Shame Chaperone (Lower Decks S3E6)

When a test pilot’s propulsion experiment takes him much farther than expected, his shock on the other side makes him seem a little dumb. But when his guild of alien adventurers needs a handwritten equation to escape, John Crichton comes through with a rollerball mouse and earns their respect through math. Who was Farscape made for? How do you know when a show isn’t serious? Which piece of grit could turn into a pearl? It’s the episode with print magazine nostalgia!

When Jesse Thorn joins Ben and Adam to relive a conversation with P-Stew, the intro runs almost as long as the interview itself. But when foundational SNL sketches differ, the resulting questions go from glib to sincere and Jesse offers up remote pod viewing directly into his adolescence. If NPR is Godzilla, what is PRI? Where do public radio and Star Trek align? What’s the weirdest thing about having lunch with Jesse? It’s the episode that fantasizes about a very elderly man’s workout routine.

When Ben and Adam got to see an early preview of the DS9 retrospective in 2019, they sat down to record a bonus episode about everything it brought to light. But with Voyager’s own documentary on the way soon, how will it compare without a Shat or an Ira to center himself in the story. Who was responsible for a prison experiment at the live screening? Why is this production so kind to Rick Berman? What type of director wouldn’t have used Meredith Brooks? It’s the episode that feels a lot like a Star Trek convention in a box.
