After a brief "Star Trek" detour, we're back to our "Alien Nation" rewatch with 1.12 "The Red Room," an episode that explores another dark secret in George Francisco's past.

- What did Nick like so much about the Monopoly scene?

- What did Todd notice & appreciate so much about the episode?

- What is special about this week's medical examiner character and the actress that plays her?

- In what ways does this episode explore the growing friendship (and possibly more) between Matt & Cathy, and what was illogical about some of Matt's reactions this week?

- What scenes had seemingly bad police procedures?

- What things did both co-hosts like from George's hypnosis scene?

- What nitpicks did Nick have involving animals, keyboards, teasing, and hypocrisy?

- Was there anything notable and the writing, directing, locations, or casting, this week?

- What brand new weekly segment did Todd introduce, based on something he got for Christmas (well, almost weekly; he forgot it one week, possibly the week right after introducing it)?

- And, how well did this week's episode explore psychology, government agencies, and technology?

Listen now for the answers to these and other mind-altering questions, as we investigate..."The Red Room."
