January 27, 2020 Star Trek: Picard, Episode 1 - Remembrance
We kick off Season 4 by discussing the incredibly anticipated, long-awaited, wildest-dreamed-of premiere of Star Trek: Picard!
We'll be back to our usual alternating weeks of Geek Card Check-Ins started next week, then covering big shows and movies and looking back on those pieces of essential Geek pop culture that made us who we are today.
So, we won't be covering Picard week-to-week (though I suspect we'll have a hard time resisting the urge to talk about it during our Check-Ins). But, Tyler is reviewing them on www.readysteadycut.com. Here's the link to that tag: https://readysteadycut.com/tag/star-trek-picard/ Keep up with the conversation there and with us all on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram!
