This week, Alice and Skyler are detouring from DS9 with another Danny Solomon-led BLOCKBUSTER return to The Next Generation to rank the times other members of the crew filled in for Picard. Together, they discuss rushing into the sun, what Garret's up to, the need for space gossip, where Geordi's rizz is, ensigns forgetting their place, how King Ralph surely influenced TNG, the kinds of sports references Alice and Skyler can grasp, getting cancelled for anti-android bias, how the Klingons even get through the day given all their warring, Danny's upcoming grab-bag episode concepts, and much, much more. Listen!!
