We open up this week’s episode with thoughts on spoilers and also wonder who Captain Picard’s booty calls might be before looking at TNG episode “The Pegasus,” from season 7. In another example of our Three’s a Good Number series turning into an accidental romp thru Romulan episodes, we briefly express our incredulity at the dumb treaty that prohibits Starfleet from developing cloaking technology. Emmanuel points out a lot of parallels to “The Icarus Factor,” and Laura is disturbed by the pretty dark implications about a Starfleet deep state. We both agree that Levar Burton as director brings the fast paced, tight storytelling we love with a good episode. We continue our musical tangents with a conversation about boy bands and Eminem.
