Case 2.01: The 37s

The writers of Star Trek: Voyager charge into season 2 by heroically tackling one of history’s most famous mysteries! The Talkers of The People vs. Star Trek: Voyager charge into season 2 by examining how that mystery is handled and heroically deciding that they aren’t entirely sure how they feel about it! Is “The 37s” good… or is it garbage?

Case 1.17: Season One Finale

16 episodes. Three hosts. One courtroom. And one chance to save a season… or condemn it. It’s the Season 1 finale of The People vs. Star Trek: Voyager, and the stakes will never be this high again! Unless we make it to the Season 2 finale, in which case the stakes will be equally as high! Extra drama! Extra backtory for Bliff the Bailiff! Final arguments presented through the majesty of original song! One verdict will be rendered, and our most devoted listeners and supporters get to decide: Is Season 1 of Star Trek: Voyager good… or is it garbage?

Case 1.15: Jetrel

Voyager goes all-in on debating the ethics of atrocity in times of war, and Neelix is the unlikely rhetorical centerpiece. The members of Judge Later’s court must decide if the writers go too far (or perhaps not far enough) in exploring one of the darkest moments in human history. Also: Janeway will still let anyone on the ship. Is it OK for Star Trek to be joyless when the subject matter warrants? Can Neelix find it in his heart to forgive? SHOULD he forgive? Do Talaxians even have hearts? Is “Jetrel” good… or is it garbage?  

Case 1.13: Cathexis

Things get all spiritual and stuff as a mysterious space accident leaves Chakotay in a coma. Meanwhile, an invisible force makes members of the crew sabotage the ship and punch each other in hilarious fashion, and nobody-- not even the officers of Judge Later’s space court-- knows who to trust! Is “Cathexis” good… or is it garbage?
