TreksplorationGold-pressed Latinum Cab! https://www.patreon.com/Treksploration Gold-pressed Latinum Cab!Ah, a most profitable venture in the realm of entertainment! This video contains an impromptu Star Trek trivia challenge, a most valuable test of knowledge, conducted while engaging in that primitive but necessary form of transport—driving!

With over seventy questions—yes, seventy!—this is a veritable goldmine of intellectual currency! And let us not forget the delightful tangents and side discussions, which, like a...2025-03-1959 min

TreksplorationProdigy S1 E01 & E02 Lost and Found Chris, Albie, and John Irons are back at it, tackling Star Trek: Prodigy with their usual mix of insight and irreverence. They break down the animation style, recap the first two episodes, and share their hot takes—because, of course, they have opinions.

TreksplorationStar Trek Strange New Worlds startrek #strangenewworlds #podcast Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about SNW S1 E1 “Strange New Worlds.” The premiere episode of Strange New Worlds gives Familiar Old Trek some intriguing new twists, as we see the old/new crew of the old/new Enterprise embark on TOS prequel adventures that finally give Captain Pike his due in Trek canon.

On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 7 “Fully Dilated.” This episode is a wonderful take on time travel, and the nature and value of friendship in building a meaningful existence, all wrapped up in a nostalgic Trek bow with the return of a beloved TNG character.

Albie and Christopher, the ultimate Trekkies, boldly go where many have gone before – into the depths of Star Trek fandom. These guys dissect everything from Ollie’s electrifying adventures in Lower Decks 506: “Of Gods and Angles” (someone get that one a surge protector!) to the profound mysteries of time travel and holiday cheer.

On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 5 “Star Base 80?!” Plunge with us into the midseason lunacy of Lower Decks! Don’t worry, we’ll keep you safe and well fed. Albie has corndogs, a wetsuit, and serious beardy Boimler energy. And Chris sort of asks the question, “What does a starship need with a whale?” only in a more roundabout way because the Star Trek V analogy just occurred to him as he was typing these show notes and he wants to make sure everyone knows how subconsc...2024-11-221h 18

TreksplorationLDS 5×04 A Farewell To Farms Welcome aboard Treksplorers! On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 4 “A Farewell to Farms.” Albie’s pogonophobia is put to the test in this surprisingly broad and deceptively deep episode about a day in the life on Qou’noS. Even Chris enjoys himself, and he’s mostly a petaQ when it comes to Lower Decks. Come to get you King-on, and stay to hear Chris tell a heart-probing tale, while Albie reveals the magic behind an iconic sci-fi movie scene.

On this episode of Treksploration, Albie and Chris talk about LDS S5 Episode 3 “The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel.” Well, “talk about” may be too strong a claim. We “talk…” “…about” things, but this outing of Lower Decks is not chief among them.
