We're back to just talking about one episode of Star Trek, but somehow this podcast episode still ended up being an hour and forty minutes? :| This week, we talk about a bit of Star Trek news, including our first looks at some of Strange New World's new characters. We then head into "Watcher," which sets up some new mysteries for us to unpack in this season of Picard. Mike and Johnson have some disagreements (surprise) about this episode's social commentary, and about Young Guinan. Johnson insists that the 10 Forward bar makes no sense.

While it's been a while, we also chat about some off topic - including Season 2 of Bridgerton, the season finale of The Gilded Age, and the first Episode of Halo.
