The wrap-up, listener questions, and the announcement of the next book.  Thankfully our mission was not continuing.

As we expected, the final chapters of this book break down pretty simply.  A satisfying if somewhat short conclusion, along with a little more Worferine (which is our preferred ship name for the Worf/Wolverine bromance abrewin’).

Wait, seriously?  Are we this close to done?  It seems like the part where anything cool happens didn’t happen.  Oh well, we’re in wrap up mode, and if you were Patton Oswalt or something, all wanting to finally see the moment where Xavier and Picard virtually meet, well that’s in here, at least.

At this point I’m starting to long for the extreme action of a mid-season TNG episode or one of those really wordy Bendis X-Men issues.  Sure, there’s stuff going on, but the pace!

Shadowcat enters and promptly leaves the fray!  Data turns out to be some sort of alarming mechano-man!  And Crusher has a dumb holodeck plan!  It’s all going beautifully here.

The fight rages on!  So much transporting and phaser fighting and descriptions of the super cool powers of two of the definitely coolest X-Men, Banshee and… uhhh well Archangel.  In a series of hallways.

Holy cow the villains!  We have villains!  They’re improbably stereotypical (gross monsters called the Draa’kon that kill each other for failure?  Come the fuck on), but we sure did finally get to see them!

Mysterious aliens arrive and start messing with our transformed friends on Xhaldia!  Meanwhile Shadowcat is apparently just wandering through the walls of the Enterprise because X-Men, like wizards, have no sense of right and wrong.

The pride and craftsmanship our author takes in the simple act of a “Wolverine drinks some prune juice” gag is more obvious and satisfactory than any sense of accomplishment either of us has ever felt.  And we also wrote a book!  Full of gags!  Anyway, this time a whole lot of nothing happens!  Hope you like nothing!

The X-Trek revolution commences!  Erid and his erstwhile mutant family take to the hills and then take over a slum, while … well Dr. Crusher is taking cursory looks at whatever’s up with Archangel.  Also Worf and Wolverine fight Turricans and Axelays in the holodeck (just kidding, those are video games).
