This week, Mike and Johnson shared their unbridled enthusiasm for "I, Excretus," which they both think might be the best Lower Decks episode of the entire season. This episode has us hanging out with both the lower and upper deckers, while they try to put themselves in each others' shoes - and isn't it about time that someone gave Boimler a promotion?

We also chat briefly about the first novel in the Star Trek: Coda trilogy, Moments Asunder. Mike thinks that it might be the most exciting line-up of Star Trek novels since Destiny, while Johnson has only started to crack open the first book. At least we won't have to wait long for the finale!

We would love to hear from you! You can reach us by emailing [email protected] – drop us a note, comment, or question. Just don’t be mean – though if you are, we might ignore you!

You can also check us out on social media, which we promise to update once in a while:
