This week, Amaya (and now you) has to put up with Mat doing his dodgy Patrick Stewart impersonation, which is really a dodgy Ian McKellan impersonation from "Lord of the Rings). We also get to see LOTS of Datas (as well as some excellent stuntman tumbling action), creepy Crusher action, and the occasional bit of adult emotional interaction.

This week, Amaya and Mat experience great loss...for Mat, mostly the hour lost watching this episode! But seriously, it's a great case of the parts being better than the sum of the total, but also a time of learning, and they both discover that they love...David Cronenberg's "The Fly"...and f**king "Buffy" comes up again! When will it stop?!!

In this week's episode, Amaya and May learn to say "No!...to drugs"...and a HARD no to dodgy PSA announcements masquerading as drama. Seriously though, turns out "Symbiosis" is some good s**t, man, and if you want some meet us 'round the corner for a fix of solidly written drama and great performances...first time's free...
...and apologies for the poor audio...definitely Amaya's fault...

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat learn that a Death Sphere isn't always what it claims to be...like a sphere, for instance...that Crusher and Picard really just need to get a room, and that maybe this episode is "the best" of Season One...oh! And apologies for more 'Buffy' chat and comparisons. Last time, we swear*.
* We totally don't swear.

"Maj po" this week from Amaya and Mat, who say "tlhIngan maH" in order that we have "qapla"! Yes, it's our first Klingon episode of the season (and the series), and while Amaya's love of Worf continues to grow, Mat almost spoils - close to 40 years on - the TV mini-series "V" - that's right! It's "Wait...where's Marc Singer?", our new addition to the podcast.

This week, Amaya and Mat learn the meaning of self-understanding...as well as just how high Riker can throw his leg over a chair and thrust his crotch at someone! There's also young love, daring rescue, and 'sweet as' Starfleet after-hours fashion, in what amounts to a solid episode...but not without some rewrites, of course.

This week, Amaya and Mat explore the universe's BIG questions: what actually constitutes *real* life, and; what the Hell was the secret name of this podcast for the last eighteen episodes?! They also find time for some of your two favourite segments: Amaya's Phasers on Fashion and Mat's Minute of Miniatures and Matte Paintings.

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat pretty much forget everyone's name, confusing characters with actors, then spend quite a bit of time dissecting the social constructs of the High School Musical-verse - but don't worry: they do end up rating episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...and somewhere in here actually discuss this quite nicely made episode of ST: TNG.

In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat debate whether Mat is just a young man wearing a lot of prosthetics to appear much older, and, in fact, is not even her father! We also talk about this episode of ST: TNG which, coincidentally, also features unconvincing prosthetics and a storyline that can't make up its mind what theme it wants to settle upon.

On this week's episode, Riker gets his weird on, Mat gets even weirder about Riker's weirdness, then Picard seems to want to join in, and Amaya has to put up with the lot. There's a lot to discuss here, including the possibility that this might be the best episode yet for Season One, and the fact that Amaya might at last be coming around to Data!
