Episode 91: Mothers (SA 1×10 Rubincon)

Kevin and Rob tear their recording studio apart to stage a show trial for the future of the Star Trek franchise as they discuss "Rubincon" (SA), before looking back on a couple of past episodes dealing with mothers and motherhood, "Dark Page" (TNG) and "Shattered Mirror" (DS9). Finally, before signing off for the hiatus, they briefly discuss the future of the Star Trek franchise and their hopes for what it may look like.

Episode 90: Saucer Separation (SA 1×09 300th Night)

Rob and Kevin agree to split up and record two separate podcasts about "300th Night" (SA), before reuniting for a manual docking at Farpoint Station to discuss other appearances of saucer separation in "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG), "The Arsenal of Freedom" (TNG), "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II" (TNG), and "Star Trek Generations".

Episode 89: Theatre (SA 1×08 The Life of the Stars)

Kev and Rob decide to stage this week's episode of the podcast, discussing "The Life of the Stars" (SA) as a piece of amateur theatre in a spare conference room on board the ship. They then reflect on other adventures upon the stage from episodes past, "The Conscience of the King" (TOS) and "Frame of Mind" (TNG).

Episode 88: Alone on the Bridge (SA 1×07 Ko'Zeine)

Kev and Rob agree to be each other's best men to pass the time while reflecting on the somewhat uneven (and uneventful) outing that was “Ko'Zeine” (SA). To ward off the hallucinations caused by warp slug, they discuss past episodes where characters found themselves alone on the bridge of a starship: "The Mark of Gideon" (TOS), “One” (VOY), “Relics” (TNG), and “Singularity” (ENT).

Episode 87: Sentient starship computers (SA 1×06 Come, Let's Away)

Rob and Kev take a completely uneventful field trip that goes 100% according to plan as they discuss “Come, Let's Away” (SA), then look back on other episodes where the ship's computer developed a personality and apparent consciousness of its own. They discuss “Tomorrow is Yesterday” (TOS), “The Practical Joker” (TAS), “Emergence” (TNG), and “…But to Connect” (DIS).
