Cafeteria Android (Character Deep Dive: Data)

Author: Uxbridge-Shimoda LLC July 7, 2020 Duration: 46:33

After watching and then rewatching Star Trek: Picard, Adam and Ben revisit moments of Data's life that developed the character over many decades. But when one of the hosts has to rewatch Nemesis this journey of historical canon takes a wild turn. Will Lore ever return to the screen? How long was Data an ensign? Was Brent Spiner the best actor in all of Star Trek? It's the episode that plays the hand it has been dealt.

If you're looking for a companion for the latest Star Trek series that feels more like hanging out with friends than reading a dry review, Greatest Trek: New Star Trek Reviewed might be your new weekly ritual. This podcast serves as an unofficial, irreverent aftershow, tackling each new episode from the expanding universe of modern Trek-whether it's Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, or any of the animated entries. Hosts Adam and Ben dive in every Friday with a recap that's equal parts review and roast, never taking the material too seriously despite their obvious affection for it. Their approach is conversational and often comedic, filtering the grandeur of Star Trek through a lens of relatable humor and the occasional bit of filth. You'll hear them dissect plot points, character choices, and the latest galactic crises with the enthusiasm of lifelong fans who are also willing to poke fun at the franchise's quirks. It's a specific kind of camaraderie that makes this podcast feel like a debrief with fellow viewers after the credits roll. The show is produced by Uxbridge-Shimoda LLC, the same team behind The Greatest Generation, another Star Trek podcast they humorously note is hosted by guys slightly embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. That self-aware, down-to-earth tone is what defines the listen-it's less about authoritative criticism and more about sharing the experience of enjoying new Trek, flaws and all.
