When Captain Picard sets off on the D’s maiden voyage, his mission to open trade negotiations with the Bandi gets interrupted by the Q. But after Commander Riker realizes that Farpoint Station is too good to be true, Counselor Troi breaks out the thesaurus to help solve the crew’s first space mystery. Who is not at all prepared for this assignment? Which movie stills were on the mood board for the post-atomic horror? What exactly is wrong with the Lego D model? It’s the episode that hasn’t exactly figured things out yet.

4 May 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 1 minuteBespoke Squeegee (Q&A with Ben & Adam)
When we’ve reached the end of an era and only three packages remain, their contribution to the show’s well-documented problems makes it clear it’s time to turn off auto-renew. But after a bunch of FoD questions elicit some new ideas for the show, it seems we’re ready for 10 more years of indigestion and loose stool. Which type of museum would Ben and Adam open? What do wormhole aliens not care about at all? Who does Starfleet need to get into a uniform? It’s the episode that paints a Godfather-like scene.

6 April 2026, 7:00 am - 56 minutes 45 secondsHe Had Some Good Ideas Also (ENT Series Wrap)
When it’s time to wrap-up coverage of the series no one watched on TV, looking back at the show’s characters reveals an endearing crew and a capable cast. But after realizing that Enterprise might just be Star Trek Voyager with a bad captain, it raises questions like how are T’Pol and Seven the same and how are Phlox and Neelix different. Which character might as well like owls? How is an assignment on the NX-01 like working at Uxbridge-Shimoda? What is a TV show’s Vice President? It’s the episode that got some warm fuzzies.

When the Entrepreneur encounters an Orion ship, its captain makes an offer that the crew can’t refuse. But after Archer figures out who’s really in charge, Tucker and T’Pol use their pheromonal immunity to save the ship. When is slavery like a bathroom? How is the EPS system like an ATM machine? Whose auction price can be compared to everything? It’s the very horny episode that’s red meat for a Star Trek teen.
