Our fantastic crew dives deep into Trek in this week's episode and get deep in our discussion over the trauma that Picard experiences throughout the run of TNG on television and on the big screen. We also talk about the cost of leading affectively and what that looks like. This is, perhaps, the most personal episode yet as we share who influences us in our own lives.

Cristian Fox leads this week's discussion surrounding the very important question of whether the ends ever justifies the means, especially when thinking about the Star Trek universe.  We discuss several episodes from Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager in this week's episode.  This discussion gets serious, but we hope you have fun listening and engaging with this week's discussion because we are four of the most passionate Trek fans around and we have opinions!

NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the Russian incursion into Ukraine.  We talk heavily about war in this episode and even mention Russia by name.  We make comparisons based on the stories in Trek of association for the sake of our discussion.  We are releasing this episode with great sensitivity to what is happening in Europe and would like to simply state that we, as a podcasting team, are against the invasion of a sovereign people over another.

This week we dive into the Star Wars universe and discuss whether or not it is true sci-fi.  Steve leads us through hyperspace as we get a little lively about our feelings positive and negative towards this incredibly deep and rich franchise in entertainment.  You'll hear some great stories and debate as a bunch of Star Trek fans, who happen to be Star Wars fans as well, talk about the rival of our beloved Trek!  You'll laugh and reminisce with us as we have fun being together again to talk sci-fi.

This inaugural episode introduces our hosts as we talk about ourselves and our favorites inside and outside of Trek. The discussion is fun and entertaining as we go all around the sci-fi universe in describing our fandom. We also talk about TNG and DS9's portrayal of Worf's parenting style. In addition, we learn of an incredible sci-fi series of the past from the self-proclaimed "old guy" of our crew.
