Trek in the Valley

S3 EP 1: "Evolution"

"I can't get the story of Gulliver out of my head; overpowered by Lilliputians." Cue "Evolution" By Edward Vedder and the Pearl Jam Gang! This week, Trek in the Vallites, we are covering the first episode of Season 3 of Star Trek: TNG, "Evolution." Which means this is technically season SIX of Trek in the Valley. In this one, the ship gets taken down a peg by tiny robo space-bugs or something! We recorded it a couple weeks ago. Wes Crusher seems to have become less annoying during the break between seasons.  Like the podcast and throw us a review!

S2 EP 22: "Shades of Gray"

"How do we know this bug doesn't like androids more than it likes humans?" This week we get our first Star Trek: TNG clip show with the Season Finale of S2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Shades of Gray." This episode tricks you into thinking it is going to be about Riker almost dying from alien infection, but then when the B-Story is supposed to kick in, it turns into a clips show. We touch on the "they were out of money" of it all, mention the writer's strike, but not in depth because we don't do that! Man, Frakes sometimes gets tied to bad Star Trek Season Finales...

TNG S2 EP 21: "Peak Performance"

"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life." "Do you want to play a game?"...Is what Starfleet asked Picard. To which he said, "I would rather not, but I guess we need to be ready to fight the Borg so, sure." In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Peak Performance, Riker and a ragtag crew in a derelict ship, face off against the might of Picard and the Enterprise. Will Word and Riker's guile, and Acting Ensign Crusher's open cheating, be enough to win? Or will it all go wonky when a Ferengi captain thinks he smells a profit? Oh, also, they play this weird game with the stuffy strategist observer where the competitors have these weird finger-milking gloves on while they play Connect 12 or whatever. Pretty gross!

TNG S2 EP 20: "The Emissary"

"Sometimes I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out." Everyone, quick! Check it out. Adam and Al got together on the computer once again to record an episode of Trek in the Valley for YOU! This week the dudes in the Valley are covering a classic TNG episode which gets some of their highest ratings yet. In, "The Emissary" Worf is faced with a lady from his past and then he presumably loses his virginity. Also, some thawing Klingons pose a threat to Starfleet outposts. Don't worry, it all comes together, Star Trek style, and the dudes talk about it. Also, Al is stoked about the World Cup and Adam had to briefly be a wet blanket about it because, fun fact about Adam, he kind of sucks. Like the podcast and throw us a review!

TNG S2 EP 19: "Manhunt"

"What a handsome race." This week the great Lwaxana Troi is back to shake things up on the Enterprise. She is going through Betazoid Super Menopause and she has her sights set on Picard. Picard attempts to hide from Lwaxana in a Dixon Hill story on the Holodeck that absolutely does not pay off in terms of action. Instead, Lwaxana becomes quite taken with a holo-bartender that she thinks is a genuine human man! Oh yeah, also, she is very racist and she solves an assassination plot out of the blue at the end. Also, also Adam tells the story about how he did road rage and thusly got road raged at!  **The audio is weird on this one. We had a bad input that caused some cracking. Still a good listen, because we have done this many times and are quite skilled, but you might get a crackle here and there and it isn't your ear budders.** Like the podcast and throw us a review!
