Abracadabra! Prepare your magical runes and put on your pointiest hat because we’re going to be talking about Magic (without a ‘k’) and three different episodes where Magic is believed to be involved. Of course, unlike ‘The Magicks of Magus-Tu,’ we’re not delving into ‘so magic is actually real’ territory and instead, magic is more inferred. In ‘Spirit Folk,’ Tom Paris’ weird obsession with making Harry kiss a cow gets the crew of the Voyager into trouble on the holodeck while in New Eden, Pike, Michael Burnham discover a planet of people descended from survivors from World War III who have renounced all technology and Owosekun was there as well and then, in ‘The Elysian Kingdom’, M’Benga gets to play out his daughter’s favourite fantasy novel while in the real world, Anson Mount has way too much fun playing a cowardly cad! Are we sure this nebula isn’t evil? Alakazam! Time Codes: What Non-Star Trek thing have we enjoyed?

Right, everyone quit Oo-moxing for two minutes because we’ve got another episode talking about those hyper-capitalist scamps, the Ferengi; literally one of the few times here on the show where we can say without doubt that it’s a metaphor for capitalism! Our brave casual explorers watch three Ferengi-based episodes of Star Trek without any Quark-based antics, first up is probably TNG’s most successful attempt to try and sell these guys as the Big Bad as Captain Picard is forced to face his past as a revenge attempt leads him to relieve ‘The Battle,’ after that, Trip gets to do a Home Alone/Die Hard as the worst trio of Ferengi try to pull an ‘Acquisition’ on the Enterprise NX-01 and finally, the Lower Decks get to see what Ferengi TV and Miles’ AO3 account is like as ‘Parth Ferengi’s Heartplace’ makes us ask… do Rutherford and Tendi like each other… in a sexy way? Please send us two strips of Gold-Pressed Latinum for reading the show notes. Wait, you wanted to know the price up-front? THIS IS WHY YOU READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, GUYS!!! Episodes discussed: THE BATTLE (12:09) ACQUISITION (41:31) PARTH FERENGI’S HEARTPLACE (01:11:36) TALKING POINTS INCLUDE: Bioshock, Saturday Night Live UK, US Advert Breaks are the devil, the Ferengi did just as well as being the Next Klingons as the Voord did as being the next Daleks, it must be a World Cup year because Miles makes a football joke, TNG Season 1 has a naff charm, some great prop-acting from Patrick Stewart, its no surprise why Denise Crosby quit, Miles also wants to wear the Wesley-sweater and the male miniskirt from S1, Miles should not travel back in time to meet his 14 year old self, one day, we will cover the episode where Wesley Crusher nearly pulls. Why DO British people find the name ‘Jeff’ funny? Ethan Phillips clearly relishes playing Evil Season One Neelix, we’re right back to the TNG Season One idiot Ferengi, is this meant to be a comedy? Miles and Charlie discuss their Home Alone-style traps and just how badly they’d go, for an episode with a Darkplace homage title, there are very few Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace references, Miles misses binging television, Lower Decks shipping, even the best writers have done naff work, Mariner’s depressingly relatable character development backslide and what Ferengi TV show would Charlie get addicted to? [Charlie’s note: Miles kept spelling Ferengi wrong in this recap, as he’s just that casual, but I’ve changed it for your sanity and my own] [Trae from the network’s note: Charlie missed a couple of “Ferengi” misspellings, and apparently neither know how to spell “Tendi.”] [ Additional Show Notes ] Music by Alfred Etheridge-Nunn.

Look, there are two things I wanted to talk about this month, but didn’t have enough time to fully prepare an episode on either. So, instead, I’m just going to talk about my current thoughts on both of these (unrelated) topics. First off we have the US Military no longer recognizing about 180 different religions, and then after that I’m talking about my thoughts on Chaos vs Eclecticism. Like I said, unrelated topics.
