New episode every Monday! Trek By The Numbers guides you through episodes of Trek - from any and all the series - focused on a theme. But basically, we're the friends you wish you had to geek out, goof around, and talk about Star Trek. Bob is a history buff, and Josh is a scientist. And we're both life-long Trek fans.

"Bow" like "bow," not "bow." Anyway, this is the first episode of our new arc: KLINGON HISTORY! And for sake of fun, we're following in-universe chronology with this arc, so it's Enterprise first. Trip and Archer get VERY passive aggressive with T'Pol, and we try to figure out how Enterprise spends its horny buxxx.…

Coming to you live from the Des Moines Community Players playhouse, it's The Empath. Kirk, Spock, and Bones find a mute woman lying on a chez lounge in a void and, after some brutal torture, teach a pair of aliens about love and compassion. We pitch a new Riker show, and we discuss Geordi's gait.Di Trek by The Numbers

Welcome to our new arc: Love in the 24th Century. Poor Wesley Crusher. It's the classic "boy meets girl, girl is a shapeshifting ball of light" story. He tries to get help from the adults around him, but they just keep screwing with him. Also: Riker pitches a new video game, and Worf finds a new holodeck program to enjoy.…

Data's head done popped off. Mark Twain pulls a gun on Captain Picard after spending some time alone with a young Jack London. Snake sock puppets. And maybe a weird reference to a cult? Anyway, here's the conclusion of Time Travel! Catch us next week for our episode 47 special: Moonraker.Di Trek By The Numbers

Top tier Star Trek in this episode. Truly. Is he Captain Benjamin Sisko, or Benny Russell, a struggling black science fiction writer living on Earth in the 1950s? Heavy, thoughtful stuff that brings an insightful conversation to broadcast TV. Next week we'll be back to the goof-a-minute stuff with "Time's Arrow" from TNG. You know, the one with Mar…

In this episode we alienate our two biggest fanbases: fans of the Canadian pop punk band Sum 41 and the Wahlberg brothers. You know, the hamburger guys? And we sorta talk about the Picard trailer, what it's for and what we can learn from a single trailer. And we talk about Bob's favorite TNG episode "A Few Good Things."…

Have you ever been bitten by your pet targ while out on the hunt? Then be sure to get some of Gowron's famous beef juice bandages! We finish up Storm Front, which is Enterprise finishing up the whole temporal cold war thing by literally shrugging and saying "chicken and egg?" It's ... great?Di Trek By The Numbers

Thrill as Manny Coto (of "24" fame) desperately tries to save the ailing series by utterly jettisoning the Temporal Cold War non-story. And he does it by riffing on TOS' "Patterns of Force" (aka the Nazi episode), which is a wild choice but ok. There's not-quite-Reman bat people that are trying to do... something vague that involves helping the Ger…

Welcome to our new arc: TIME TRAVEL! I mean, you get it, right? I don't have to explain it. Ok? Good. Anyway, the Enterprise is thrown back in time by a black hole or something and then they abduct a guy and it's all very silly, but then they send him home. Or actually they probably scatter his atoms on the sun but it doesn't matter because it will…

Happy 4th of July week, people. To celebrate independence and freedom, we watched... Nemesis for some reason? It's Tom Hardy's first big role! Jesse's back and it's a great time talking about Nemesis and analyzing it. What an awful, awful movie! (CW: the movie depicts rape in a scene, and we briefly discuss it & how the movie depicts it)…

This week we're taking a break from SPACE LAW! to bring you an episode with special guest Jesse Balzer of Ruining Trailers (https://bit.ly/2FaeXuU). We dive head first into the infamous "Spock's Brain" and in the end we learn that maybe we were Morg all along. Next week we'll wrap up SPACE LAW! with TNG's "Drumhead."…

SPACE LAW! continues with a weird one. Need some tips for proper ponytail care? The Doctor wrote a holonovel, but the publisher claims he has to rights since The Doctor is a hologram. Bob drops knowledge on all sorts of law, and Josh admits he's not much of a pugilist. And hey, you may not like it but Robert Picardo has the ideal body for dilithium…

More SPACE LAW! Bob plugs a bartending school and Josh calls upon his knowledge of cheesy hair metal, and they both explore Ferengi multi-level marketing. Gowron and Worf having a major falling out over a boy. (Klingon courtship practices are complicated!) Bur at the heart of it all, this is a hearing about extradition. Worf did a bad, or DID HE? C…

Get a sick pull off your vape for this one, dads. We're diving into SPACE LAW for our next arc and boy oh boy is it a good one with "Devil's Due." Bob makes a case for the Devil and Josh points out that the aliens are probably slavers. But really, Ardra was undone by her own hubris. Also, where's Riker in all of this? Join us next week for another …

The stirring conclusion of the Prime Directive arc! We dig into this real sleeper hit of a DS9 episode. The compassion, thoughtfulness, optimism are all here. And there's some decent action and some goofy costumes to boot. What's not to love? Next week we'll be starting our next arc: SPACE LAW! with TNG's "Devil's Due."…

We continue our exploration of the Prime Directive, but take a little detour to Little Italy on Qo'noS along the way. And we take a peak at some Voyager actors' Twitter feeds. Good stuff abound. Anyway, B'elanna makes a robot friend who turns out to be not much of a friend. Oops, robot war! Catch us next week for the conclusion of our arc for the P…

This week we continue our exploration of the Prime Directive by visiting a time and place without a Prime Directive. How noodly is your Phlox? Hey, remember how good Data's Day was? Well has the team responsible for Enterprise got something for *you!* Also, would you please boss Scott Bakula around? He likes it. Catch us next week with "Prototype" …

Hey you. Yes, you! YOU are the reason we do this show, and we are grateful for you. A teensy little favor, though. Share us with your friends? Tweet about/at us? Post on Facebook? Thanks! Anyway, we're onto part 2 of our Prime Directive arc with "Pen Pals." It's a great TNG episode with some deep, heavy topics. And horses. And a ham-faced alien. Ne…

WELCOME to our first arc: 5 Crucial Prime Directive episodes, starting with TOS "Patterns of Force" aka "Wow, the aliens are just Nazis, huh?" or "Why does Kirk keep saying 'Natzi?" The Prime Directive is seemingly simple - don't interfere with other cultures unless asked - but the application is pretty messy. We're going to check out 5 different e…

Is this secretly a Crusher episode? How much summer sausage can you replicate? What about manflesh? Data's Day is a great episode of Trek, which is a kind respite for Bob & Josh. So good that we ended up going long. Catch us next week with the beginning of our new format, starting with 5 Crucial Prime Directive Episodes. We'll start with TOS "Patte…

McCoy yearns for a simpler time when white people could live in houses built and maintained by slaves, then bemoans "females." The crew tells a computer how it should fight for its freedom. But hey, Josh wedged a "I am Kirok!" reference in here, so it can't be all bad. Join us next week for TNG S4e11: Data's Day.…

What's in Johnny Frakes' snackle box? This episode of ENT really is an exemplar of a filler episode but at least we jazz it up with some "Panama" references for 45 minutes. We also enter into some high-level negotiations with CBS over more new Star Trek show, like a Golden Girls type show set during the First Cardassian War. So, ask yourself: what …

Pop open a can of Diet Trek with us, and cozy on up to the TV to watch some NCIS. This is the episode where we finally lose that lucrative NERF money. What's there to talk about when the episode says so little? Our answer may surprise you! Check us next week with Stardate 6.2.17: Canamar (ENT)Di Trek By The Numbers
