A prank war serves as the perfect vehicle for imparting valuable life lessons. Join your botanically-inclined hosts as they discuss the long-desired return to lower-stakes storytelling, this show's propensity for combining naturalistic interactions with cleverly-structured plots, and how focusing on students provides a setting for exploring a variety of fresh storylines in the Star Trek universe. We also eff and jeff a lot, with perhaps one too many references to feces (human and otherwise). Do not miss this episode!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of Starfleet Academy with our discussion of "Vox In Excelso"

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
