    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).

    Episode 86: Benjamin Sisko (SA 1×05 Series Acclimation Mil)

    Kev and Rob take one more turn around the pylons, and manage to do it without vomiting glitter as they consider “Series Acclimation Mil” (SA). They then look back on the character of Benjamin Sisko, as portrayed by Avery Brooks, including memorable outings in “In the Pale Moonlight” (DS9), “The Emissary” (DS9), “Sacrifice of Angels” (DS9) and “Rapture” (DS9).

    Episode 85: Understanding Klingons (SA 1×04 Vox In Excelso)

    Rob and Kev at first refused to appear in this episode because they both suspected the other was doing them a favour, but they had a debate competition about it and agreed enough blood had been spilled for the show to go on. While searching for ways to understand Klingons, they revisit "Errand of Mercy" (TOS), "Sins of the Father" (TNG), "Reunion" (TNG), "Redemption" (TNG), and "Redemption II" (TNG), as well as "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".

    Episode 84: Future Sports (SA 1×03 Vitus Reflux)

    Kev and Rob steal each other's deltas and end up as mascots on opposing Calica teams. At halftime, they discuss "Vitus Reflux" (SA), before being transported into the shallow pond of other futuristic sports seen throughout Star Trek history: Anbo-jyutsu (TNG), Springball (DS9), Parrises Squares (TNG, VOY, PRO), and Velocity (VOY).

    Episode 83: Starfleet Academy (SA 1×01-02)

    Rob and Kev emerge from regulation appearance arches, ready to fit right in among the first class of cadets to train at Starfleet Academy since the Burn. After taking in their surroundings, they discuss the recent audio drama series, “Star Trek: Khan”, and the premiere episodes of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, “Kids These Days” and “Beta Test”. They then hit the books, studying up on past appearances of the Academy grounds in “The First Duty” (TNG), “Homefront” (DS9), “In the Flesh” (VOY), "Star Trek” (2009), and “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan”.

    Episode 82: Pure Evil (SNW 3×10 New Life and New Civilizations)

    Kev and Rob agree the "log cabin timeline" is a nicer place to live than the rest of the Strange New Worlds season three finale, "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW). On the bright side, perhaps it will be the last time that "pure evil" is used as a plot device for awhile. We can only hope. Taking this last opportunity, they revisit other examples of evil in its purest form: "Skin of Evil" (TNG) and "The Most Toys" (TNG).

    Episode 81: Hostile Environments (SNW 3×09 Terrarium)

    Rob and Kev argue over who will cook the worm they found in a hole on the other side of a wormhole, then huddle by the light of a camp stove to discuss "Terrarium" (SNW). While they await their rescue-slash-murder, they compare notes on other instances of crashed enemies finding common ground in "Darmok" (TNG) and "Dawn" (ENT).

    Episode 80: Exes (SNW 3×08 Four-and-a-Half Vulcans)

    Rob and Kevin play cartoon versions of Vulcan versions of themselves with the help of their exes in "Four-and-a-Half Vulcans" (SNW). They then revisit past episodes where post-relationship relationships figured prominently in the stories of Starfleet officers, including "Haven" (TNG) and "Rejoined" (DS9).
