By popular demand, we are starting an episode-by-episode look at the first season of #StarTrekDiscovery. We begin with "The Vulcan Hello" and "The Battle at the Binary Stars", an opening which feels more like the series finale of a different Star Trek. antimatterpod.com/229-stupid-s...

New episode is up! We watch #StarTrekVoyager episode "Real Life" and ask: is this just two B plots in search of an A plot? Also, we are BIG MAD over the cancellation of Starfleet Academy! antimatterpod.com/228-doctorvi...
New episode is out! We're discussing the first season finale of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy! Some men will become interstellar gangsters and threaten the entire Federation rather than go to therapy, and you know? It's 2026, so sure, that makes sense. antimatterpod.com/moving-at-th...
New ep is up! We look at #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy's "300th Night", featuring some great performances, problematic set design and a wig from the Orphan Black reject pile. antimatterpod.com/226-away-tea...
#StarTrekStarfleetAcademy got us RIGHT in the feels. We discuss "The Life of the Stars", Our Town, resilience, agency and whether or not the Doctor needs a kick in the shins. antimatterpod.com/225-the-libe...
Hey, wasn't our wedding season over? But here comes #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy to add one more to the mix! We're talking "Ko'Zeine" - Star Trek wedding clichés, toxic perfectionism and freeing Darem to be his truest self (an asshole). antimatterpod.com/224-queen-of...
“Come, Let's Away" and discuss the latest episode of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy with Anika and Liz! Is it a bad sign when your fun Star Trek for teens references Grave of the Fireflies? Will Nus Braka EVER stop talking? Is it unfair to compare Admiral Vance to Chuck Schumer?

New episode is up! We talk about #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy's "Series Acclimation Mil", and ask the big questions: is there such a thing as too much fan service? What's the legal drinking age in the Federation? Are we due for a DS9 rewatch? antimatterpod.com/222-tumblr-s...
JayDar is real. #StarfleetAcademy
New ep is up! We're talking #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy's "Vox In Excelso" - queer allegories! Climate refugee allegories! Liz's secret past as a debate kid! antimatterpod.com/221-starflee...
New Antimatter Pod! We're discussing the #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy episode "Vitus Reflux" - it's a prank war, it's a sports rivalry, it's a heist ... but is it Star Trek? It sure is! In conclusion: KYLE. antimatterpod.com/220-take-me-...

We wrap up our miniseries on Star Trek Weddings with the very worst of the lot -- T'Pol's wedding to Koss. But on the upside, Trip wears a Henley, and we are looking RESPECTFULLY. Also Archer climbs a rock. antimatterpod.com/218-florida-...
The wedding series marches on with the marriage of Worf and Dax - and we do have to ask, are ANY women in Star Trek allowed to get married without running a gauntlet of patriarchy? antimatterpod.com/217-dad-hard...
