Ep 211: Best Knuck in New Star Trek (Picard S3E3)

Episode 211

3rd March 2023

When Captain Shaw falls on a girder and throws Riker the Captain’s keys, season 3 tries to conjure a Crimson Tide moment between hiding from Vadic or fighting the Shrike. But when the A and B stories both discover a new enemy hiding under the surface, sabotage on the Titan sends it sinking toward crush depth.

Episode notes

When Captain Shaw falls on a girder and throws Riker the Captain’s keys, season 3 tries to conjure a Crimson Tide moment between hiding from Vadic or fighting the Shrike. But when the A and B stories both discover a new enemy hiding under the surface, sabotage on the Titan sends it sinking toward crush depth. What’s the mind-reading deal between Riker and Troi? Who is in the running for Starfleet’s best Captain? Did David Cronenberg consult on Picard? It’s the episode that’s missing a canonical koala!

About the show

The unofficial, irreverent and filthy aftershow for all the new Star Trek television: Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Short Treks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds, and anything else they throw at us. Each Friday after a new episode of Star Trek, Adam and Ben recap, review and roast all the New Trek. Check out our other show, The Greatest Generation, a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast!
