While beginning in medias res our Lower Deck heroes think themselves to be on trial and forced to tell their side of a covert mission.

Will [REDACTED] ever [REDACTED]? Is it truly that easy to outwit Q? It's the episode that tells a tale while questioning authority.

Unfrozen Caveman Eugenicist (TAS S1E2 / S1E7) Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

With the first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks on the precipice of The Greatest Discovery, Adam and Ben once again take a look at past animated Trek. But what happens when a show that on the surface feels like it’s for children, in turn, has some very adult themes? Will time traveling portals continue to be a thing? How much can you expect of an artichoke alien? Will we learn about even more of Spock’s family tree? It’s the episode that draws a conclusion but doesn’t draw a mouth!
