Something's not right this episode as we spar with the classic TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise"! We're joined by the Cult of the Month creator, the Right Reverend [REDACTED] Ryan Richards for a discussion of one of the Next Generation's most influential episodes, and we cover the lack of resuscitation in Star Trek, whether our universe is a PvP server, and discuss whether there's a Mrs. Castillo back in 2344. Join us for an engaging chat about one of Star Trek's most influential episodes!

It's undeniably the most famous episode of the original series and author and podcaster Scott Pearson is onboard to help us answer the most puzzling question of the episode: why is everyone suddenly so knowledgeable about grain?
