The Joy of Trek

Listen for free

Two lifelong besties (and their trusty engineer) adventure through the vast constellations of Star Trek's decades on TV, especially the lesser-loved stories. But instead of bitching about why they’re bad, we’re going to find the joy in each of them, because everybody loves the great episodes, but it takes dedication, insight, and hard-working fools to love the clunkers too. And by Jove, we are those fools! Positive, inclusive and optimistic (though not uncritical!) we try to find the brilliance even in the least-loved episodes of our favorite TV shows!Copyright 2025 Kay, Khaki and Greg Art Science Fiction

    Masks (TNG S7 E17)
    Jul 22 2025

    Masks (Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), S7 E17) was recommended by He/him, who said: Although many find the episodes "incomprehensible" or "incoherent," I find it a joy.

    First, Brent Spiner gets to really through himself into an array of personality types. He gets to show off his acting chops in ways that he rarely gets to, and almost never gets to on Star Trek.

    Second, I truly enjoy this quick peek at a mythology where we can recognize all the parts as familiar to Earth mythologies, but they fit together in ways that we don't normally see. We get to follow Picard into seeing how he, as an archology student himself, would piece together that mythology from just the few pieces given to him.

    Masks first aired on February 21, 1994, written by Joe Menosky, and directed by Robert Wiemer

    The Enterprise finds an ancient library that recreates its civilization by taking possession of Data and transforming the ship.

I started listening awhile back to their podcast and was hooked on their banter and personalities instantly. I looked forward more to them, than the shows. I'm an addict now
