While he's harassed by a super evolved being named the Q, the crew, particularly Fearless Flyer, get's super concerned that we need to call HR. 

    What does Star Fleet say in the handbook for harassment?

    Teen Wolf - Howling For You

    HellOOoooOOOOoo Frequent Flyers, and Welcome aboard our 99th episode, Teen Wolf.

    We're back in High School, and it's as tough as ever. Sometimes you just don't fit in, and it has nothing to do with the time you went crawling through the woods with your bestie looking for half a corpse and then got bitten by a werewolf. 

    Ok, maybe it has something to do with that.  But look, puberty is tough - you get hair in places there wasn't hair before...and...wow that's...everywhere. Your palms? Bro...

    And you start to notice people in a different way. Like the new girl in class, whose dad shot you with a crossbolt...and...

    damn Wolfager, puberty super sucks for you.

    Crazyhead - Hell is Other People

    Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 95th Flight, Crazyhead.

    You know that feeling when you're in a club with your bestie, and all of the sudden some dude who looks like he's on fire from the inside out starts trying to hunt you down and you gotta run? Remember those good days? No? What about the bit where your bestie becomes possessed and tries to strangle you with the belt she loaned you? Not ringing any bells? Geeze. What about the exorcism of said friend? That’s gotta be a relatable early 20’s experience. This is all bog standard far as I’m concerned. Maybe you need to double check your ticket, because this is a plane that’s on the airway to hell.

    Riverdale - Dear Double Digest

    Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 94th flight, Riverdale.

    Idyllic Riverdale is nothing like you remember. Scandal, intrigue, and betrayal lurks in every corner; from Pop's chocolate shop to Archie's guitar lessons. A death starts the school year, and there's a new kid in town, Veronica Lodge. What do these changes mean for our Double Digest dearests? Will Betty win the boy, or self respect, or her sister Polly? Will Archie overcome the machinations of a person he should have trusted? Will Josie and the Pussycats get signed?

    By the end, you'll wish you were Tracy Chapman, singin' Fast Car and speeding out of town in Archie's old Jalopy, because death is literally just the beginning of this show.

    Fraiser - Cheers to Change

    Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 92nd flight, Fraiser.

    Change is inevitable, seasons, Starbucks flavours, the showing at the Opera. But that doesn't make it easy, in fact, it could be the hardest thing in the world, right up there with your less-mobile father moving in with his hideous couch, his freaky dog, and his 'no-talking-about-emotions' to his physiatrist son, Fraiser Crane. 

    But surely change can be good - maybe La Traviata isn't your jam, maybe The Magic Flute is more your style, or a psychic live-in assistant.

    A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Perilous Pilot

    This flight is not like other flights, there is no safety pamphlet in the seat ahead of you, there is merely our 91st flight, A Series of Unfortunate Events.

    Unlike other pilots, which focus on the ups and downs of life, you'll find that the Baudelaires experience more downs than a broken roller coaster in the Grand Canyon, and more suffering than a man married to a lobster, but desperately allergic to shellfish.

    We will follow the Baudelaire children on their journey, as they try to piece together a mystery involving their extremely flammable and deceased parents, and the menacing Count Olaf, an actor. And potentially a murderer. Which is worse?

    Those that are faint of heart are advised to look away.
