Jet and Jen are back, along with the Lower Dorks hosts, who actively despise both! Just, you know, in a really loving way. The hosts also cover Ransom's command style, comment on the possibility of tiny starships, and everything else having to do with The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel!

The Lower Dorks hosts are very into the last episode of the season! We talk about Locarno and how he makes for an awesome villain, panic at all the cool new ships that we wish we had time to talk about (especially the Orion ones!) and lament the changes to Tenderford. And how many towel-clad lower deckers ARE there, anyway?

We've also learned after we recorded this episode that the ship Mariner pilots in this episode is a new ship type is a small version of the Steamrunner class, the Sabrerunner! Aaron still doesn't like it, though.
