Description

Is Star Trek: Voyager good... or is it garbage? Journey forward to the courtroom of the Honorable Judge Midnightien Later as he seeks to discern a final and legally-binding answer to this and other perplexing questions, one Voyager episode at a time. Is Janeway the purest exemplar of the overarching Star Trek ethos, or does she personify the dangers of dogmatic adherence to Starfleet’s institutional code? Is the Voyager a pretty ship? Why does the theme song never speed up? The court’s only hope for finding answers are three voices from the ancient past: The apologist, the hater, and the dude who is watching it all for the first time.

2025/11/16

The plot thinnens as Firefly works its way through more western tropes.

Special Presentation: The People v. Firefly - Case 02: The Train Job

2025/11/08

Special Presentation: The People v. Firefly - Case 01: Serenity

2025/11/05

Once upon a time in the West of Space, there was a man. The deadliest crackshot this side of the Mesa Verde. Rooting. Tooting. Roping. Milking. Bricklaying. All of that cowboy shit. He was a legend. A legend of hard leather and gunslinger glory. Unfortunately, this podcast has nothing to do with that wandering stranger. Please enjoy our critical analysis and unbiased palaver about everyone’s favorite sci-fi/western casserole: Firefly. Is it SHINY or is it HEINIE? Join the GRAND JURY: www.patreon.com/shadeaux

Special Presentation: The People v. Firefly - Case 00: Art v. Artist

2025/10/28

LIMITED SERIES - Don’t Panic VOYAGER is still coming! At last, the content faucet begins to turn and these are the first drippings. For FIREFLY we realized that the main topic we would constantly be circling was the age-old ‘can you separate the Art from the Artist’ debate. Here we try to tackle that topic first - and while SHOCKINGLY we don’t resolve that debate for all time -- this does give at least a solid summary of how we’ll attempt to approach the rest of this brief.

Case 7.27: Season Seven Finale

2024/04/15

70,000 light years and what felt like 70,000 episodes later, we arrive at the (sort of) end of our journey through STAR TREK: VOYAGER! Is season 7 the send-off this ship and crew truly deserved, or did behind-the-scenes apathy make it a dumping ground for unused scripts? It’s a musical and dramatic extravaganza of interplanetary litigation, but only the Patreon Grand Jury gets to decide: Is the FINAL SEASON of Voyager GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Case 7.26: Endgame - Part Two

2024/02/11

It’s Janeway vs. Oldway vs. Borg Queen vs. Time Itself in a quadrangle showdown that will bring the entire series to a thrilling and puzzlingly abrupt conclusion! Can Janeway finally give her crew the happy homecoming of their dreams? Will audiences get the BioWare-style epilogues they deserve? Is “Endgame, Part II” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? patreon.com/shadeaux shadeauxpublicradio.com

Case 7.25: Endgame - Part One

2024/02/10

It’s the beginning of the end, and it begins… at the end! Voyager’s not-too-distant future reveals a destination that is less happy than Admiral Janeway is willing to accept. Can she convince Captain Janeway to smash up the timeline (again)? Will audiences believe that Harry actually made Captain? Is “Endgame, Part I” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Case 7.24: Renaissance Man

2024/01/20

Janeway and the Doctor are kidnapped by some aliens, and only the Doctor can endanger the entire ship and crew to save her from a situation she was perfectly capable of handling on her own! Can the Doctor rescue her before she rescues herself? Will anyone explain why the Doctor doesn’t get thirty days in the Tom Paris brig suite for doing a full-on treason? Is “Renaissance Man” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? shadeauxpublicradio.com patreon.com/shadeaux

Case 7.23: Homestead

2024/01/09

A once-hated, now-beloved friend is leaving the ship for good, and there’s only one way to properly send him off: with the final DRUNKASODE of The People Vs. Star Trek Voyager! Can Neelix find a true family among the remnants of his people? Is whiskey and pickle juice actually delicious, or do we just hate ourselves? Is “Homestead” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? www.shadeauxpublicradio.com patreon.com/shadeaux

Case 7.22: Natural Law

2023/12/29

Case 7.21: Friendship One

2023/12/28

Humanity tries doing something nice for once and of course it ends up causing a genocide! At least this one was an accident! Can Voyager clean up Earth’s mess in time to rescue their hostage crew members? Will Smarm Johnson’s heroic death prove to be the emotional climax of season 7? Is “Friendship One” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? www.shadeauxpublicradio.com patreon.com/shadeaux

Case 7.20: Author, Author

2023/12/09

With Earth now close enough to receive FaceTime calls and email attachments, the Doctor cashes in on Voyager’s celebrity status to launch his long-postponed literary career! Will his revolutionary work about holo-bigotry wreck the reps of the Delta Quadrant darlings? Will artistic truth lose out to hurt feelings? Is “Author, Author” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? shadeauxpublicradio.com patreon.com/shadeaux

Case 7.19: Q2

2023/11/17

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the space-time continuum, it’s Q2! The exciting sequel to Q (“sequel,” like in a biological sense)! Can Mama Janeway teach Qboy how to act right before the Q authorities blast him out of the galactic narrative? Can Q2’s reality-warping powers make Icheb likable? Is “Q2” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? patreon.com/shadeaux www.shadeauxpublicradio.com

Case 7.18: Human Error

2023/11/03

Seven’s new obsession with the holo-romance genre is all good fun until it has her missing work shifts and giving serious thought to smooching Chakotay. Can she get her fantasy-reality balance adjusted in time to rescue the ship from a subspace firing range? Is veggie prep the sexiest of the pseudo-erotic culinary skills? Is “Human Error” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE? patreon.com/shadeaux shadeauxpublicradio.com
