Wait... Where's Spock?
by Amaya and Matia
Space... the final frontier...Nope! Turns out, for Amaya, that "Star Trek: The Original Series" was the final frontier.Thankfully, her father, Mat, is here to change that. Over the next few millennia, Amaya and Mat are going to watch - and podcast their thoughts on - every single episode of Star Trek after TOS, starting with "Star Trek: The Next Generation".Will she find a new love in Data? Can he endure Wesley one more time? And wait...where's Spock?...

Episode 3.11: The Hunted
This week, Amaia and Mat search for the meaning of life...errr...no, wait...I mean a reason to live...after watching this week's episode - KIDDING! It's not THAT bad...it's not ALL that bad. Though it is extremely hard not to stop yourself repeatedly blinking whenever the main guest star is on...
-
Episode 3.10: The Defector
Amaia and Mat are BACK with a BANG for 2026 - and that bang is Romulan-shaped and pretty bang-y. We get well-tailored outfits, we get political thrills, we get water at exactly 12 onikans - baby!...we get the LOT! We also, unfortunately - for us, anyway - Shakespeare (maybe we would've preferred...
-
Episode 3.09: The Vengeance Factor
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat make quite a lot out of not much at all really, and in doing so realise that they actually enjoyed talking about this episode more than watching it...except for Lisa Wilcox...she's TOTALLY a nailed on chance of making the best guest stars shortlist and we're...
-
Episode 3.08: The Price
This week, Amaya and Mat recoil in disgust as Star Trek gets its Tarantino-esque FREAK on, via Troi's oiled-up feet!!! And that's just the cherry on top of a generally creepy sexed-up episode - though that doesn't take away from some actually decent diplomatic negotiation action, and a handful of...
-
Episode 3.07: The Enemy
This week, Amaya and Mat - well, Hell! They have a hoot in the season's best episode, with easily the coldest Worf moment we've ever had, and an absolute masterpiece in redemption from Geordi after last week's horror show. No jokes. That is all. Enjoy!
-
Episode 3.06: Booby Trap
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat experience the joys of holodeck beach dating and 4D chess against the background of the remains of a long-dead civilisation...only for it all to come crashing down in a steaming heap of beep-bop technobabble and creepy AI making out. God bless you, Lieutenant...
-
Episode 3.05: The Bonding
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat explore Star Trek bondage fan-fic....errr....no sorry! Wrong episode! Bonding! That's it. And they also set a new record for diverging from the actual episode! This one, though, has got the lot: Wes bringing it; Picard bringing it; Troi bringing it...in a bad...
-
Episode 3.04: Who Watches the Watchers
This week, Amaya and Mat journey into the Prime Directive with one simple mission: for God's sake, try and stop Mat talking SO much about nothing in order to keep the episode under 2 hours...unfortunately, here in the present we know their mission failed. BUT...we get a bit of everything: Buffy…

Episode 3.03: The Survivors
This week, it's all location, location, location, as Amaia and Mat visit the set of that classic late 70's British post-apoc TV series, Survivors - they WISH (well...Mat wishes). Nope, its a mystery episode, with genocide, aliens, space battles, and BONUS Troi-trauma (Marina Sirtis gets to emote...
-
Episode 3.02: The Ensigns of Command
On this week's episode, Mat forgets to set up his microphone properly, and so the quality of his audio - not just his commentary - is very poor, AND...he's recovering from an extended sickness, so he sounds like death barely warmed up. So it's up to Amaia to hold it all up, with searing critical...
-
Episode 3.01: Evolution
WE'RE BACK for the opening episode of Season 3, and we're here for the new adolescent acne and the new haircuts and the new two-piece uniforms. And, of course, we don't shy away from the big questions: like, what does the first episode of the season augur, and will Wes ever get a date? Tune in…
more -
Season 2 in Review - PLUS AWARDS!
In the final episode of the season, Amaya and Mat wrap up with an overall review of Season 2 - the best bits, the not-so-best bits, the Suzie Plakson bits - our thoughts about Season 3 and what needs to change (hint: MORE Wesley!), AND we have the introduction of the inaugural "Wesley Jumper...
-
Episode 2.22: Shades of Grey
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat go AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!...as they scream into the clip episode void. I mean...what can possibly be said...it isn't good. But their breakdown is so tune in and watch two vaguely adult humans collapse under the…
more -
Episode 2.21: Peak Performance
This week, Amaya and Mat discuss Glenn Morshower...Glenn WHO? I hear you ask. Well, he's only the very lynchpin of the episode, the pivot point around which everything turns, the controlling idea at the heart of this beating story...and he has 7 lines! GENIUS! We also discuss the actual episode…
more -
Episode 2.20: The Emissary
On this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover TRUE LOVE, in the form of a 187cm, half-Klingon, half-Human, ex-love interest of Lieutenant Worf, absolute STUNNER (and I do mean STUN HER)...K'Ehleyr. And, honestly, no words do her justice - perhaps not even this podcast episode...but listen to it...
-
Episode 2.19: Manhunt
This week, Amaya and Mat's joy at the return of Lwaxana is quickly extinguished by the bin fire that is this episode. Still, there Lwaxana, and Lwaxana's dresses, and Lwaxana's saucy asides, and Worf gets some absolutes crackers, and Wes is here...and...and...look, it's a struggle - but, in GREAT...
-
Episode 2.18: Up the Long Ladder
This week, Amaya and Mat meet a new Star Trek race, the 'Space Irish', find Riker being a total 'Space Harlot', and learn that Worf and Pulaski are becoming 'Space Buddies' - but hopefully nothing more! In one of the most wide-ranging episodes to date, they manage to alienate several cultural...
-
Episode 2.17: Samaritan Snare
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover PURE JOY in the unexpected form of a Picard and Wes team-up, Worf proves again why he's the smartest member of the 'Enterprise' crew, and we say goodbye to a character that found a special place in our hearts...well, Mat's heart...well, not really…
more -
Episode 2.16: Q-Who?
In this week's episode, Amaya gets uncomfortable with Mat's creepy declarations of love for a guest character, they both get creeped out by the Borg, but in the end, they agree that Whoopi Goldberg is something of a hottie. So, lots of objectification in this one for you, but BEST OF ALL, some...
-
Episode 2.15: Pen Pals
This week, Amaya and Mat get all hepped up...because WESLEY'S BACK! It's a Wesley episode...or is it? No one seems sure whose episode this one is, but they are sure of one thing: the Prime Directive!...oh wait! Maybe they're not so sure about that. Well, there's one thing we can all agree on, and...
-
Episode 2.14: The Icarus Factor
This episode, Amaya and Mat...know kung-fu...or, specifically, Anbo-jitsu - the greatest martial art EVER...according to Riker's dad, Kyle! Kyle? Can you believe that?! So weird. Riker has this old man's name, and his dad has this young dude's name. So strange! Oh! Right, yeah, well anyway, we…
more -
Episode 2.13: Time Squard
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover so many new things: Riker's love of cooking; Data's ability to be reticent, and; Picard's murderous desire to destroy the hidden part of his id...preferably with a phaser...and if possible in Shuttle Bay 2. We also learn a lot about the sick…
more -
Episode 2.12: The Royale
This week, Amaya and Mat BREAK THE RECORDING...well, mostly Amaya...Mat was fairly innocent of any wrongdoing...Anyway, a slightly truncated episode, but we address all the important stuff, like: why do Riker, Worf, and Data always get all the fun; and what exactly *is* the story with Troi's...
-
Episode 2.11: Contagion
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat channel their inner 'Sound of Music' love into a podcast about ST: TNG and sing "How Do You Solve a Problem Like The Romulans?", while tossing up whether Data is just a deus ex machina - perhaps having usurped Wesley's role - as well as deciding is Geordi, in...
-
Episode 2.10: The Dauphin
This week, Amaya and Mat learn all about first love, chocolate mousse, Klingon mating rituals, and make the shocking discovery that Wesley Crusher might in fact be...a complete moron! Noooooooo! On the bright side there's Worf getting pervy, as well as Riker and Guinan's "get a room already"…
more -
Episode 2.09: The Measure of a Man
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat discover they've watched completely different episodes - sort of! Talk about CONTROVERSY!!! Two WILDLY different responses to a Data-centric episode that should have had them united in their dislike of the android. Instead, they're now dead to one another!…
more -
Episode 2.08: A Matter of Honor
This week, Amaya and Mat try to ignore the fact that Americans can't spell 'Honour' properly, and instead focus on the fact that they've arrived at the best episode of the season so far! In this Riker-tastic Klingon-fest, we get action, we get suspense, we get weird Klingon sex stuff, AND......
-
Episode 2.07: Unnatural Selection
Better late than never (right?...), in this week's episode, Amaya and Mat make sure the wait was worth it! We get arguably one of the best scripts we've had to date, we get Mile O'Brien, we get BIG money-on-screen sets, we get actual pathos and character development, we get more Miles O'Brien,...
-
Episode 2.06: The Schizoid Man
This week, Amaya and Mat meet the greatest human mind in the universe...who might also be the dumbest! We also have the long-awaited return of our most popular segment, "Please Fix My Episode", where Amaya rips it all up and puts it back together, while Mat writes fan mail to Paramount Studios...
-
Episode 2.05: Loud as a Whisper
This week, Amaya and Mat may have just struck "Next Gen" Season 2 GOLD: sensitive treatment of disability - CHECK; genuinely interesting ideas - CHECK; true human moments - CHECK; Data doesn't piss us off - CHECK...I mean, what could possibly go wrong? Well, something may have...but you'll have…
more -
Episode 2.04: The Outrageous Okona
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat learn want a joke isn't, and what a jerk is...or isn't. In possibly the most oddly structured episodes this season, Billy "The Rocketeer/Clint Webber from "Frasier" Campbell, Teri "Lois and Clark/Desperate Housewives" Hatcher, and some unsupportive supporting...
-
Episode 2.03: Elementary, Dear Data
This week, Amaya and Mat travel back to 19th-century London to discover there's something they hate more than Data...and that's Pulaski! Naaah! She's alright, and so is this episode, until it takes a strange and unforgivable narrative turn for the worse! Still, Holmes and Watson, the Holodeck…
more -
Episode 2.02: Where Silence Has Lease
In this episode, Amaya and Mat discover that there's arguably something worse than just a bad episode of 'Next Gen': and that is what might be THE most boring episode of the series yet! My God! "Shoot me!" - but not in a 'Arrested Development'/Uncle Jack sense. Just a staright bullet to the…
more -
Episode 2.01: The Child
Amaya and Mat are BACK!...for Season 2 of ST: TNG, and this week they learn all about un-planned parenthood, luxuriate in Riker's new beard, hang out in the spiffy new bar with the spiff new cast member, and go on maybe the least relevant tangent to date as the discuss the comedy stylings of…
more -
Season One: Re-Rank
In the final episode for this season of "Wait!...where's Spock?", Amaya and Mat look back, misty-eyed - mostly due to having watched too much tv - and re-score all of season one's episodes...particularly the ones we didn't score in the first place. And stay through to the end for the first moment...
-
Episode 27: The Neutral Zone
This week, Amaya and Mat explore Mat's romantic life, also known as the Completely In Neutral Zone and...wait...no! Sorry! Different show. In this week's episode they finally come face-to-face with this series' overarching nemesis...writers' strikes (UNION PROUD!) Also, there's 80's cryogenics...
-
Episode 26: Conspiracy
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat uncover..."Conspiracy", Next Gen's "The Thing" tribute, with enough gore and body horror to leave John Carpenter whimpering in a corner of the room. Along with all the viscera comes a great idea, a really solid script, all of which contributes to what is...
-
Episode 25: We'll Always Have Paris
This week, Amaya (and now you) has to put up with Mat doing his dodgy Patrick Stewart impersonation, which is really a dodgy Ian McKellan impersonation from "Lord of the Rings). We also get to see LOTS of Datas (as well as some excellent stuntman tumbling action), creepy Crusher action, and the...
-
Episode 24: Skin of Evil
This week, Amaya and Mat experience great loss...for Mat, mostly the hour lost watching this episode! But seriously, it's a great case of the parts being better than the sum of the total, but also a time of learning, and they both discover that they love...David Cronenberg's "The Fly"...and…
more -
Episode 23: Symbiosis
In this week's episode, Amaya and May learn to say "No!...to drugs"...and a HARD no to dodgy PSA announcements masquerading as drama. Seriously though, turns out "Symbiosis" is some good s**t, man, and if you want some meet us 'round the corner for a fix of solidly written drama and great...
-
Episode 22: Arsenal of Freedom
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat learn that a Death Sphere isn't always what it claims to be...like a sphere, for instance...that Crusher and Picard really just need to get a room, and that maybe this episode is "the best" of Season One...oh! And apologies for more 'Buffy' chat and...
-
Episode 21: Heart of Glory
"Maj po" this week from Amaya and Mat, who say "tlhIngan maH" in order that we have "qapla"! Yes, it's our first Klingon episode of the season (and the series), and while Amaya's love of Worf continues to grow, Mat almost spoils - close to 40 years on - the TV mini-series "V" - that's right! It's...
-
Episode 20: Coming of Age
This week, Amaya and Mat learn the meaning of self-understanding...as well as just how high Riker can throw his leg over a chair and thrust his crotch at someone! There's also young love, daring rescue, and 'sweet as' Starfleet after-hours fashion, in what amounts to a solid episode...but not...
-
Episode 19: Home Soil
This week, Amaya and Mat explore the universe's BIG questions: what actually constitutes *real* life, and; what the Hell was the secret name of this podcast for the last eighteen episodes?! They also find time for some of your two favourite segments: Amaya's Phasers on Fashion and Mat's Minute of...
-
Episode 18: When the Bough Breaks
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat pretty much forget everyone's name, confusing characters with actors, then spend quite a bit of time dissecting the social constructs of the High School Musical-verse - but don't worry: they do end up rating episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...and…
more -
Episode 17: Too Short a Season
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat debate whether Mat is just a young man wearing a lot of prosthetics to appear much older, and, in fact, is not even her father! We also talk about this episode of ST: TNG which, coincidentally, also features unconvincing prosthetics and a storyline that can't...
-
Episode 16: 11001001
On this week's episode, Riker gets his weird on, Mat gets even weirder about Riker's weirdness, then Picard seems to want to join in, and Amaya has to put up with the lot. There's a lot to discuss here, including the possibility that this might be the best episode yet for Season One, and the fact...
-
Episode 15: Angel One
This week, Amaya and Mat visit a planet ruled by a matriarchy, in an episode written by a man seemingly with an anti-matriarchal agenda - SHOCK! Stop the presses! Man scared of women! But seriously, there's just a whole lot of confusion going on here, but not without some redeeming…
more -
Episode 14: Datalore
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat have to deal with TWO Datas...Day-tahs...Dar-tahs...Day-tahs - WHATEVER! There are two of them...sort of...and it turns out they kind of like both of them. Yup, Brent Spiner is acting up a storm, Wesley is being a "little b*tch" (according to Amaya), and Mat...
-
Episode 13: The Big Goodbye
In this week's episode, Amaya and Mat learn that Picard does have a sense of humour, that Data CAN be funny, but most of all...that Beverly Crusher is the real QUEEN of COMEDY on ST: TNG. And, like Martin Sheen travelling upriver to kill Marlon Brando in "Apocalypse Now", we travel deep, deep…
