As the premise for the Star Trek: The Next Generation pilot episode was hashed out, Supervising Producer Bob Justman sent Gene Roddenberry a memo asking that he consider the social and psychological effects of sending a crew of families on a lifelong journey. We are joined in this episode by someone who was there from the very start, Dorothy "D.C." Fontana, to share her insights into what made TNG tick.

The last piece of the puzzle falls into place as Nadine searches for answers. In this episode you'll get more tips on how to hunt for monsters and seek out the truth. We turn our attention to the skies above Chicago and the trees on the Solomon Islands for a lively "bat chat."

The kids finally arrive at Vandenberg but the journey's not over. In this episode we'll show you how to sort out fake truths from real fakes, and "truthier trues" from less "truthier trues" (to start, stop using the word "impossible"). Yes, that sounds impossible...but it's probably not. Also we'll answer the question: Should you trust your best friend?

Our whole crew discusses the second half of of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery - both the positive and the problematic.  And we speculate just a little bit about Season 2.
