Pat Trek

Brian Sebby returns to the show to discuss Coming of Age, a Wesley-centric episode that surprisingly holds up. This week, the Pats discuss a shadowy conspiracy threatening the Federation, and rigorous Academy exams that look a lot like hazing.

Pat W. literally phones in this episode of Pat Trek from vacation in Omaha to discuss Home Soil. In this episode, the Enterprise crew must solve a murder on a terraform base, and suffer the insults of a sentient talking rock.

Peaches and Hot Sauce contributor Zack Mast sits down with Pat and Pat to discuss When the Bough Breaks, an uncharacteristically good Season 1 episode, until it takes a bizarre turn in the third act.

This week, the Pats dig further in to the first season to discuss Data and his twin brother in Datalore. Where did Data come from? Why does he talk like that? Why was he built to resemble character actor Brent Spiner? Some of these questions will be answered, and more on this episode of Pat Trek.

Finally, the Holodeck gets used for something other than a place for Riker to mope about girl problems, as Picard takes a virtual-reality vacation to live the life of a 1940s private eye. Brian Holden of Starkid joins Pat and Pat to discuss his Star Trek fandom and whether or not the Holodeck is actually an elaborate execution chamber.

Lindsay Baish joins Pat and Pat to talk about Haven, an episode supposedly set in the 24th century, but is clearly inspired by the 1980s.

Pat O.'s mom and dad stop by the studio to talk about The Lonely Among Us and the O'Rourke family's love of Captain Picard. Pat W. gets further in to the universe of Star Trek in an episode full of beings of pure energy and slapstick alien cannibalism.

In The Last Outpost, an away team uncovers an ancient mystery planetside (again) and the Enterprise crew nearly dies (again). Join Pat, Pat, and The Nerdologues' Chris Geiger as they chat about TNG's fourth episode, as well as the first appearance of the Ferengi.

On this week's episode of Pat Trek, Pat & Pat finally come into agreement over Code of Honor, an almost universally panned episode of TNG. Special guest Brian Sebby joins the Patricks to pick apart the wreckage of this televised train wreck.

Sean Kelley of Improvised Star Trek joins the Patricks to discuss The Naked Now. In this episode of Pat Trek, they debate whether the second installment of TNG was any good, as well as the ethics of programming a robot for sex.

On September 28, 1987, Star Trek returned to television for the first time in almost 20 years with Encounter at Farpoint. In this episode, Patrick O. guides Patrick W. through the complexities of Starfleet, the mystery of Q, and why Jean-Luc Picard has a British accent.
