Show Notes
B’Elanna finds herself in a family way! While everyone else is thrilled to welcome the ship’s newest bundle of rage, Torres thinks now is a good time to make the kinds of tweaks that aren’t street legal in Federation space. Can she edit away years of family trauma? Does Tom get a say? Can we all at least admit that B’Elanna’s dad is trash? Is “Lineage” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

More from The People v. Star Trek: Voyager
One last season, one final appeal to the Court’s questionable sense of mercy. Deemed garbage and maligned on first pass, Season 7 returns to see if the home stretch looks any better through the lens of time passed. Is this hurried run of goodbyes and monsters-of-the-week a fitting farewell to the Delta Quadrant’s merry band of sojourners? Or is it merely a fire sale of half-baked scripts from the writer’s room crank file? Is Season 7 ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE? patreon.com/shadeaux shadeauxpublicradio.com
The people (well, at least a few people) cry out for clemency, and their cries are met with a second chance for Voyager’s big finale. Can the appellate court find a satisfying ending in this hassled and harried jumble of a goodbye jaunt? Can Voyager’s finale be forgiven for failing where other Trek finales have sort of succeeded? Is Endgame, Part 2, ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE? patreon.com/shadeaux shadeauxpublicradio.com
Our review of our Season Six review turns our weary eyes to a time of strife, plague, burdened spirits, and bad episodes. Do we still hate Season Six as much as we did, or were our judgments unfairly tinted by everything else that was going on? In the light of time past, can we find anything good to say about Tsunkatse?

Voyager takes a holographic trip to the make-believe past of a very real place. We take a visit to the very real past of a make-believe courtroom to relitigate our treatment of “Fair Haven,” an episode that poses more questions than it answers about the ethics of holographic (and televised) entertainment.

It’s the last-chance liquor stop on our way into the Season Six abyss! But do we really like it, or do we just like it in comparison to Season Four and Season Six? What are the high points in a season that tackles exciting themes like “depression” and “loneliness” and “arbitrary solitary confinement of a mission-essential crewmember?” Is Season Five ACTUALLY GOOD… or ACTUALLY GARBAGE? www.patreon.com/shadeaux www.shadeauxpublicradio.com
