Have you ever wondered why all the aliens in Star Trek have two eyes? Or two legs? Or two ears? Or two hearts? Wait...

Picard in love! When the captain falls for a lovely new crew member, he worries that his new relationship will begin to affect his job. Will it?

Plus, more flute music! It's just me in this episode, so if you can stand my solo's then you'll hear me discuss relationships in TNG, stellar cartography, and fire effects!

Die Hard! In space! While the Enterprise is undergoing routine maintenance, a terrorist group boards the ship and it's up to Picard to foil their plans. Meanwhile, Data studies small talk, and Geordi gets shot (yet again)! Christian is here to discuss "Starship Mine", and we discuss plot geography, saddle jokes, and loud whispering!

Data dreams, and Worf finds a prison camp!

Modi Operandus is here to discuss Romulan and Klingon relations, Data the painter, and James Cromwell under 30 pounds of make-up.

What if you could go back in time and fix your mistakes? Would you do it, or are you happy the way you are? When Picard is killed on an away mission, Q gives him that very choice!

Eric and Richard from the Trekabout podcast stop by to discuss Picard's Quantum Leap, what makes Q work, and promoting violence!

Don't you hate those mornings when you wake up surgically altered and part of a plan to aid the defection of high ranking politicians? I do, and so does Counselor Troi! A break out Troi episode, Face of the Enemy asks us to examine the Romulans, humans with Romulan haircuts, and Romulan technology. But is it any good? Modi stops by to discuss!

A promising mystery that devolves into one of our least favorite story lines: Geordi in love.

Moriarty returns! It's been a long time since season two, but now that the copyright dispute is over we can feature Sherlock Holmes characters again!

A memorable guest star, and a memorable torture sequence make for a memorable episode of Star Trek! When Picard is relieved of command of the Enterprise, his hard nosed replacement makes life on the ship difficult for Commander Riker.
