In Subspace Radio #93 , Rob and I follow a spectral figure into a dark corner to discuss “The Griffin Incident” (SNW) before looking back on other lost Starfleet ships in “The Time Trap” (TAS), “The Pegasus” (TNG), and “Star Trek Beyond”.
In Subspace Radio #92 , Rob and I return from 65 million years in Earth’s past on a conspicuous chunk of iridium-rich rock to discuss “Valles Marineris” (SNW) before examining other closed-loop time puzzles that are best not to over-think. We consider the Bell Riots of “Past Tense” (DS9), the subspace fractures of “Time and Again” (VOY), and the Ed Begley Juniors of “Future’s End” (VOY).
In Subspace Radio #91 , Rob and I tear our recording studio apart to stage a show trial for the future of the Star Trek franchise as we discuss “Rubincon” (SA), before looking back on past episodes dealing with mothers and motherhood: “Dark Page” (TNG) and “Shattered Mirror” (DS9). Finally, before signing off for the hiatus, we briefly discuss our hopes for the future of Star Trek.
In Subspace Radio #90 , Rob and I agree to split up and record two separate podcasts about “300th Night” (SA), before reuniting for a manual docking at Farpoint Station to discuss other appearances of saucer separation in “Encounter at Farpoint” (TNG), “The Arsenal of Freedom” (TNG), “The Best of Both Worlds, Part II” (TNG), and “Star Trek Generations”.
I find myself feeling about the Studio Display XDR the same way I do about the Vision Pro. It’s a high-priced product on the leading edge of what is possible with mass-market consumer electronics. I am directly in the target market. This feels made for me. But the fact that its value is limited by strict “walled garden” constraints imposed by Apple makes me not able to justify the purchase.

In Subspace Radio #89 , Rob and I decide to stage this week’s episode of the podcast, discussing “The Life of the Stars” (SA) as a piece of amateur theatre in a spare conference room on board the ship. We then reflect on other adventures upon the stage from episodes past: “The Conscience of the King” (TOS) and “Frame of Mind” (TNG).
In Subspace Radio #88 , Rob and I agree to be each other’s best men to pass the time while reflecting on “Ko’Zeine” (SA), then discuss past episodes where characters found themselves alone on the bridge of a starship: “The Mark of Gideon” (TOS), “One” (VOY), “Relics” (TNG), and “Singularity” (ENT).
In Subspace Radio #87 , Rob and I take a completely uneventful field trip that goes 100% according to plan, then look back on Star Trek episodes where the ship’s computer developed a mind of its own — from “Tomorrow is Yesterday” (TOS) to “…But to Connect” (DIS).
In Subspace Radio #86 , Rob and I take one more turn around the pylons without vomiting glitter as we consider “Series Acclimation Mil” (SA). We then look back on the character of Benjamin Sisko, as portrayed by Avery Brooks, including memorable outings in “In the Pale Moonlight” (DS9), “The Emissary” (DS9), “Sacrifice of Angels” (DS9) and “Rapture” (DS9). 🎧…
In Subspace Radio #85 , Rob and I at first refused to appear in this episode because we both suspected the other was doing us a favour, but we had a debate competition about it and agreed enough blood had been spilled for the show to go on. While searching for ways to understand Klingons, we revisit “Errand of Mercy” (TOS), “Sins of the Father” (TNG), “Reunion” (TNG), “Redemption” (TNG), and…
