With our appreciation for your patience during a summer break, Allie and Sarah return to look ahead at the episode list to see what they remember from this upcoming season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Sarah regales Allie with tales of TrekFest 41 (2026) in Riverside, Iowa in an effort to convince her to come next year.
After dropping off the evacuees from Kizomic VI and a little dicking around at the starbase, the crew of the USS Hood depart for a routine mission studying an asteroid field. Nothing is routine on this silly podcast though, and soon we encounter the mysterious alien species once again.
With evacuations of the cloud city above Kizomic VI complicated by interdimensional beings hunting for food, the crew of the Hood continue evacuation efforts while trying to make contact with the alien species.
After a less than stellar performance investigating the Almighty Algorhythm, the USS Hood receives a 911 call from Kizomic VI. As the floating city of Cressida is under attack from creatures of unknown origin, the crew punches the Hood to plaid in order to evacuate the colonists.
While waiting for TNG to return, President of the Continuummm and Game Daddy Bruce leads us through the first episode of Star Trek: Adventures (2nd ed. Starter Set), “Puzzling the Will”. It’s been a many years since Sarah or Allie have played a TTRPG, and this one is definitely on par with early seasons of Star Trek.
Join Captain (or Commodore, if we forget) Nella Xen and Commander Xanthus th’Raviq on their first mission as the USS Hood (or Challenger, if we forget) is sucked into a massive alien construct.
The Federation is caught with its pants down when the Borg finally turn up on course for Earth. But when Captain Picard is chosen as Speaker of the Borg, Riker must assume command, try to stop a Borg invasion, AND attempt to rescue his friend and Captain.
The Enterprise saves an alien from death, an alien who turns out to have Space Jesus powers. But when the leaders of his world criminalize him as “a disruptive influence” threatening the natural order, Sarah and Allie recognize the familiar machinery of people in power treating marginalized identities as social contagions.
Episode writers Susan Sackett and Fred Bronson join us for this review and discussion of “Ménage à Troi”.
When a Ferengi falls ears over heels for Lwaxana Troi, she finds herself kidnapped along with Bill and Deanna. While Mrs. Troi distracts her captor with an earjob, Picard combines threats with Shakespeare to free her.
