July 26, 20177: Clip Show – Chipotle and the Holodeck
While Mario was on an away mission to Comic-Con, we put together a clip show of deleted scenes from episodes 1-6! We explore what would happen if holodecks were real, the proclivities of certain face-tattoo’d crew members, and human-avian relations. Note that the safety protocols are disabled for this episode (in other words, super NSFW).
