Our White Albums for Season 6! It’s that time again, where we each cut a full 26 90’s season of television into a concise modern 8 to 12 episode series.
Turns out we line up pretty well. What did we keep and what got cut?
One “Point of Light” and Three Plots
Klingons are back! And so are their follicles -But hey there’s a lot to cram in this episode between Klingons, fungi, and a Spock plot that none of us want.
This week a new companion jumps on to counter the ignorance of Glen and Sean. Friend of the pod Bucky (@BuckyWTGoodHair on Twitter) comes in to help explain trek lore and backstory where applicable and give his “expert” opinions on this episode plus why fans should be rooting for Disco to succeed.
On the back end we talk about some of the vicious rumors circulating about the show on twitter and youtube.
Let us know what you think! We’ll do something with your calls eventually!

Tears of the Prophets
Season Six is over! Does it die with a bang, or a whimper? The Dominion War reaches a crucial moment. This is not how we want to say goodbye to our space friends.
Are the pieces rushed into place? And does this episode wrap things up satisfactorially?
New Eden, New Ignorance (Discovery Season 2 E02)
“New Eden” brings a classic Star Trek episode, with tropes even non-Trekkers can identify as such. But aside from the away mission on the planet, can someone who hasn’t watched the Discovery make any sense out of the heavy space rock, spore drives, or Tilly’s secret friend back on the ship?
Wade is again joined by Glen Hall and Sean Perrotta, two Star Trek neophytes, but also by Benny Scheckner (https://www.instagram.com/chickenbonesontheground/), who has even LESS frame of reference for this episode.
The Sound of Her Voice
Sisko and the crew become best friends with a voice on the radio.
A return to A plot/B plot structures. And some adventures in the beta quadrant.
We pretty much liked this episode. The 500th episode of Star Trek across all its series.
Time’s Orphan
Molly falls down a space-well and comes out ten years older – and pretty damaged.
Must O’Brien suffer, or must we?
Profit and Lace
Oh no. Ohhh noooo.
Ferengi women get to wear clothes and Quark gets a sex change.
This episode, for all its faults… they only get worse with age.
Valiant
Jake and Nog, behind enemy lines with a buncha teens!
Cadet Kelly Clarkson?
What starts off looking like a NohJay Ferengi Nagus episode takes a wrong turn and detour into a muddled mess.
Voicemail Hullaballoo
See, we still do voicemails!
It’s been tumultuous in the back half of season 6. We hear voicemails from Greg, Warren, Adam, and read some emails.
Can we get our minds right?

His Way
There’s a new self aware Hologram in the world of Star Trek. Deep Space Nine gets its resident nostalgia laced crooner and self help guru. Vic Fontaine, ladies and gentlemen.
