Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast

Jack loads up Skype, and the enigmatic and inscrutable Sean and Sam emerge from the mist, flashing a complex series of lights and spraying him with hydrocarbons. Classic. Using math, and Chingy lyrics, Jack was able to translate these into audio signals and a podcast, and found out they were just talking about Species 10-C. There are orbs in that hyperfield!

Jaxilly is bouncing back to Picard again, and Picardigans Barm and Kevin Young are here for the wild ride as Picard and crew find themselves trapped in a world they never made! Thrill to what is now in retrospect the peak of excitement for Picard Season 2 as the boys talk joys, specifically of digital cats, Alison Pill monologues, Borg Queen Questions, Okinawa boners, Harveys, and of course, SKULLS, SKULLS, SKULLS! Engage!

Screaming!

PICARD is back, and so is the PD Crew to talk about it/him.  (PD Crew is Barm plus Reopening the Wormhole).  They get right into this weirdness by mourning Zhaban, celebrating Sexy Irish Romulans, analyzing El-Aurian aging, pinning down Starfleet academy chronology, remembering Inception, and embracing Spanish technobabble.  Never forget, Picard’s a ROBOT.  

Jaxilly is breaking down barriers with the help of Discovery holdouts Sam and Sean again (Jack’s saviors)! Like our intrepid heroes on Discovery, the boys jump from topic to topic to get to the end of the episode. Notables include taking an immediate liking to this Hirai fellow, celebrating the return of Cronenberg, cringing at the increasingly uncomfortable relationship between Stamets and Adira, Picard Prognosticatin’, Tarka Talk, the intersection of science and Final Fantasy, the joys of talking like Saru, a truly EPIC rant, and FENNEC. FUCKING. SHAND.  Cross the barrier to FUN.

The Rios Bros. are crossin’ the Rubicon to talk about Rubicon, apparently the 100th episode of the current age of Trek! To celebrate this momentous occasion, the boys start off by not knowing or recognizing this fact, delve into Crystal Tokyo, celebrate Nhan’s return, count their Soongs, compare the character impressions, rally around a surprise winner, deliver their spot-on Sean Davis impersonations, and are unable to determine what the next episode is! Here’s to another hundred!

Discovery is back, yay…? And so are Sean Davis (After the Credits) and Richard Dunham (Ghibli/Akira Minute), joining Jack to bask in the simple pleasures of Haz Mazaro, his many silly similes, and his unique KARMA BARGE. We’re also talkin’ Tarka, Oh Wow Owosekun, and the Federation’s fantastic planning skills.  Plus, we close The Book on Boba Fett. It’s more fun than a containment unit of Tarkalian simians!

JAXILLY is back, and so is brother from another mother Barm, and brother of Ryan, Sean, to talk about the ninth episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk about Zero going HAM, the impending (at the time) return of Discovery, what the least funny MCU movie is, original recipe Janeway and so much more.  There’s a terrible tragedy which befalls Sean in this episode!

JAXILLY is back, and so is brother from another mother Barm, and brother from another podcast, Kevin, to talk about the eighth  episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk paint-by-numbers kits, dish on video games , rank Kurtwood Smith’s Star Trek characters, appreciate the best pause music ever, and much more.  There’s casual fun in this podcast!

JAXILLY is back, and so is brother from another mother Sean, and brother from the same mother, Sam to talk about the seventh episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk about complex temporal mechanics never before seen in Trek, sine waves, 007 for some reason, video games, and so much more!  There’s temporal displacement in that podcast!

JAXILLY is back, and so is Ferengi brother Kregg Castillo to PROFIT from the sixth episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk about having a great Ferengi back again, struggle to remember the treasure-hoarding kooky character from their childhoods, hear again about Jack’s hyper-specific lighting preferences, engage in advertently time Barry talk, and get back into Rules of Acquisition! There’s GREED in that nebula!

JAXILLY Prodigy Talk is back, and so is ape brother Geoff Clarke to dive DEEP into the fifth episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk about names with wood, the joys of Japanese Seinfeld, bullying, the 2nd Episode of Boba Fett AGAIN, and, oh, yes, the four classic Trek characters appearing in the ep. They also assemble their own four-person Trek crews. There’re Trek characters in that holodeck!

Like the one with the whales, it’s the conclusion of the Sam, Sean and Jack spend around four hours phasering the shit trilogy that just kind of happened this season as they close out the weird artificial “mid-season finale” of Disco.  Sean gets his wish, as Stamets and David Cronenberg get into it over AI. Meanwhile, your boys are getting into it over Tarka, timespace and free will, Marvel comics, Boba Fett and so much more.  It’s as explosive as an isolytic weapon!

In this episode of Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks, Picard, Lower Decks & Prodigy Podcast, the first in nearly a month, Sam Stovold and Sean Davis join Jack to offer their timely opinions on Stormy Weather, the sixth episode of Season 4 of Discovery (which ended three weeks ago) and the premiere of The Book of Boba Fett (which ended two months ago).  Enjoy.

Sean Davis and Sam are BACK to talk about The Examples, in this brave new Tilly-free world. But when T’Kuvma writes out a Tilly, he writes in a TARKA. Join us as we dish on this mysterious new asshole, offer up some cool theories, ask the BIG Cronenberg Questions, do some extremely topical Hawkeye talk (Talkeye?), discuss our own names and finish off with an in-depth discussion of the Koopalings!  Replicate some mashed DMA potatoes, throw on some Johnny Cash quietly in the background and prepare for FUN.

  Jack and Sean (After the Credits) get together to talk about Tilly’s last hurrah! They’re also talkin’ Final Fantasy plottin’, racism, BSG, how this episode is weirdly reminiscent of Revenge of the Sith, whether director John Ottman is the same guy who scored  X2, international Pepsi sales, and so much more.  They then celebrate Tilly the only way they know how: through a long drunken discussion of the intersection of linguistics, human perception, cognition, time-space, and religion. Godspeed, Tilly!

Jack chooses to podcast with Barm, Sean Davis (After the Credits) and his Akira Minute cohost, Richard Dunham! They’re talkin’ about shit, like Yoda, Chingy’s love, Tilly’s teeth, the Jabronians, Micheal’s mom, nunjas, and so much more.  Choose to live by choosing to listen!

"Anomaly" is the 54th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the second episode of the third season. The episode was written by co-producer Mike Sussman and directed by David Straiton, his fifth for the show.  Set in the 22nd century, the series follows the adventures of the first Starfleet starship Enterprise, registration NX-01. Season three of Enterprise features an ongoing story following an attack on Earth by previously unknown aliens called the Xindi. In this episode, the Enterprise is attacked by an Osaarian vessel, and in pursuit they discover that the aliens have information on the Xindi which they must retrieve to help them on their mission.

Disco Season 4 coverage finally begins, and in the best way possible!  With another round of the Jack stupidly lost his audio game. Fortunately, it’s Sam to the rescue as he and Jack hop back in to record new audio to awkwardly mesh with Sean and Barm (and a certain hop-on)’s audio, making this episode simultaneously a discussion and a reaction, two months old and also a week old, nonsensical and yet penetrating. An overly complicated but fitfully intriguing mess; truly worthy of  the name Discovery! We’re back!

JAXILLY is back in 2022, and so is ape brother Geoff Clarke to dive DEEP into the fourth episode of this CGI children’s show!  And you know what, hey, it ain’t too bad. Join them as they talk about shitty Steven Segal novels, the joys of Japanese Seinfeld, CGI vines and so much more!  WARNING: Due to Jack being a bonehead, half of his audio is gone. In an audacious experiment, he attempts to record new audio to match the Geoff recording. The sheer fucking HUBRIS. There are apes in that nebula!
