New episodes every Thursday! Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes th ...

Hope you like "General Hospital", because "Discovery" is going full "Eastenders" this week with "Point of Light". There's a secret baby and a sort-of-love triangle on the Klingon side of things, and while Tilly might not have an evil twin, she has a weird imaginary friend/infection! Oh, and Section 31 shows up. Ugh.Also this week: middle naming, ru…

The "Discovery" crew is jumping farther than they've ever gone before in "New Eden". A new Red Signal from the far end of the Beta Quadrant leads them to a colony somehow descended from WW3-era humans. Meanwhile, Tilly makes bad choices with a rock and Owo gets convenient-but-pointless background!Also this week: up yours, Phlox; empathy, in this ec…

The second season of "Discovery" is underway, and it's bringing Captain Pike along for the ride! In "Brother", mysterious signals have appeared simultaneously throughout the galaxy and it's up to the "Disco" crew and her new commander to figure out what's going on. The trail leads to an unnecessarily action-packed asteroid field and a much more sto…

Back in the day, streaming "Trek" tried a fun little experiment that actually worked out pretty well! So of course they only did it twice. This week we're looking at the first four "Short Treks", bite-sized bits that go a bit outside the usual realms of the show. This time around we've got a stowaway, two different kinds of rescue, and a rascally c…

And with that, we come to "Will You Take My Hand?", the season 1 finale of "Discovery"! A daring mission to the Klingon Homeworld, led by the Mirror Georgiou, is suspicious from the off and soon revealed to be another case of Admirals Behaving Badly. Will the Federation give up on its values in the face of its seeming destruction, or will cooler he…

It's almost the end of the first season of "Discovery"! In "The War Without, The War Within", Starfleet and the Federation are on their back foot. Having the cloak-detecting algorithm may not be enough on its own, so what can our heroes do? How about have a variety of scenes that don't quite add up to a proper episode? Oh. That's what we're going w…

In "What's Past Is Prologue" everyone really doesn't get that just because someone is identical to a lost loved one doesn't mean you can expect them to BEHAVE like that lost someone. Especially if they're from an alternate universe with diametrically opposite morals! Idiots! Everyone is idiots! And Saru makes a speech.Also this week: the reality of…

Well great. now we've got Mirror Georgiou to deal with! in "Vaulting Ambition" the mirror universe gets more complicated and more ridiculous in equal measure as Michael has to change plans on the fly. Meanwhile, the season has ANOTHER twist to fling at us!Also this week: Voqler, goofy eyes, and Hoshi Sato

1:28:24We've got three plots this week and somehow almost nothing happens in "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"! We finally have an away mission and Saru goes a bit nuts, which is certainly very "Trek". Meanwhile, Stamets is feeling the strain of being a living navigational computer. And L'Rell meets Cornwell. Yup.Also this week: belated holiday, The Simpsons, a…

Inspired by last week's "Discovery" time loop episode, we're taking a look at 2014's action sci-fi time-loop trip "Edge of Tomorrow". Tom Cruise plays a media relations army man thrust into actual battle and lasts about as long as you'd expect...until some alien magic makes it so he gets to try again. And again. AND AGAIN. Can he save the planet AN…

1:32:53Harry Mudd is back and he's out for revenge in "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"! He's got some inexplicable time magic creating a loop that should allow him to pull off the perfect heist, and a spore-dappled Stamets might be the only person that can throw a wrench into his plans! With a little help from our main character, of course.Also this …

"Discovery" is expanding the Bad Dad lore; we already knew Sarek wasn't great at the whole father thing, but when his adopted daughter dives into his subconscious in "Lethe", we find out he maybe gives Worf a run for his money. And in the B plot: an inappropriate Doctor/Patient relationship NOT involving Bashir!Also this week: judgy tech, Pokémon (…

This week's episode, "Choose Your Pain", engages in a time-honored "Trek" tradition: the Captain takes a shuttle somewhere instead of his massive starship and gets captured. Who could've seen that coming? What will be worse for Lorca: Klingon torture or sharing a cell with one Harcourt Fenton Mudd?Also this week: the big F, Tippecanoe, and more mul…

A bit of a detour from our planned "Discovery" watch as OTOY and The Roddenberry Archive threw everyone a bit of a surprise for "Generations" 30th anniversary. Join us to check out a new short, a continuation of work OTOY has been doing for the past few years. We get a final journey for Captain Kirk, (maybe? depending on how you view it?) through t…

Brace yourself for the second-longest and probably-goofiest "Trek" title ever as we spend this week looking at "The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry". The stakes are higher than ever for the "Discovery" crew to get her spore drive working properly as the Klingons launch an attack on a key Federation dilithium mining facility. Also Landr…

With that pesky, extra-long introduction out of the way, "Discovery" can start proper with "Context Is for Kings"! Michael's on her way to space jail until she's bailed out by the shady Captain Gabriel Lorca. He's got secret plans that involve a grumpy scientists, we meet a chatty roommate, and conveniently enough some of Burnham's old crew is alon…

We're picking up right where we left off last week as the "Discovery" premiere wraps up with "Battle at the Binary Stars"! The Klingons have the advantage and Burnham is in the clink. How on earth will anyone survive long enough for there to be a third episode?!Also this week: T'Kuvma's Playhouse, Vulcan superpowers, and series finales

1:50:36"Enterprise" might be over, but she has one last outing...sort of. If its finale was HORRIBLE fanfiction, how about you step right up for some, if we do say so ourselves, much better fanfiction! Yes, your stalwarts are at it again, putting their own unique spins on the "Star Trek" universe with the crew of the NX-01. This time: contests, crossovers…

Our collective dislike of "Enterprise" is hardly a secret, but even your hosts (and our guest) agree this show deserved a better sendoff than "These Are the Voyages...", or at least a sendoff that was about itself. Rather than simply wrapping things up with the preceding two-parter, the talentless hacks in charge decided to sideline the cast of thi…

We're in the home stretch and "Enterprise" sure is cranking up the stupid to 11! What's the dumbest twist you could have? The two-parter "Demons" and "Terra Prime" has a good chance of using it. RoboCop himself has dropped into "Trek" to unleash a scheme that really only makes sense if you're already a deranged xenophobe who got his hands on some l…

It's the moment one of your hosts has been waiting for and the others have been dreading! It's time for the "Enterprise" take on the Mirror Universe in the campy two-parter "In a Mirror, Darkly". Watch as we and a guest struggle to tell the difference between Prime and Mirror Archer and wonder if other people weren't allowed to be evil ENOUGH.Also …

Oh, boy, time to get some new "Trek" lore! No, not the android kind, the backstory kind! Also I guarantee it's a kind no one sensible wanted, needed, or ended up liking! First up, it takes two terrible episodes to find out why the Klingons are so darn different in TOS with "Affliction" and "Divergence"! After that, brace yourself for what a misogyn…

In their convoluted attempt to destabilize the region they've just gone and helped lay the groundwork for the eventual United Federation of Planets! Maybe there was a better use for their super psychic powered self-repairing ships than this? Also Trip and T'Pol's relationship takes a decidedly teen drama…

Everyone's up to something this week, tho motivation is maybe a bit vague. First up: voyeuristic aliens are being really creepy and possessing the crew just so they can watch people die in "Observer Effect". After that, someone has come up with a needlessly elaborate ship to try and start a war between the Andorians and Tellarites in "Babel One".Al…

1:51:56We're taking a bit of an "Enterprise" break to discuss one of the foundations of modern cyberpunk and its legacy sequel: "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner 2049". In a future where it almost never stops raining, artificial human slaves and their complex, ever-shifting relationship with their human creators/oppressors are the crux on which the world t…
