When the Voyager gets jacked, Leonardo DaVinci gets snatched like a chain, along with the ship’s computer core. But when they arrive at Planet SoCal, they get extremely confused about what their priorities should be in recovering their stuff. Why don’t more aliens look like members of Slipknot? How much was the talc budget for LDV on this episode? Where does Tau keep his genitals? It’s the episode that wants to take to the sky, but can’t get its mind out of the gutter.

But when the shockwave pushes the crew into a new reality, they'll risk everything to learn how the time weapon can be defended against. How many centuries would it be appropriate to put up with the job title “Lackey” before you ask for a promotion? Why don’t they use porcelain in starship construction? Why are they called the Zahl?

Profit or Passion by Nog Ferengi

An oppressive parental figure. A harsh mentor. An expectation from someone above you to take a specific life path — even though you’ve already set your mind on pursuing another. Lots of us can relate to the shared experience of wanting something that conflicts with what our friends, family, parents or colleagues want for us. The question is: what do you do in a situation like this?

Today we’re going to walk you through someone who’s on this path right now. His name is Nog — a fellow on a pretty universal journey, if you will. A young man from a profit-based planet (or, should we say, city), Nog has dreams of joining an organization based on charting, exploring and defending unseen lands. Unfortunately, he’s running up against problems with his uncle, who’s convinced that the best move for Nog is to take a more active role at the family bar in the coming years.

To get clarity around his concerns, Nog’s written a few journals to us in hopes of better navigating his situation. Let’s dig into his first journal entry now and see what we can glean!

The crew runs into Dal's space mom, a Ferengi named Nandi, who convinces Dal and the crew to help her obtain a crystal from a species that has never met an alien species.  Janeway tries to warn the crew that First Contact can be dangerous and exist for a reason, but it falls on deaf ears.  Of course, Nandi double crosses the crew and they have to work to right the wrong, and Dal learns a valuable lesson who choosing who you trust.  

We'll dive into all the goodness of this episode, read a brand new email and discuss:

• favorite moments
• things we learned
• questions we have going forward
• Star Trek Messages
• what we think will happen in the next episode

Jude and Brent would love to hear from you.  Please email your comments and thoughts to us and we will read it on the next episode.  murfsturfpodcast@gmail.com or follow the show on Twitter at @MurfsTurfPod.  And please consider leaving us a review on Apple Podcasts.  

About the Show:
In this all new podcast, a son invites his long time Trekkie and Podcasting veteran father to discuss Star Trek's newest series, Star Trek: Prodigy.  This is Trek's first series aimed specifically at kids and bringing a new generation into the Star Trek family.  Does this new series have what it takes to accomplish that lofty mission?  Will the son like a Star Trek show?  Will the dad like a kid's show?  Let's find out together as Brent and Jude explore Murf's Turf, the brand new series from Nickelodeon and Paramount Plus, Star Trek: Prodigy. 

The Trekkie Gals try take on this first season episode of Enterprise where T'Pol tries to hide a secret from the crew. The problem is they think she's working with Vulcan spies. Magen wonders how they got paper drawings sent from Ireland. Does Erin pull off another quiz win? And Sarah forgets the plots of all the TOS movies...again.

Thanks to Kirsten's caving, this episode features three of Maria's favorite episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9 ). Our shared love of Star Trek has brought us even closer together over the years. This conversation covers everything from an examination of why specific series are comforting to us, to the power of facial hair, and even connecting the dots between a DS9 episode and the Hawaiian Renaissance. There is lots of laughter and nerding out in this lighthearted episode. 

When Starfleet decides that the Dominion can not be allowed to continue sending ships into the Alpha Quadrant, they order Sisko to mine the Wormhole, causing the existing Dominion fleet, let by Weyoun, to capture DS9, setting off the Dominion War.  Matt has finally arrived at where the past several seasons have been heading.  He knows it's coming, let's see how he takes it.

Martok assumes his first command after being freed from his Jem'Hadar imprisonment, but he is making for a rather reluctant captain, forcing his first officer, Worf, to choose between his loyalty to his captain and his loyalty to his crew.  It's a character defining episode for Martok, but Matt doesn't know that.  Let's see if he can make heads or tails about why this episode was included.

Dr Lewis Zimmerman has come to Deep Space Nine to use Dr. Bashir as the model for the new LongTerm Medical Holographic program, but while researching his subject, he stumbles on to a long held Bashir family secret that could get Julian discharged from the service.  It's an episode that fundamentally changes Dr. Bashir, but is it for the better or the worse?  And what does our first time watcher think of the mother of all retcons?  Let's find out.

In this episode, we talk about Season 6, Episode 13 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, called "Far Beyond the Stars." It's a fantastic episode about racism, the history of sci fi, and the importance of fiction. Unfortunately, Jeffrey Combs plays a horrible, racist cop! Oh well... somebody has to play that role, so it might as well be Combs! Join us as we discuss what might be the very best episode of Star Trek ever made!

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).
