"Looks like they had a battle with time…" "…and lost."

This week, yet another Starfleet crew finds themselves onboard a ship possessed by the beach that makes you old! Rapid aging is an oft visited trope in Star Trek and this episode hits all the right notes; awesome and hilarious old age makeup, using the transporter to fix everything like magic, and illegal genetic experiments that nobody seems to care about! Give a listen as the dudes in the Valley cover Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Unnatural Selection."

“When I stroke my beard thusly, do I not appear more intellectual?”

Listen, this is very serious. A serious thing happened in this week's episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In "The Schizoid Man", Data proves that he truly has the humanity of a common rube as he basically tells his grandpa how to kill him. Adam and Al will help make sense of this absolutely sick and twisted story of possession and desire.

"They have been killing each other for a long time. Now they want to talk peace. So, something about the situation has recently changed. What's the new piece to the puzzle?"

Hey Folks. This one is wild. We are covering a classic Troi-centered episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Loud as a Whisper". The Enterprise transports a very unique negotiator to help warring factions on a planet out there in the outer space somewhere.

This guy is a negotiating genius and he has a disability that gives the writers the ability to discuss themes of disability and communication and patience. Also, these themes hit close to the visor for Geordi who has some very tough decisions to make! The storytelling is clumsy at times, but ultimately, it seems like they land fairly close to the right side of history. Don't yell at us.
