First Contact! Wow, that got philosophical real fast! The episode itself is pretty great, a first contact episode from the perspective of other aliens meeting the Federation. But what started as a usual episode recap turned into discussions about political power, proof of aliens, religion, the Cold War, even random mathematical concepts like fast Fourier transforms! What led us down that rabbit hole? Tune in to find out!

Devil's Due! The Devil skips Georgia and heads straight to Star Trek, where she decides to take over a whole planet and (unsuccessfully) seduce Picard. But is she nothing but a flim-flam artist? The answer is yes. Scott joins us once again as we take another deep dive into a religiously charged episode!

The Wounded! Basically, it's Apocalypse Now, but in space! And with Miles O'Brien as Martin Sheen! Will it be as poignant? I dunno, but we'll at least definitely get some weird marriage moments between Miles and Keiko, who apparently are just meeting each other for the first time! What a story, Miles!

Data's Day! Boy, we went on a TON of tangents this week! But in our defense, it was a while since we'd recorded, and Data's Day itself is full of tangents! There's tap dancing, a baby birthing, some barbershop banter, some gift shopping, but I don't care about what Romulans betrayed what Federation ambassadors, I'm here to save a wedding! Also, Jasmin's back to discuss her favorite TNG character with us! Hooray!

The Loss! Will we actually get a nice Deanna Troi-centric episode for once? Can a small idea be well-written and stretched out as a character story? Will the A story be dramatically overshadowed in terms of importance by the B story? The answers probably won't surprise you! Or will they?! Let's see how we can spin an hour-long yarn out of nothing!

Final Mission! *insert Poochy joke here* Unfortunately, the producers of TNG weren't treating Wil Wheaton very well, so he decided to leave. But hey, at least it was a much better send-off than for Denise Crosby! But were the emotional highs earned? And why is Riker spending so much time dealing with a garbage barge? Oh, because it's radioactive, fair enough.

Future Imperfect! What if the crew of the Enterprise did a cool anime-style time skip, but Riker missed out?! That's the plot of this episode! Or is it?! More father-son issues! Nightmare on Elm Street/Inception references! They were trying to be perfect men in an imperfect time! Oh wait no, that's a weird random Dark Knight reference. Where were we? Mac and Me? Uh, tune in to find out!

Reunion! Worf's old Katherine Hepburn-esque flame returns, with a surprise kid in tow! But get that kid outta the way, will Worf and K'Ehleyr get back together? Will the Klingon Empire survive the next election? Will Picard be able to put up with all of it? And what about that Donald Trump Jr. guy, are we finally going to deal with him or what? Also, GOWRON! EYES! Don't miss it!
