    Tribbles & Transporters Podcast

    Three 90s kids revisit and reminisce about all things Star Trek. Sarah's vibe is totally "The Next Generation," while Erin's main squeeze is "Voyager," and Magen loves "Deep Space Nine," but that doesn't stop them from delving into the other shows and movies. Their mission is to discover the unknown, explore the charted regions of the Star Trek universe, and guide newbies through the vast reaches of the franchise. New episodes on Fridays.

    DS9 - "Babel"

    The Trekkie gals were impressed with this episode. Not only was the plot unique, but the actors did a fantastic job learning their confusing lines. Equally confusing was O'Brien's rank, the way Nog was treated, and part of the plot - which only Sarah was confused about (as usual).

    TNG - "The Naked Now"

    The Trekkie gals revisit one of the least-favorite episodes of TNG's first season. Join them as they try to figure out how water molecules are supposed to act like a virus, try to say the name Tsiolkovsky without screwing it up, and Sarah reveals the simple answer to this episode's crisis, which was somehow forgotten by the crew.
