Data's head is found in cave! It was put there... 500 years ago! In this season finale cliffhanger, Data travels back in time to 19th century Earth and rips off a plot line from the Original Series. Clay is here to break down bellhops, paper mache aliens, and soul eaters! That's it for season five, see you in season six!

We invite you to listen to our podcast, as long as you don't mind us playing the flute for about an hour or so? The Inner Light is a classic episode of Trek, but does it deserve its celebrated status? Was there ever a Kamin? Is Picard a superhuman? Clay is here to discuss losing 40 years, actor's children, and doctors treating patients on the floor!

Even ignoring the excellent title, "The Next Phase" is a solid science fiction story built from a terrific script. Geordi and Ro Laren are "phased out" and everyone thinks they're dead! Will Data be able to stumble into a solution? Modi is here to break down plot holes, Trek spirituality, and funeral services!

The Borg are back! We haven't seen them since The Best of Both Worlds, so how would TNG deal with bringing back an unstoppable juggernaut as a recurring villain? Wouldn't Hugh like to know! Trekabout returns to the show to discuss Borg biology, Angry Guinan, and character foils!

We've all been lonely before, right? And who among us hasn't created an imaginary friend? And how many of those imaginary friends haven't turned into physical manifestations of an alien presence? I thought so! Modi stops by to discuss nebulae, Worf's useless scenes, and child actors!

A telepathic metamorph boards the Enterprise and is a huge cock tease! Riker might be a lost cause, but can Picard resist the charms of this beautiful woman, one who was raised to be the "perfect" mate? He better damn well try! Christian stops by to discuss the end game, holodeck clean up, and future X-Men.

Lwaxana! Alexander! In the same episode! And you know what? It's not that bad. When alien parasites start to devour the ship, Lwaxana decides to get married! And no, it doesn't make any more sense in context!

They were trying to ignite the plasma! When Welsey Crusher gets up to some zany antics at Starfleet Academy, only Picard can talk some sense into the young cadet!

It's that episode where the Enterprise blows up! It's that episode where the Enterprise blows up! It's that episode where the Enterprise... blows up? Clay, is this that episode where... the ship... blows up?

Finally, Riker meets someone who can make him blush! When the crew encounters an androgynous race, Rikers fierce masculinity inspires love and Prime Directive complications! It's the TNG episode "about" gay rights, and Clay is here to break down what works and what doesn't!
