Yep, we're doing it again! While we didnt record a TON of episodes since the last tournament, we've thrown in an extra 32 just for fun, including some non-Trek episode UPSTARTS to see if they may pull off the ultimate upset and win it all. But, they'll be up against some TOUGH competition, including last year's winner: Take Me Out to the Holosuite from Deep Space 9. Will that episode repeat or will there be a new champion of...

Some lady named Beth has a clone called Space Beth, who looks like if Beth were a Portland barista, and they totally fall in love.

In their SECOND episode of Picard, the holobois discuss the merits of serialized vs episodic content - particularly in the context of the holodeck. Picard and crew are stuck in a nebula thingy and it looks pretty bad. Instead of coming up with a solution, most of them (except for Seven and Dr. Crusher of course) end up hanging out on...

In one of Star Trek TNG's all-time spookiest episodes, Data's dream program starts giving him nightmares. In a rare twist, Data is going haywire in order to SAVE the Enterprise - but not without few stabby stabs along the way. Ensuing are silly straws, cellular peptide cakes, and a fantastic therapy sission with Sigmund Freud in... The Holodeck!!!

To quote Eric Bana's Nero... the wait is over.
All four holobois are back for this Very Special Episode after months of hiatus due to the Writers' and Actors' strikes. After all, they're more than heroes: they're union men. This classic season 7 banger features Federation Ferengi and Dominion Defection hijinks, but because the holobois are a bit rusty there isn't any content on... THE HOLODECK!

In this totally, super-Christmasy episode, the holobois watch The Doctor bring the holiday cheer by chopping Socrates in half and freaking Kes out! It's because of his personality subroutines, you see. It DOES inspire Jan and Dylan to watch "THE HOWLING", which is a movie about werewolves starring Robert Picardo. Which would make a great episode on... THE HOLODECK!

Jan writes the descriptions but wasn't on the episode, so here's what he guesses happened: Marc brings up how Chakotay's actor is a bit problematic these days. Darius points out some pretty obvious sexism in the story (something about how it's all through the lens of a male). Dylan thinks a costume is "rad". In the episode, Paris and Kim go to a PEARL JAM concert to hang out with some grunge girls on... THE HOLODECK!

It's an ocean in SPACE! This is the infamous episode where Tom Paris gets demoted for becoming an eco-terrorist on a planet made entirely out of water. Why? Because the planet's government simply just... doesn't want to fix the problem (even though it's literally fixable). The holobois talk about the value of replicator rations (how many rations would you be willing to spend for a single Banh mi?) and there's some amazing Captain Proton jetpack action as the legendary Delaney Twins join Kim and Paris on...

A two-hander again, featuring Marc Cooper, as we watch the backdoor pilot for STARFLEET LEGAL in this LeVar Burton-directed banger. Worf is on trial, but not for all the good reasons (Iike being a bad friend, brother, dad...) but for being bad at captaining a starship (he blew up a civilian transport without hesitation). It's a pretty cool mashup of Kurosawa's Rashomon and Spike Lee's Clockers as various characters give their point of view direct-to-camera, including Dax's from... THE HOLODECK!

Definitely Voyager's worst episode, "Threshold" really takes it out of the holobois as Tom Paris breaks the transwarp barrier! He's everywhere in the universe at once, which leads to some pretty spectacular science fiction ideas, like "What if a dude turned into a lizard?" This episode is so bad, Trek to the Holodeck had to bring on its science correspondent to explain the episode's worst science sins. Oh, and there's a super-mediocre and uninteresting scene on...

What's there to say about this classic episode (later riffed about on Lower Decks) beyond the fact it's got some fantastic lewks for Captain Kirk and Commander Spock? The Enterprise beams down during the "Red Hour" of Beta III, a planet run by a totally-real-not-a-computer definitely not a 1960's slight at Communism being called "Landru."

Every once in a while we get the urge to change things up a bit. Explore some new shows and new casts. In order to channel that energy in a focused, relevant way, we've picked this episode of The Original Series because it is EXTREMELY a "holodeck" episode if not in name, then vibe.

In honor of Shem, we'd like to share his episode again to demonstrate how bright his light still shines.

Photonic aliens (from the 5th dimension!) invade Tom Paris and Harry Kim's adventures in the Captain Proton holodeck program. Voyager's crew now has to stop the holodeck program's ultimate villain - CHAOTICA - from endless war with these photonic beings. Who else is better positioned than the "Bride of Chaotica" herself: Captain Janeway! Please check out "Bride of Chaotica!" from Star Trek: Voyager, Season 5 Episode 12!

It’s an episode of firsts! We examine the first time the holodeck ever appears in a CANON episode of Star Trek, in the series premiere of The Next Generation, while also watching the first time a version of the holodeck appears in The Animated Series, where it’s called “The Rec Room.” We discuss holodeck bug reports, “Chekhov’s rock,” the undercelebrated genius of a “Kirk is a Jerk” shirt, and go over the history of the holodeck as a concept and execution. The Enterprise’s least important officers meet for the first time in Ten Forward and try to figure out whether to suck up to Picard or Riker, how to get a permission slip to go down to Farpoint Station, and how many Enterprises there are during a saucer separation. We encourage you to watch “Encounter at Farpoint” from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1, Episode 1 and “The Practical Joker” from Star Trek: The Animated Series Season 2, Episode 3!

CBS has announced another new Star Trek series: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. The boys spool up the holodeck to discuss the news. Will there be… exploration? Will it be good fanservice or BAD fanservice? Will they bring back Kirk? SHOULD they bring back Kirk?

When a runabout gets blown up by space terrorists before the crew can fully transport to Deep Space Nine, it’s up to “Our Man Bashir” to keep their transporter patterns busy - and alive - in the holosuite. This send-up of James Bond (referencing another send-up of the superspy, Our Man Flint) is a holo-DELIGHT.
Why does the holosuite always turn off safeties when things go wrong? Which actor plays the campiest character? Why does Garak want Bashir to kill everybody?
Deep Space Nine’s least important officers discuss diplomatic mission invitations, cooking, and power coupling repairs on The Promenade.
We encourage you to watch “Our Man Bashir” from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4, Episode 10!

On our first mission, we watch, analyze, and rate Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “A Fistful of Datas.” Is Worf a good dad? Is Data’s head port thing gross or... SUPER gross? Why do they call it the “Ancient” West and not the “Old” West? Does Reginald Barclay program holodeck porn?
Plus, you'll meet some of the Enterprise-D’s least important officers as they have a meal in Ten Forward.
We encourage you to watch “A Fistful of Datas” from Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6, Episode 8!
