#267: Q-Strike (TNG #49)

In today’s episode, the Faal family comes down with a nasty case of silver eye, and Zero breaks out of galactic confinement as Q’s PowerPoint finally reaches its last slide. But it will take a blast of minty fresh breath to counter Zero’s hot air. Why is Picard so slow on the uptake? What kind of damage can writing too much Q do to your prose? And has my teaching career coincidentally prepared me for this moment? All this and more in Q-Strike, the book that’s on its way to get some head.

#266: Q-Zone (TNG #48)

In today’s episode, Riker realizes the only way to get the Calamarain off his back might be a little cloud-on-cloud action. Meanwhile, Picard continues to squirm in his front-row seat to Q’s early struggles with peer pressure. Is Q wearing a Starfleet uniform stolen valor? What does civilian parlance reveal about their attitudes about various races? And what are the contents of a soiled Q diaper? All this and more in Q-Zone, the book that doesn’t know “The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog”, but if you hum a few bars…

#265: Q-Space (TNG #47)

In today’s episode, Picard won’t call off an experiment at the galactic barrier just because Q says he should. But when Q yoinks Picard off the Enterprise to show him some home movies, the rest of the crew has to figure out how to make the clouds stop raining on their parade. Why are most tactical officers so trigger-happy? What guises has Q hung out on Earth in? And what did Guinan do to make Q’s wife big-mad? All this and more in Q-Space, the book that’s made possible in part by Viewers Like You. Thank you.

#249: Assignment: Eternity (TOS #84)

In today’s episode, a Tal Shiar operative decides the ending of Star Trek VI needs a rewrite. But she paid so much attention to the movies that she doesn’t recognize an obscure episode of the TV show swooping in to thwart her plans. Should pets have human names? Which senior officer needs cyber-security training most badly? And what’s the best way for a hapless human to acclimate to time travel? All this and more in Assignment: Eternity, or, Call Me Ishmael Junior.

#223: The Black Shore (VOY #13)

CW: one mention of rape (but it’s buried in a footnote, so you don’t have to look at it)

In today’s episode, a well-timed pop-up ad makes Janeway think it might be time for shore leave. But their hosts’ culture and behavior raise a lot of questions with some shocking answers. What do Chakotay and Kes’s visions mean? What happens if you insult Janeway’s dog? And why are musicians still using wooden reeds in the 24th century? All this and more in The Black Shore, the book that features some hair-raising cuisine.
