time), …

1
Episode 330: Cap'n Nosy 1:32:46

4M ago1:32:46

1:32:46

This week Archer's inability to leave well enough alone drives one plot and is actually pretty integral to solving another. First up: Archer's done some rooting so T'Pol tells an old family tale of cultural contamination in "Carbon Creek". After that: an accident in space has Reed doing his usual "sacrifice me for the good of the ship" schtick and …

1
Episode 329: Enterprise Didn't Start the Fire 1:21:41

5M ago1:21:41

1:21:41

How do you wrap up a season one like the one "Enterprise" just had? By suddenly remembering how to write a halfway-decent episode of "Star Trek"! Despite heavily featuring The Temporal Cold War and the entirely obnoxious Daniels we find ourselves pretty happy with the pacing and feeling of actual stakes! What could this mean going forward?!Also thi…

1
Episode 328: Galactic Lampoon's Risan Vacation 1:35:50

5M ago1:35:50

1:35:50

"Enterprise" has decided to have an arc, and it's about trying to get to Risa! No, really. But there's some hiccups on the way and even more once they get there! First up: Data's Mom is an inspiration to T'Pol but uh-oh she might be bad in "Fallen Hero". After that, Mr. Krabs wants Archer's help against tyranny in "Desert Crossing". Finally, almost…

1
Episode 327: Having a Blast With Reed 1:24:00

5M ago1:24:00

1:24:00

Fresh off last week's desperate attempts, we've got another bit of stunt-casting and then a really...interesting alien design. First up, the writers were really afraid we missed their subtle metaphor when they invite Archer's old buddy Al to play an evil jailer in "Detained". After that, there was a much easier solution to "Vox Sola" but then the e…

1
Episode 326: Reeking of Desperation 1:27:40

5M ago1:27:40

1:27:40

We have to imagine the conversation at "Enterprise" HQ was something akin to: "OH GOD MAYBE THEY'LL LIKE IT IF WE BRING BACK EVERYTHING THEY LOVE?!" So get ready for canon-bending Ferengi, Ethan Phillips, and Jeffrey Combs in "Acquisition". After that, it's Rene Auberjonois in a semi-remake of a DS9 episode in "Oasis".Also this week: the idiot ball…

1
Episode 325: Obvious From the Off 1:33:23

6M ago1:33:23

1:33:23

CONTENT WARNING: The first episode has a not-at-all-subtle sexual assault metaphor in it, so we discuss that a lot. Timestamps below if you need to jump right to the second one.This week, baddies are apparent from the word go in "Enterprise". First up, "Trek" tries to de-monoculture one of its most famous ones when we meet some unique Vulcans in "F…

1
Episode 324: High Angle Zoomout 1:18:32

6M ago1:18:32

1:18:32

If I had a nickel for every time an episode ended with the same kind of shot this week on SSHB, I'd only have two nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice. First up: continuity comes home to roost as the aftermath of past actions leads to Archer getting himself and T'Pol hostaged in "Shadows of P'Jem". After that: a character study and metana…

1
Episode 323: Trip's Week Off 1:38:24

6M ago1:38:24

1:38:24

Not much Trip this week, and maybe there's better links here but this one is more important. First up: no one on "Enterprise" seems to know how evolution actually works in "Dear Doctor". After that, tough luck if you were expecting Porthos, you're just getting Klingons in "Sleeping Dogs".Also this week: no respect from the writers, the whitest man …

1
Episode 322: Future Tenseless 1:46:50

6M ago1:46:50

1:46:50

You'd find more stakes in a vegetarian restaurant than we're finding in "Enterprise" this week! (cue Data waving his arms comically) But seriously, folks, we don't care. At all. The future might be doomed but the 22nd century is going to be fine in "Cold Front". After that, what SHOULD be the A plot is instead relegated to the backup story about a …

1
Episode 321: Shady Creeps 1:43:02

6M ago1:43:02

1:43:02

Meeting a lot of jerks this week on "Enterprise", and no we don't mean more members of the NX-01 crew! First up: a developing alien world is being poisoned by a different, more advanced alien who claims he's just chilling there because he likes the culture and TOTALLY isn't up to no good in "Civilization". After that, some cargo haulers are trying …

Ten Forward 36: Very Short Treks 33:06

7M ago33:06

33:06

For some reason the braintrust at Paramount decided it was worth "celebrating" the fiftieth anniversary of "Star Trek: The Animated Series". To do that, they appear to have scraped together the rejected jokes from every Adult Swim series and South Park and slapped a coat of TAS-style animation on top. Seriously, of the five they churned out, one wa…

1
Episode 320: Archer Can't Diplomat 1:11:40

7M ago1:11:40

1:11:40

Archer is SO BAD at subtlety and diplomacy, guys. Seriously. Watch as he buys time badly and then declares himself simultaneous King of two civilizations in "The Andorian Incident". After that, nothing will get in the way of his prejudices when Vulcans are hanging around in "Breaking the Ice".Also this week: vampire assignment, puffy poop boots, an…

1
Episode 319: Progeny 1:26:18

7M ago1:26:18

1:26:18

Descendants are all over the place this week on "Enterprise"! First up, Trip finds out the hard way he's biologically compatible with an alien species in "Unexpected". After that, the "Enterprise" goes looking for a missing Earth colony and finds some rather unexpected residents in "Terra Nova".Also this week: bad safety, bad naming, and Doctor McC…

Episode 318: Bad Trips 1:29:09

7M ago1:29:09

1:29:09

And we're off! Yes, with the pilot out of the way it's time for "Enterprise" to hit the ground running, and...ah...oh, did they not hear the starting pistol? First up: space is pretty empty and it's making everyone antsy until things get kinda scary in "Fight or Flight". After that: drugs bring out the worst in everyone in "Strange New World".Also …

1
Episode 317: Metric Seconds 1:34:36

8M ago1:34:36

1:34:36

Right! Break time is over, back to the "Trek" mines as we dive face-first into "Enterprise"! But now we're going back to an earlier point in the future as we join Captain Archer and his crew on the first warp-five Starfleet ship taking tentative steps out into the galaxy a century-ish before TOS! A Klingon has crash landed in the titular "Broken Bo…

Ten Forward 35: Tales From the Holodeck VII - Fakery Abounds 1:39:42

8M ago1:39:42

1:39:42

We've come around to another anniversary, and as has become tradition we're celebrating with fanfics! But it's also our cap to "Voyager", which we wrapped a mere few weeks ago. So it's one last go with Kathy and crew, many fake folks, and a few fake worlds! What does that mean? Listen to find out!Jake's: 03:33https://www.tumblr.com/sshbpodcast/7277…

Ten Forward 34: Trekkies 1:19:53

8M ago1:19:53

1:19:53

Well, the "Voyager" doc wasn't ready in time for us to cover it at the end of the series, so we went through the shelves and scrounged up "Trekkies", the Denise Crosby–hosted look at "Star Trek" conventions and the fans that attend them! It...certainly has a bias.Also this week: The Match Game, Iowa, and mascots![cw: brief mention of suicidal ideat…

Ten Forward 33: Back to the Future Part III 1:07:33

8M ago1:07:33

1:07:33

Slap on your spurs and get ready to think Fourth Dimensionally, because it's time for "Back to the Future Part III"! Time to finish things off by going back to the beginning of Hill Valley, as Marty travels to 1885 to save Doc from the wrath of Mad Dog Tannen. But will the erstwhile scientist's reason be clouded by...love?Also this week: M. Night c…

Ten Forward 32: Back to the Future Part II 1:12:38

9M ago1:12:38

1:12:38

It's another between-series break, and what better way to buffer the time travel heavy "Voyager" finale and the start of the Temporal Cold War flavored "Enterprise" than to finish watching the "Back to the Future" trilogy? This week it's Part II, famous for hoverboards, missing costars, and going a bit meta about sequel mechanics!Also this week: Ze…

1
Episode 316: To the Voyage 2:01:20

9M ago2:01:20

2:01:20

The "Voyager" has made it, and so have we. Yes, it's "Endgame", the two-part series finale. But Admiral Janeway didn't get home fast enough for her liking so she proves Captain Braxton right by treating the time-space continuum as her plaything to get the ending she wants. All she has to do is convince herself to take an incredible risk that brings…

1
Episode 315: Farewell Neelix 1:39:39

9M ago1:39:39

1:39:39

Yes there were three episodes this week, but only one of them truly matters. First up, in "Natural Law", an interesting plot shows up just in time for the episode to end while Chris disagrees with everyone else on the quality of the B plot. After that, Caitlin and Neelix both complete their arcs as everyone's favorite Ambassador finds a purpose and…

1
Episode 314: Hot, Late, and Tired 1:09:32

9M ago1:09:32

1:09:32

Look, we're kind of punchy this week but we actually remain largely on-point through much of this week's "Voyager" journey. First up: the Doc writes some really bad fanfic and then OOPS LEGAL DRAMA NOW in "Author, Author." After that, we find out that maybe the Prime Directive occasionally has a point in "Friendship One".Also this week: a special w…

Episode 313: Well That's Inconvenient 1:11:15

10M ago1:11:15

1:11:15

Things are aggravating for Janeway this week on "Voyager". First up, Seven of Reg has a new video game that keeps her from her duties in "Human Error". After that, Q dumps his kid in Janeway's lap and asks her to fix his attitude problem in "Q2".Also this week: a new theme, Neelix loves drapes, and TWO activities![timestamps: Human Error: 02:02; Q2…

Episode 312: Play The Hits 1:33:25

10M ago1:33:25

1:33:25

[SPOILERS for all of "Picard" and SNW S.1 in this week's blog talk at the end]Everything's a bit familiar this week on "Voyager". First up: a heavy dose of "The Time Trap" and "Night" with a dash of "The Trouble With Tribbles" and "Concerning Flight" brings us "The Void", where Janeway has to introduce the concept of cooperation to some people who'…

1
Episode 311: Breach Week 1:23:25

10M ago1:23:25

1:23:25

This week on a somewhat-unfocused SSHB, we talk jury duty, lollipops, and Klingon body part math. We also talk about future "Prodigy" because this was recorded before Paramount announced their dumbest decision in recent memory. Also this week: Seven befriends a convict on his way to death row in "Repentance", some Klingons pulling a reverse-"Voyage…

1
Episode 310: Broken Time, Broken Heart 1:26:30

10M ago1:26:30

1:26:30

What complications have arisen for the "Voyager" crew this week? First, time is fragmented and only Chakotay can journey between the pieces of the puzzle in "Shattered"! After that, a new candidate for worst "Trek" parent emerges as major news forces B'Elanna to grapple with memories of her youth in "Lineage"!Also this week: not quite a clip show, …

Ten Forward 31: Predator 57:54

10M ago57:54

57:54

In what might be a first in the Ten Forward series, we're hitting up an 80s classic that NONE of us have seen. Featuring a monster that's crossed over with everyone from Xenomorphs to major comic book heroes, it's 1987's "Predator"! So how does this movie work when literally none of us have any rose-tinted glasses for it? Listen to find out!Also th…

1
Episode 309: The Consequences of My Actions 1:36:13

11M ago1:36:13

1:36:13

No one can do anything right this week. First up: Harry gets a crack at command and is intensely terrible at it (but not in the way you'd expect!) in "Nightingale"! After that: Janeway's gift of holo technology to the Hirogen has resulted in a light rebellion in "Flesh and Blood".Also this week: pulling a Costanza, should've used Tosk, and DS9 vill…

1
Episode 308: Dang It, Holograms! 1:25:48

11M ago1:25:48

1:25:48

Our photonic friends are nothing but trouble this week on "Voyager". First up: a facsimile Barclay who should be helping "Voyager" is instead reprogrammed by Ferengi (or is it Ferengeh?)to kill them all in the name of profit in "Inside Man". After that, The Doctor needs to hide from hologram-haters inside Seven, but it also means he gets to go full…

Episode 307: Bring It Down From Within 1:23:17

11M ago1:23:17

Time to crush the system! First up: someone went and did a "Manchurian Candidate" on Tuvok and he makes the ex-Marquis join him in a takeover in "Repression".

1
Episode 306: The B'Elanna and Seven Show 1:37:46

11M ago1:37:46

1:37:46

Alright, so maybe the title is an exaggeration but this is for sure the first time we've had two episodes in a row where these characters have pleasant conversations with each other. First up, Seven's cortical implant is on the fritz and the prognosis is bad, so she hides from the Doctor with Torres in "Imperfection". After that, Tom does a race at…

Episode 305: The Good Enough of Both Worlds 1:38:00

12M ago1:38:00

1:38:00

Somehow we have already reached the end of season six and the start of season seven of "Voyager"! In what is more-or-less "Trek" tradition it's a two-part affair, and the Borg are back in town! This time we find out about the titular "Unimatrix Zero", where a random array of drones spend their regeneration cycles aware of who they used to be and li…
