But why?! Why deep dive Star Trek V? The answer is simple: The SNP Crew haven't done so yet, and we're keeping the Lower Decks spirit alive with an episode that is filled with good times and shenanigans!

From the film's plagued pre-production and lackluster visual effects to a script that is more concept than something completely fleshed out. And, of course, the questionable decision to have William Shatner direct, the crew break it down The Final Frontier as best as possible.
