Episode 89: Theatre (SA 1×08 The Life of the Stars)

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:20:35 +1100

Kev and Rob 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. They then reflect on other adventures upon the stage from episodes past, "The Conscience of the King" (TOS) and "Frame of Mind" (TNG).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:27:22 +1100

Kev and Rob agree to be each other's best men to pass the time while reflecting on the somewhat uneven (and uneventful) outing that was “Ko'Zeine” (SA). To ward off the hallucinations caused by warp slug, they 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).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 20:47:22 +1100

Rob and Kev take a completely uneventful field trip that goes 100% according to plan as they discuss “Come, Let's Away” (SA), then look back on other episodes where the ship's computer developed a personality and apparent consciousness of its own. They discuss “Tomorrow is Yesterday” (TOS), “The Practical Joker” (TAS), “Emergence” (TNG), and “…But to Connect” (DIS).

Episode 86: Benjamin Sisko (SA 1×05 Series Acclimation Mil)

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 12:16:16 +1100

Kev and Rob take one more turn around the pylons, and manage to do it without vomiting glitter as they consider “Series Acclimation Mil” (SA). They 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).

Episode 85: Understanding Klingons (SA 1×04 Vox In Excelso)

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 20:05:22 +1100

Rob and Kev at first refused to appear in this episode because they both suspected the other was doing them a favour, but they 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, they revisit "Errand of Mercy" (TOS), "Sins of the Father" (TNG), "Reunion" (TNG), "Redemption" (TNG), and "Redemption II" (TNG), as well as "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".

Kev and Rob steal each other's deltas and end up as mascots on opposing Calica teams. At halftime, they discuss "Vitus Reflux" (SA), before being transported into the shallow pond of other futuristic sports seen throughout Star Trek history: Anbo-jyutsu (TNG), Springball (DS9), Parrises Squares (TNG, VOY, PRO), and Velocity (VOY).

Rob and Kev emerge from regulation appearance arches, ready to fit right in among the first class of cadets to train at Starfleet Academy since the Burn. After taking in their surroundings, they discuss the recent audio drama series, “Star Trek: Khan”, and the premiere episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, “Kids These Days” and “Beta Test”. They then hit the books, studying up on past appearances of the Academy grounds in “The First Duty” (TNG), “Homefront” (DS9), “In the Flesh” (VOY), "Star Trek” (2009), and “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”.

Episode 82: Pure Evil (SNW 3×10 New Life and New Civilizations)

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 17:33:15 +1000

Kev and Rob agree the "log cabin timeline" is a nicer place to live than the rest of the Strange New Worlds season three finale, "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW). On the bright side, perhaps it will be the last time that "pure evil" is used as a plot device for awhile. We can only hope. Taking this last opportunity, they revisit other examples of evil in its purest form: "Skin of Evil" (TNG) and "The Most Toys" (TNG).

Rob and Kev argue over who will cook the worm they found in a hole on the other side of a wormhole, then huddle by the light of a camp stove to discuss "Terrarium" (SNW). While they await their rescue-slash-murder, they compare notes on other instances of crashed enemies finding common ground in "Darmok" (TNG) and "Dawn" (ENT).

Rob and Kevin play cartoon versions of Vulcan versions of themselves with the help of their exes in "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (SNW). They then revisit past episodes where post-relationship relationships figured prominently in the stories of Starfleet officers, including "Haven" (TNG) and "Rejoined" (DS9).

Kevin and Rob dodge oddly insistent questions about what it's like to kill a person in order to discuss the relative merits of "What is Starfleet?" (SNW). Inspired by this episode's "space dragon", they revisit a couple of other giant space creatures of episodes past, in "Datalore" and "Silicon Avatar" (TNG), and "Tin Man" (TNG).

Rob and Kev record their entire conversation about "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (SNW) over copper wires with pink telephone receivers. They then visit two previous uses of "ancient" technology in Trek adventures, "Spectre of the Gun" (TOS) and "Vis à Vis" (VOY).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 22:42:58 +1000

Kev and Rob are possessed by two entirely different manifestations of pure evil and have a knock-down, drag-out fistfight in sickbay over the slightly confusing but gratifyingly adventurous events of "Through the Lens of Time" (SNW). Having regained their senses, they investigate other instances of body possession in "Return to Tomorrow" (TOS), "Power Play" (TNG), and "Tears of the Prophets" (DS9).

Rob and Kev sneak onto a Holodeck that shouldn't be invented for eighty years or so to question characters playing parodies of past podcast hosts you might recognize. Also they talk about "A Space Adventure Hour" (SNW). Inspired by its surprise appearance in this era, they return to holodeck episodes past for a second time, reflecting on "The Big Goodbye" (TNG), "Hollow Pursuits" (TNG), "Fair Haven" (VOY) and "Spirit Folk" (VOY).

After all, there was "Conspiracy" (TNG) and "Empok Nor" (DS9). To shake off the scares, they take a few minutes to discuss Jim Henson's Creature Shop coming to a starship bridge near you.

After sharing highlights from "Hegemony, Part II" and "Wedding Bell Blues", they pull up a stool and talk about their favourite bartenders … one of whom you probably can't guess!

They take the opportunity to discuss moles – what does or does not quality as a mole – and revisit some Deep Space Nine highlights including the abduction and replacement of Julian Bashir, "Homefront" (DS9) and "Paradise Lost" (DS9), and "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" (DS9).

Other big ships they discussed: the Fesarius (TOS), the Narada (Star Trek 2009), the Romulan Warbird (TNG), the Jem'Hadar Battleship (DS9), the Enterprise-J (ENT), the Borg cube (TNG) and the USS Vengeance (Star Trek Into Darkness).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Tue, 07 May 2024 20:39:15 +1000

Rob and Kev switch on the holographic blind on their Breen loading dock to discuss "Mirrors", which turned out not to be quite the contribution to Mirror Universe lore they were expecting. To make up for it, they revisit all the other appearances of the Mirror Universe, including "Mirror, Mirror" (TOS), "Crossover" (DS9), "Through the Looking Glass" (DS9), "Shattered Mirror" (DS9), "Resurrection" (DS9), "The Emperor's New Cloak" (DS9), and "In a Mirror, Darkly, Parts I & II" (ENT). They also briefly reflect (!) on Discovery's sojourn in the Mirror Universe in season one of that show.

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Wed, 01 May 2024 19:55:30 +1000

Kev and Rob are unfazed by the time-travel shenanigans this week in "Face the Strange", accustomed as they are to weaving their way through the history of the Star Trek Universe. Inspired to revisit other times our characters became stuck revisiting other times, they discuss "Time Squared" (TNG), "The Visitor" (DS9), "Timescape" (TNG), and "Shattered" (VOY).

After defeating the cloak-bees of the dimly-lit rock quarries of Trill, Rob and Kev take a stroll down the lane (or a swim up the milky river?) of Trill history, discussing all of the joined Trill that they have encountered in their travels. They discuss "Facets" (DS9), "Rejoined" (DS9) and "The Host" (TNG).

Kev & Rob are back to finally, unbelievably, talk about Star Trek: Discovery for the very first time! The events of "Red Directive" (DIS) see them reflecting on other times starships have "nosed down" into the unforgiving soil of a world, alien or otherwise. They discuss "Star Trek Into Darkness", "Timeless" (VOY), and "Star Trek Generations".

To celebrate our fiftieth episode, we break from our usual format to record an audio commentary for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, arguably the least successful Star Trek film, but not without its charms (and an especially charming Vulcan!).

We'll return with more Subspace Radio when new Trek returns to our screens in April for Star Trek: Discovery's final season. Until then, see you 'round the galaxy!

Kev & Rob approach the infinitely wide, unfathomably tall, impenetrable barrier that is the end of Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season Four, "Old Friends, New Planets". Among the many tangents they explore this episode, they focus in on other barriers in space, including "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (TOS), "The Tholian Web" (TOS), "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG), and "The Galactic Barrier" (DIS).

Rob & Kev fend off their inner demons, take shelter from a patch of knife rain, and watch "The Inner Fight", the penultimate episode of season four of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Inspired by Mariner's ability to unite the clashing aliens trapped on Sherbal V, they discuss other conspicuous occasions of multi-species alliances in Star Trek, including "The Time Trap" (TAS), the Dominion War (DS9), "The Enemy" (TNG), "Allegiance" (TNG), and the production design of sets and locations like the Promenade (DS9).

Kev & Rob back up their truck of gold pressed latinum to Uncle Quark's Youth Casino in "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place", then stay for the haggling at the Museum of Gambling (and the gambling at the Museum of Haggling), and compare their picks for the best Ferengi-centric episode, "Ménage à Troi" (TNG) and "The Magnificent Ferengi" (DS9).

Rob & Kev planned to turn this entire episode over to a friendly computer super-intelligence, but it was down for a software update, so they recorded their thoughts on "In the Cradle of Vexilon" all by themselves. Prompted by the hard lesson learned by Boimler during his first command, they explore other lessons in leadership from Star Treks past, including "The Galileo Seven" (TOS), "Good Shepherd" (VOY), "Pen Pals" (TNG), and "Valiant" (DS9).

Kev & Rob narrowly avoid being merged in a transporter accident, and inspired by "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee", pay a visit to the menagerie of episodes in which humanity is put in a cage, including "The Eye of the Beholder" (TAS), "The Cage" (TOS), and "I, Mudd" (TOS). They also briefly discuss the first of the Very Short Treks, "Skin a Cat", as well as Star Trek Day 2023.

Kev & Rob agree that "Subspace Rhapsody" had its charms, but didn't quite live up to the hype, and that its best moment was a scene without a song at all! Taking the cue of this musical episode, they both agree that "Bride of Chaotica!" (VOY) is the last time going over the top into silliness was the point of an episode, and they talk through its highlights in detail. Finally, as a bonus, Rob re-watched Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and was surprised by how much he enjoyed it!

They talk through this crossover episode that had no business being as good as it was, before seeking out other examples of alien artifacts whose activation (or difficulty in activating) is a key point in an episode, including "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" (DIS) and "The Paradise Syndrome" (TOS).

Rob & Kev squint but fail to spot the USS Farragut in "Lost in Translation", despite its soon-to-be first officer hanging around the Enterprise like he knows he's going to work there someday! After a quick debrief on this week's episode, they consider two other prominent instances of communication difficulties when encountering non-humanoid life: "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", and "Home Soil" (TNG).

Kev & Rob gush at the one-two punch of comedy and heartbreak delivered by "Charades" before breaking down the several different ways in which Vulcans are such jerks, revisiting "The Forge", "Awakening" and "Kir'Shara" (ENT), "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" (DS9), and "Journey to Babel" (TOS).

Rob & Kev nearly lose themselves in their analysis of "Among the Lotus Eaters", before dipping into other instances of our lead characters losing their memories, in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", "The Changeling" (TOS), and "Conundrum" (TNG).

Kev & Rob are surprisingly okay with "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"'s revelations about where exactly in the timeline certain ill-fated experiments took place. In celebration, they explore two other significant rewritings, or retrospective continuity changes (retcons) that Star Trek has indulged in in the past, including "Affliction" and "Divergence" (ENT), and "The Host" (TNG).

Rob & Kev agree to overrule all objections about the trial of Una Chin-Riley in "Ad Astra per Aspera". They then explore the legal precedents for excellent courtroom dramas in Star Trek, including "Judgment" (ENT), "Court Martial" (TOS), "Dax" (DS9), and "The Measure of a Man" (TNG). Finally, they commiserate following the shock announcement that Star Trek: Prodigy has been cancelled prior to the airing of season two on Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 17:44:47 +1000

Kev & Rob celebrate the return of Strange New Worlds by punching a corridor full of Klingons before sitting down to share their thoughts about "The Broken Circle". They then explore other notable examples of crews operating without their Captain (or station Commander, as the case may be!) in "The Tholian Web" (TOS), "Family Business" (DS9), "Little Green Men" (DS9), "Two Days and Two Nights" (ENT), and "The Quickening" (DS9).

Much like "The Last Generation", this Subspace Radio had about 40 minutes of footage cut out of it, and it's *still* a double-length episode! Rob & Kev comb through every morsel of the series finale of Star Trek: Picard, before turning back the clock to other finale episodes of series past, including "All Good Things…" (TNG), "What You Leave Behind" (DS9), "Endgame" (VOY) and "These Are the Voyages…" (ENT).

Rob & Kev sequence the genome of "Võx", the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Picard. Then, agreeing the Changleing plot to re-sequence the DNA of every member of Starfleet was a lot to take in, they set out to trace the twin helix of DNA as a plot point in Star Trek. They discuss "Genesis" (TNG), the Jem'Hadar (DS9), "Threshold" (VOY), and "Vaulting Ambition" (DIS).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Sat, 22 Apr 2023 21:58:27 +1000

Kev & Rob find a lot to talk about in "Surrender", an episode where relatively little happened. Vadic's sudden decision to phaser a member of the bridge crew whose name we hadn't even heard before leads them to contemplate other times background characters made the ultimate sacrifice and made an impression (or didn't) in the process. From Voyager they discuss Hogan ("Basics, Part II"), Pete Durst ("Faces"), and Joe Carey ("Friendship One"). Then they bemoan the wasted opportunity of that was Discovery's Airiam ("Project Daedalus").

Rob & Kev are getting some distinctly cybernetic vibes about Crusher & Picard's son Jack as they contemplate Section 31's worst plan yet in "Dominion". Vadic's commandeering of the Titan prompts them to revisit other times our Starfleet heroes lost control of their ships (and space stations) to the opposition, in "Star Trek: First Contact", "Rascals" (TNG), "Call to Arms" (DS9), and "Basics, Part I & II" (VOY).

Kevin Yank & Rob Lloyd — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 17:01:23 +1000

Kev & Rob both wish that the production of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 could have afforded just one more set this week as a very special Klingon Bird-of-Prey makes its return to the screen in "The Bounty". After watching a small team infiltrate Daystrom Station, they reflect on other times our intrepid crews have sneaked in where they didn't belong, including "Chain Of Command, Part I" (TNG), "By Inferno's Light" (DS9), "Change Of Heart" (DS9), and "Extreme Measures" (DS9).

Rob & Kev come from opposite ends of the spectrum of Ro Laren familiarity, but they both loved Michelle Forbes's return to Star Trek in "Imposters". Rob introduces Kevin to some of Forbes's other roles in "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "True Blood", then Kevin talks through the highlights of Ro's appearances in Star Trek: The Next Generation, including "Ensign Ro", "Preemptive Strike", and "The Next Phase".

Kev & Rob are both dazzled by what may be the best episode of modern Star Trek, "No Win Scenario", and shocked by the return of 21st century expletives to the Star Trek universe. After gushing over every other aspect of this week's episode, they share their very personal perspectives and reactions to swearing in Star Trek, and reflect on its history. Highlights of the trip include "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home", "City on the Edge of Forever" (TOS), "The Last Outpost" and "Elementary, Dear Data" (TNG), and "Star Trek: Generations".

Rob & Kev agree that "Seventeen Seconds" was an episode written specifically for Rob, thanks to its loving embrace of Deep Space Nine as a core contributor to Star Trek history. Speaking of history, they take the opportunity of Worf's return to our screens to reflect on the journey of everyone's favourite son of Mogh. They touch on Redemption (TNG), Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places (DS9), Parallels (TNG), and Tacking Into the Wind (DS9).

They then count down their favourite scenery-chewing villains from Star Trek canon, including Weyoun (DS9), General Chang (ST6), Khan (ST2), and Evil Kirk (TOS: The Enemy Within).
