016 - Movie Night
This week Brandi and Aaron talk about PTSD and trauma in Star Trek: Discovery's "Forget Me Not." Star Trek is at its best when it reflects societal issues and in some prescient storytelling this season of Discovery reflects a lot of the stress and trauma that we've all experienced this year. They also talk about new FanSets pins for November, how handy it would be if you could offload unneeded memories onto a USB drive, and couple names for Philippa Georgiou & Linus!

014 - The Horta is Coming From INSIDE the House!

They also find out what scares you out there in the audience! So lower the lights and grab some candy from the trick-or-treat bowl and settle in for an Infinite Trek Halloween special!

012 - Hand Canon
Bruce Gibson of Positively Trek joins Aaron & Brandi as they talk about "That Hope is You, Part 1."
Aaron has some strong thoughts about The Burn, Brandi has several cry points and Bruce wants to hold a Grudge! As always the podcast is full of spoilers, detours and warping down several rabbit holes--you've been warned!

011 - Spock Helmet is Canon!
Mike McMahan must have the same technology of "The Inner Light" probe because he crammed a 2 hour finale into 25 minutes!
There was so much story we literally couldn’t talk about it all! Dan Gunther of Positively Trek joined us to unpack “No Small Parts” and to discuss the Trek news from New York Comic Con. So join us for one last trip to the Cerritos before we warp ahead a thousand years to Star Trek Discovery next week!

010 - Therapy!
"Crisis Point" is the apple of our eye with its loving salute to the the Star Trek movies. While some easter eggs were low hanging fruit, the obscure ones were the greatest thing since sliced bread! And Mariner's unique take on therapy left us with food for thought long after the show was over. In a nutshell, we loved this episode!

008 - Sparkly Cap’n
We must warn you, listening to Infinite Trek is consent to be surrounded by dark abnormalities—you know, Aaron & Brandi! Our sparkly hosts brave fires, earthquakes, spotty internet to review the Star Trek: Lower Decks episode "Much Ado about Boimler." Deep cuts abound which of course sends our hosts off on many a tangent, like a genetically altered dog running across a ceiling, but they manage to find their way back and report on some Trek news of the week along the way!

004 - Chancellor Behooves
On this week’s show Brandi and Aa—hang on, we’ve just been sent a message..."Effective immediately the Infinite Trek podcasting deceit will no longer be tolerated. The show must be logged and edited exactly in the time mandated by Dan and Bill?!" There goes buffer time!
If you hadn’t guessed we’re reviewing Lower Decks' 3rd episode "Temporal Edict" an episode that is surprisingly not about time travel. We of course dive into the Easter eggs, deep cuts and call backs of the episode, but we also talk about how the story in this episode is at one time topical and totally Star Trek but also unique to this show.

003 - Groin Plumage
Just how many Easter eggs, deep cuts and call backs can one pack into a 25 minute Star Trek episode? A lot! A LOT a lot!
This week we tackle Star Trek: Lower Decks' second episode "Envoys" which has a bevy of alien races from the TNG era Klingons, to the original animated series shape shifters to alien centaurs that were just out of focus blobs in the Federation council scene from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
But it's not all eye candy, there's a true Star Trek story at the heart of all the fan service. We also discuss the causal racism Starfleet officers seem to have towards the Ferengi. And we ask our audience "What would your cybernetic implant do, and which species created it?"
So join was as we slowly slip into ASMR while quoting the Wrath of Khan. "Buried alive….buried alive!"

002 - Lieutenant Flipper
This week we are joined by Bill Smith of the Trek Geeks Podcast Network to review the first episode of the new animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks! Focusing on the crew of the USS Cerritos, one of Starfleet's least important ships, Lower Decks follows a band of lowly ensigns as they navigate being traditional bridge crew and senior staff.
Aaron and Bill talk about attending the online virtual premiere and we unbox that crazy swag box!
Diving in, we discuss how the characters interact with each other and the senior staff and how the show is off to a fresh start, while still honoring what's come before with a bevy of Easter eggs! So many Easter eggs!
So, grab your Romulan Whiskey, park yourself at a table in front of Cetacean Ops and enjoy the show!
