You probably found this podcast feed because you're a fan of Star Trek. And if what our anecdotal evidence suggests is true, then you're not a fan of Star Trek Discovery. That's ok. Remember when James and Hugh got mad and bailed on that other podcast? Well it continued, and this is where A Discovery Home Companion ended up. Maybe you'll like it.
Look for "Star Trek Resignation" in all your podcast services.
Here's a link , the second ep of the podcast and maybe even more await you!

Not even about a TV show, but we all read a book. You like books, don't you? Sure, maybe you haven't read Charles Portis's Masters of Atlantis. This will not ruin that process for you, we promise.
Let us know if you like this sort of thing, or check out the Kickers of Elves Patreon for more content maybe you'll like as well [or better].

Update: Hey, this file is longer than 30 seconds this time.***
Here we talk about the TV show we've been the most excited for in a while. Specifically, the finale. The statute of limitations is over. So yeah, spoilers for that. No space stuff, sorry.
NOT from the patreon! But check it out. There's plenty over there. For instance: Ever read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy? We did.

What about those Rules of Acquisition? It's back to Deep Space 9! What you haven't watched the most recent episode? "Hear All, Trust Nothing" is more or less an episode of DS9, so we had to cover it. If you haven't caught up on Star Trek: Lower Decks don't worry, neither have James or Hugh. What is goin on post Dominion War? Just when does this take place? How do Kira and Quark work as cartoons? What is going on with all these new Trek shows? It's almost an old fashioned RoA

Know nothing about D&D or tabletop role playing games? Hugh talks to an expert* to figure out just what the deal is. How much is the past time growing? What is the history of D&D? Just how the hell do you play a game where you pretend to be an elf?
Then a look at the Star Trek Adventures role playing game.
*It's Wade. He talks to Wade. Surprise surprise. No James in this one.
Yep, this one is from the patreon too.https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

On the patreon: Hugh and James have opinions on Strange New Worlds! Wade Hasn't even seen it yet?!
Here is a preamble to that discussion.

James and Hugh watched the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary on Disney + and there's a discussion on making art. Didn't watch it? That's ok, Wade didn't either. You like the Beatles, right?
You guessed it: Patreon content!

Here's more from what we talk about at https://patreon.com/kickersofelves
Matrix and Tenet, compared. And Spider-Man. And convoluted metaphors about art. And The View? A little culture talk. James has a delightful conspiracy theory. Who’s coming for the auteurs? Does culture need to decentralize? Can subcultures sustain us? The re-Lolapaloozing of Gen X.
Spoilers I guess.

Miss the regular updates? Yes, I'm here reminding you again we update the patreon feed regularly.
Wade has only seen one episode of Succession, so James and Hugh tread lightly to talk about what they like on the show every person seems to be talking about.
Check out the patreon where we go into a longer discussion on current tv including: Joe Pera, Misconceptions about Ronald D. Moore's apple space show For All Mankind, MORE Succession, and finally, Wade’s Discovery thoughts while Star Trek Resignation lingers.

Stick around til the end when Hugh revisits what we knew and didn't know about Terry Ferrel.
Initiate Arjin visits DS9 to whine! A baby universe. Voles! Jadzia gets an intern, or a trill up for joining who is surprised by the unorthodox Dax. Finally the "Is Jadzia Kurzon?" question is settled. Wade makes the argument this episode can serve as a meta-commentary on the character herself. OH, and there's a proto universe that gets batted around by muppet skinless cats. Are the moral implications of stepping on a universe of ants more deserving of an A plot than Jadzia's sex wrestling? Listen and decide for yourself!

It's another Remix of The ROA. Stick around til the end when Hugh talks bout Bolians.
Welcome to Space Mayberry! It's NOT a next generation rewrite? Go figure. Odo and Dax land on a planet that is NOT a TNG script. Quark is running shenanigans while Odo is gone. Will Kira get her swerve on? Yes she will. We love this writer, we... well, this ain't a bad episode.
-
We revisit a pretty good episode, and -because we're old now- Hugh reminds some listeners who Ted Kaczynski was.
Cool Hand Benjamin. Sisko and O’Brien crash land on a planet of space Luddites. More Space Amish? Nope. Space hippy cultists. But did this episode have a point that could have been explored more? Classic trek, where a Captain- er commander- is tortured to see what he is made of. But it’s not Cardassian torture this time- for once! We discuss how other captains might have dealt with the situation. And some O’Brien backstory! RambO’Brien Jason Bour’ien?
-
Things aren't what they seem for O'Brien. Is this a M. Night Sham, or is it like that Rick and Morty episode? Maybe Parallax View, or a certain most famous of scifi noirs? Just how would this plot play out as an episode of The Americans? Oh it's a mystery! Or is it? We slide stealthily into a nerd corner conversation on teleporters and cloning. Can Hugh get over his dislike for Colm Meaney's furrowed brow?
In the "remix" portion of the pod, Hugh looks back at the episodes of the other shows we talk about on the podcast.
-
Hugh revisits Armageddon Game, and also revisits A Stitch in Time, which came up in this episode.
More O'Brien and Bashir bromancing. Two races with ridiculous hair are the worsts hosts ever. How do they repay a favor? Kill the guys doing you a solid. Not cool, bro. After getting rid of what we're told is the ultimate doomsday weapon -but that appears a run of the mill biological weapon, with a name that doesn't describe what it does at all- Miles and Julian hide out in a bunker. Surprisingly NOT a rehashed TNG script. We talk Seuss, Babylon 5, and some redeeming qualities of this episode.
-
The ROA remixed!
Yeah, we're still doing these. The Rules of Acquisition may be over, but we'll still be looking back at it from time to time.
Hugh revisits The Alternate, and tries to see just what Wade was talking about here...
Odo's Dad! (kinda) Is this a horror movie? Father issues, the stuff popular filmed entertainment is made of! What happens when the DS9 crew goes to an abandoned planet, brings back an obelisk, and then tries to give every cast member a defining line while trying to recreate The Thing, or Alien? Does that screw up the third act? Wade does his damnedest to defend this episode.
-
We may have moved on from DS9, but Star Trek does still sometimes come up from time to time. Tired of waiting for episodes of the podcast? We talk a variety of subjects and update regularly for patrons.Here's a short conversation we had about Worf. Also for free on the patreon this week: you can hear some of our thoughts on the Loki Disney + show.
Patrons can hear even more.
