These are the voyages of the podcast Baldly Go. Jim and A.Ron’s mission: to continue their exploration into the vast world of Star Trek. Their current trajectory takes them to Star Trek: Lower Decks!
It’s the Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover that we needed! After a selfie activates a portal, Boimler and Mariner find themselves on the Enterprise. There’s been a lot of time travel in ST: SNW, so everyone should know the rules, right? Well, the USS Cerritos crew members are having trouble keeping “future-stuff” to themselves. Put a little madcap in your Star Trek with this episode!
Uhura encounters a mysterious message. She is soon haunted by zombies and nightmares. Kirk and Spock finally meet. And turns out you can sift through someone’s personal logs whenever you want…so long as they’re dead. With the looming threat of space madness, the crew may be dealing with a menace they don’t understand. Listen to the episode, you space hippie!
Now what if I told you that this episode of Star Trek is the straight up comedy version of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”? Would you believe me? Spock is dealing with his emotional side, Kirk serves up some great jokes, and several crew members learn to appreciate their relationships. Listen in to hear about all this and A.Ron’s shout-out in this episode of Baldly Go!
The crew of the Enterprise needs to clean up a botched mission that violated the Prime Directive. A strange illness passes over them and they rapidly begin to forget who they are. Armed with only base instinct and curiosity, can the crew regain their memory without losing their humanity? And A.Ron would like to point out that Star Trek often has good (and bad) dating advice for young nerds.
Some crew members wander NYC, wait, that’s not right. The crew wanders Toronto! La’an is given some essential character beats. This version of Kirk has never been to Earth before, but still has all the classic Kirk quirks. As they charm and bluff their way through the Canadian metropolis, Jim and A.Ron wonder, could OnlyFans solve the financial needs of a stranded crew?
Do you remember “The Measure of a Man” episode from Star Trek: Next Generation? Strange New Worlds is holding their own courtroom melodrama. Pike looks for a lawyer as Commander Una Chin-Riley is put on trial. What is natural? What is unnatural? Are those concepts inherently good or bad? Is that a bald Vulcan?? Discuss these serious and silly questions with Jim and A.Ron on this episode of Baldly Go.
This is the cigar-chomping, Bloodwine-drinking version of Star Trek we’ve been waiting for. There’s a new riff on the Klingons, Hulk-out juice, and a little-known Star Trek species that finally gets its time in the spotlight. There are a few things to file under “cringe”, but it wouldn’t be Star Trek without the camp.
Welcome to the new podcast Baldly Go! This pod will cover all things Star Trek starting with the highly anticipated season two of Strange New Worlds. Can the world of Star Trek be redeemed from the folly of recent years? What new characters and old enemies will we meet at the edges of the galaxy? Get a breakdown of all those moments in the trailer and what that could mean.
