Sadly, from now on all our trips Under the Bridge will have much sadder implications going forward, as the podcast sub-series we’ve done for all five seasons is closing shop along with the last standing animated trek show. Listen to them all in this final, most prurient season.
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.
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 dareyou.
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?
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.

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?!
If you haven’t been keeping up, Star Trek Resignation has been Discovery Home Companion-ing all through season three and it’s all finally over. Check out the final episode below. That’s it. The pod is over! At least until we possibly let Glen Status Report all over us.
