Wade, Glen and Sean are back. We come not to bury Star Trek: Discovery, but to praise it… what we can about it. It’s dying at the end of the season anyway. We also come to criticize. Mostly that. But for the right reasons, people. We promise. If you hate how gay it is, we can’t help you there. That goes back to the things we can say positive about it. Why does every criticism of this show have to start off on the defensive about how great diversity is?

There’s a whole season of a podcast about a season of a show we like, all ready for you to catch up on. This latest season of Lower Decks wasn’t our favorite yet, but we do like our cartoons. Check it out and tell all your friends who listen to podcasts, because just how is one supposed to market a podcast these days? None of us are famous. Far from it! Even if Wade Bowen is a semi famous country musician.

We’re still talking about everything on the patreon. Here you might see some recent bleed-over from that show everyone was talking about that is finally over.
Oh. … and Wade made it over to that other place: bogmad.bsky.social
Continue reading “We’re Still Here”Huh. Wait what? Picard is good now?
Yeah, that’s right. All those other podcasts and shows are lying to you. We’re the only source you can trust on NuTrek. NO. We’re not a cult. How dare you.
Here we go on about what works in episodes 3 and 4 of Star Trek: Picard season 3. How does the show finally use what previous seasons refused to acknowledge about the universe? Just what is the relationship between technobabble and melodrama? How prurient can we be about our extracurricular activities?

Can Picardly Wait
Hey, look at that. A Star Trek Podcast. Wade, Glen and Sean skip right over Season 2 and into the final Season of Star Trek Picard.
Continue reading “Can Picardly Wait”Emergency Episode of The Rules of Acquisition
Did you catch the latest episode of DS9? No? You’re not caught up on Star Trek: Lower Decks? The Station, Quark, Kira, and some gamma quadrant aliens all showed up. Time to pull the RoA out of the box and dust it off.

Say Yes … to Disco Home
Living with Trauma, Wade, Glen, and Sean are evaluating their relationship to Star Trek: Discovery and making the changes needed to solve the problem of how to podcast about it.
Is season 4 the best the show has ever been? What does that even mean?
Somehow the “squeecore” debate is brought up. If you’re not a soldier in those particular twitter wars… Good! Here’s the ritegud podcast that started it.
Continue reading “Say Yes … to Disco Home”Resurrections and Going Backward in Time
Wade has another baby and the podcast just goes off the grid, huh? There’s plenty going on at the KoE patreon for a weekly fix. You can hear some of that on the Kickers of Elves main feed. In the meantime, enjoy this discussion we had about the new Matrix movie, Tenet, and what we think about some things going on.
Also new things are coming round soon on Star Trek Resignation with Wade, Glen and Sean.

Hey, KOE is still out there. Don’t get overwhelmed.
If you’re not a patron… well, then. That’s fine. This week we’re totally dad-pilled, but if you want something lighter we also talk about Shang- Chi, Eternals, and movies some of us think are going to fail [Dune].
Check out Kickers of Elves on Patreon, where twice this week we try to get to the bottom of some of the current idiocy.

And hey look! Star Trek Content! For free! On Under the Bridge we’re covering Star Trek: Lower Decks, and realizing how it’s doing the work of television well in a way that the higher profile shows could probably learn something from. Characters that have meaningful and believable arcs? On a dumb reference cartoon?!

It’s Star Trek Resignation time again.
Wade deemed Glen and Sean “not scabs” and watched the first two episodes of Star Trek: Lower Decks, a Star Trek show we like. Come at us, trekkers.
