This week, the crew beams into one of the most beloved Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes… and Joe is not having it. While the rest of the galaxy clutches their Kleenex and calls it a masterpiece, Joe boldly goes where few fans dare: calling The Inner Light overrated! Is it a touching meditation on life and legacy, or just a glorified flute recital with a side of dream logic?Join Joe, Jason, and the gang as they dissect Picard’s alternate life as Kamin, debate the emotional weight versus narrative convenience, and ask the hard question: does this episode really deserve its pedestal, or is it just Trek’s artsy detour that gets more credit than it earns?Spoiler alert: Joe’s flute is out of tune, and he’s not afraid to play it.
Welcome back to the Captain’s Quadrant, where warp speed opinions meet photon torpedo-level takes! Today, Jason Roy Gaston and VHS Jase beam into the Kelvin timeline to dissect the third installment of the rebooted Star Trek franchise: Star Trek Beyond.

Star Trek Beyond boldly goes where Into Darkness stumbled. With Justin Lin at the helm and Simon Pegg co-writing, this entry trades convoluted villain reveals for classic Trek vibes: exploration, camaraderie, and a dash of philosophical musing. The Enterprise crew is stranded, the stakes are personal, and the villain Krall (Idris Elba) brings a gritty menace that feels earned.
Chris Pine channels a more seasoned Kirk, balancing swagger with introspection.
Zachary Quinto’s Spock is emotionally layered, especially in scenes with Karl Urban’s McCoy—who absolutely steals the show.
Sofia Boutella’s Jaylah is a breakout star, giving the franchise a fresh, fierce energy.
Jason Roy Gaston notes: “This is the most ‘Star Trek’ of the Kelvin movies—it’s not trying to be Star Wars, it’s trying to be Starfleet.”
VHS Jase adds: “Jaylah is the MVP. She’s got the attitude of a rogue and the heart of a Federation officer.”
Lin’s action chops shine in kinetic sequences, but it’s the quieter moments—like Kirk’s reflection on his father’s legacy—that give this film warp core depth. The visuals are stunning, the score (with a killer Beastie Boys callback) pumps adrenaline, and the pacing never drags.
Absolutely. Beyond feels like a love letter to The Original Series while still pushing the Kelvin timeline forward. It’s not perfect—Krall’s backstory could use more polish—but it’s a thrilling, heartfelt ride.

Jason Roy Gaston: “It’s Trek with soul. That’s what matters.” VHS Jase: “I’d rewatch this over Into Darkness any day. It’s got heart, humor, and high stakes.”
