We’ve finished off a mid-morning snack and elevenses, and it appears to be time for lunch. Our UK, Canadian, and American panelists talk about the sandwich as holy center of lunch, but wouldn’t something deep fried be nice, too? Or a burrito? “The Holy Lunching Friars of Voondon claimed that just as lunch was at the center of a man’s temporal day, and man’s temporal day could be seen as an analogy for his spiritual life, so lunch should be seen as the centre of a man’s spiritual life, and be held in jolly nice restaurants.”—Douglas Adams, - Host Glenn Fleishman with Annette Wierstra, Antony Johnston, Chris Phin, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign and James Thomson.

Dan Moren, three time novelist and guy who talks on the Internet a lot, joins Scott to discuss "Encounter at Farpoint" (TNG S1E1). Topics include Dan's new book (buy it!), how our beloved TNG friends changed over the course of 7 seasons, and if this episode was as bad as we remember it being, and the fact that Farpoint Station isn't a space station. - Host Scott McNulty with Dan Moren.

Despite all of the pandemic’s distractions—we made it, everybody! Join the full crew as we celebrate Ashford’s blaze of glory; consider a season finale that is 10 percent resolution, 50 percent complication, 40 percent setup for Season 5; and spend a disproportionate time lovingly nitpicking Season 4 to death. We love The Expanse, but what worked and didn’t this time around? We’ll be back occasionally between seasons, probably taking our first steps into the printed universe…. - Host Chip Sudderth, Warren Frey, Kayti Burt and Jen Burt.

We’re going back to school this week, as we recap the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow in which the fate of the universe hangs upon a…beer pong game? Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we revisit recent episodes of The Flash and talk about the reshuffling of superhero schedules. Finally, in our Letters Page, we get musical before we wax philosophical about the pandemic. Lian Yu will live forever in our hearts, so why not get a commemorative t-shirt?

Myke doesn’t understand that we needed to save the whales in the ’80s. - Host Myke Hurley with Jason Snell.

In a special crossover episode, we’re joined by Scott McNulty, host of a “Murder, She Wrote” podcast that doesn’t exist (yet?), to discuss Magnum meeting Jessica Fletcher in a special two-show episode. These episodes feature lanai PCs, crowbars, Sheraton lobbies, an endless B-plot involving Rick and T.C.’s shady Maui land deal, and not nearly enough fun crossover interplay between the characters of two legendary 1980s CBS series. Also, the plot makes zero sense. - Host Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr with Scott McNulty.

Everyone loves a good boat trip. - Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Jane Ritt, Mikah Sargent, Erika Ensign and Dan Moren.
