When a Starfleet propulsion expert comes aboard with an alien assistant, Commander Riker isn’t buying any of their bullshit. But after his experiment goes wrong and the Entrepreneur is stranded far from home, the very chill Traveller takes an interest in Wesley and helps bring the ship back safely. How is the piper paid? Does a starship use car math or boat math? Who is the Rudy of this story? It’s the episode with a little bit of terror mixed into the benign.

But when Riker expresses a little too much enthusiasm for the Ferengi way of life, he gets banished to the engine room. What’s on the business end of a ball-kicking machine? How could Ben put Adam into cardiac arrest? How do you cover up literally any editing mistake? It’s the episode with shades of yellow.

Which uncle-related landmine did we not manage to avoid? What’s the opposite of Alien vs Predator? It’s the episode that’s willing to defend itself.

Who is not at all prepared for this assignment? Which movie stills were on the mood board for the post-atomic horror? What exactly is wrong with the Lego D model? It’s the episode that hasn’t exactly figured things out yet.

When we’ve reached the end of an era and only three packages remain, their contribution to the show’s well-documented problems makes it clear it’s time to turn off auto-renew. But after a bunch of FoD questions elicit some new ideas for the show, it seems we’re ready for 10 more years of indigestion and loose stool. Which type of museum would Ben and Adam open? What do wormhole aliens not care about at all? Who does Starfleet need to get into a uniform? It’s the episode that paints a Godfather-like scene.

What is Cyrus sorry-not-sorry for? Which employee hasn’t lost their fastball? It’s the episode that gives you thoughtful Ben and Adam.
