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 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?

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.

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.
Disco Home, GTFO
So maybe you read the post below about how we had nice things to say about Star Trek: Discovery?
…
Forget all that.
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.
Picard is Dead; Long Live Picard
The end of everything. Or is it? We get our final criticisms out on what Star Trek: Picard did in this final episode and what we might think of how they built these new characters and killed some old ones.

Picard gets eaten by a flower and talks to some synths. Back in NYC and Jersey, your hosts podcast to keep from going crazy while isolated at home. Heed the Admonition and maintain social distance.
What that harkened back to classic Trek did Wade and Glen like in this episode, and what is Sean so mad about?

How do you talk to your non Trekkie friends about Star Trek: Picard? Especially when they don’t know what a Borg is? It’s a very special episode of Can’t Picardly Wait.*
