Buckle up, nerds, because this week’s episode brings together two of our favourite things: 1. Star Trek and 2. a cozy murder mystery!...

So, chances are, you have a hazy memory of a Star Trek episode that takes place in a mental hospital of some kind. Like us, you probably mad...

So this week’s episode would best be described as Taming of the Shrew, But in Space, but with the caveat that in no universe would any...

So really, this episode makes a lot more sense if you think of it as the first bad fic you ever wrote for your favourite TV show. The Empath...

This week, Kirk gets kidnapped by an alien queen to become part of her man-harem. No, literally. And we love her. It starts as all bad days...

So fair warning on two counts: this episode contains multiple instances of various kinds of assault, humiliation, and other hella disturbing...

This week’s episode really, really wanted to be a ghost story. It almost manages it – Kirk, rather than saving the day, spends m...

Season 3 of TOS is a strange, unpredictable beast, in that there are utterly bananas episodes that make no sense and are exhaustingly bad, l...

So just to get this out of the way before we start: oh god, later Klingons are so much better than TOS-era Klingons. Not just in terms of, y...

Do you enjoy bizarre sci-fi-esque westerns like Wild Wild West and Westworld ? Alternately, have you been doing a lot of drugs? Then this ep...

Welcome to season 3 of both TOS and Not So Much The Neutral Zone! Can you believe we’ve been doing this for this long?? Neither can we...

In the Original Series season 2 finale, we find ourselves, inexplicably, in 1968. Inexplicably because it contradicts everything we’ve...

Apparently no one at 1960s Desilu was listening to me, because this week’s episode involves yet another goddamn parallel Earth. And no...

Now, I’m sure this will come as no surprise to you, the habitual sci-fi consumer, but here’s a pro tip: when you give a New, Ama...

You know it’s a bad week when “starship crew reduced to little piles of salt” is the high point of the episode. Okay, here...

So with guest-host Trisha joining us this week, the NSMTNZ crew is 50/50 on loving this episode and finding the Kelvins some of most genuine...

Good news: this is our 50th Episode! Holy crap! Bad news: Long story short, the official subtitle for this episode is “Nazis‽” I...

So in case you were still on the fence about this, here is the lesson for this episode: never, ever, ever let a semi-ascended super-being, e...

Pro tip #1: guns are bad. Pro tip #2: the Non-Intereference Directive is there for a fucking reason. So this episode? Was actually sort of w...

In this week’s episode, our brave (stupid?) crew is once again kidnapped by a race of jerkface omnipotent ascended aliens. There’...

So as a heads-up, we don’t care what anyone thinks (up to and including Gene Roddenberry, who may or may not have despised it): this e...

So this episode is nominally a murder mystery, which honestly, made us give it a whole lot of bonus points right at the outset. Our crew is...

This week we reach the midway point in season 2 of TOS (and arguably the halfway point in the series), potentially subtitled “Old Man...

The NSMTNZ crew recently saw the new offering from the Nu!Trek franchise, and wonder of wonders, we enjoyed it! Now if Hollywood can just pr...

Our first bonus episode of two this week, all about the upcoming return of Star Trek to its natural habitat, television. There was a panel f...

This week, our crew comes upon a far-flung pseudo-colony where the members of a scientific expedition have come down with an acute case of T...

This week, the Enterprise visits Capella, land of shiny rocks, where people stab each other for fun and call it a favour, and women literall...

So this is probably my favourite episode so far, mostly because it’s FULL OF SPACE DIPLOMACY. It’s also the first appearance of...
