A Star to Steer Her By

A Star Trek Podcast

Author: A Star to Steer Her By

New episodes every Thursday! Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary. Mature Content!

Episode 436: The Vulcan Meh
Thursday, 23 April, 2026

We've come to the end of the beginning of the "Trek" streaming era with "Life, Itself". Unfortunately, it's all a bit underwhelming. We've got a pointless space battle, a mall-looking ancient temple/lab/whatever, and an ultimate puzzle that a five year old could crack. There's also a stupid, stupid, stupid reveal and an idiotic epilogue. Also this week: unexpected "Titanic", poster profundity, and wrapping "Discovery"!
