"Before we move forward, the cycle must end."

Happy 4/20, Trek in the Vallites. I hope you aren't too honked out on that super dank greenage, because if you are, this episode is going to straight to your dome, bro. There is a strong possibility, you will flip your lid.

This week, Adam and Al cover the Star Trek: TNG episode "Time Squared". This episode has twice the Picard and not enough Data. We do get to see Picard come face to face with his greatest fear; that he may actually be a terrified little baby coward man. How is team Enterprise going to deal with a Picard time clone that comes as a possible harbinger to their destruction? With grace and tact, that's how.

"I don't believe this dialog. Did humans really talk like that?"

The Enterprise gets a tip, from the Klingons of all space people, regarding the remains of a straaaaaange vessel. Adam and Al are here to tell you about it. In the Star Trek: TNG episode, "The Royale", we get another entry in the "Holodeck w/o Holodeck" sub-genre of Star Trek episodes AND the "Crew Finds Some Nasa Crap" sub-genre. The writers went, "we want to have the crew in an old timey Atlantic City hotel, but we can't go back the holodeck. What if the crew finds a holodeck somewhere else? Also, Nasa crap? Now we're cooking with grease."

"Fate...protects fools, and little children and ships named Enterprise."

You're telling me that they don't have computer viruses figured out hundreds of years in the future? This week Adam and Al cover Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Contagion." The Enterprise crew runs a foul of an ancient computer virus. It seems like the Enterprise's sister ship may have clicked on some questionable pop-ups. This episode is a certified good time.

"Go to her door. Beg like a Human."

We have another Wesley episode. Adam and Al are able to put a lid on their cliched loathing of Wesley to discuss Star Trek: TNG Season 2 Episode 10, "The Dauphin". The guys never get around to figuring out what a Dauphin is because Adam is too distracted by all the rad bug-eyed costumes.

"I am the culmination of one man's dream. This is not ego or vanity. If, by your experiments, I am destroyed, something unique – something wonderful – will be lost. I cannot permit that. I must protect his dream."

WOWIE Trek in the Vallites. This one is a double dog doozy. We start with Al discussing how he is in the process of playing the field for a new guru, and then that segues nicely into this philosophy heavy episode of Star Trek: TNG, "The Measure of a Man."

The guys talk about how wild it is that the Federation has an officer more racist against robots than Pulaski, how Data isn't property, and how Riker is just too dang good at his job. Come along with us as we recap this episode that will scratch your brain and tug at your heartstrings.

"'Dear Trek in the Vallites,

We hope this missive is finding you well. This week we have placed, in this glass bottle you have found on the beach that is your podcast app. The water of...podcasts lapping against the podcast...shores...

Time is short and I need to get this message in the water. Please! Listen to Adam and Al discuss Season 2 Ep 8 of TNG, 'A Matter of Honor.' Before the guards find me, I need to let you now that this episode is an absolute banger. Matter of Honor examines the dichotomy between a Benzite ensign on the Enterprise, and a human first officer assigned to a Klingon ship. Adam and Al absolute crack each other up covering-"'

'At this point, the letter deteriorates, but as you can see here, the paper on which it was printed clearly came from a big box store of the era. Now, class we need to move on to the experiments lab so you can check on your ant farms before lunch!'

"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.
