Matt and Andy are back, and this time they're bringing a doc! The boys take a look at William Shatner's joyful turning over of the the rock of the first season of Next Generation to discuss all the creepy-crawly characters who played a part like Gene Rodenberry's hilarious scheming lawyer.

The Enterprise demonstrates why you shouldn't bring kids on a starship. Andy's theories about Wesley gain more credence and Matt wishes there was a Star Trek theme park.

When you get old, does someone just throw oatmeal on your face? Mira and Secunda wade through the mushy oatmeal of a plot that can best be summarized thusly: “The Enterprise is dispatched to deliver overacting to a planet experiencing 40 years civil war peace”

A binary race called the Bynars (!) visits, Andy ships "Rikard," and a fan puts Matt in his head about using "guys" too much.

The crew visits Angel One. A planet where men have no say in political or social occurrences. Somehow Andy doesn't have any theories, so Matt steps in. Because he's the best.

Andy and Matt deconstruct the introduction of Data's brother Lore. Meanwhile, Andy has a theory and Matt wants to know if you can draw.

Picard loses his freakin' mind over standard holodeck technology while visiting the 1930s. Matt denied he wrote last week's episode description in an obvious attempt to get his own theme song, but his efforts were pretty transparent, in my opinion. Hey, it's not my fault I'm a dynamic podcast personality who inspires musical brilliance.

Troi almost gets married and a tractor beam saves the day. Matt has an "Andy's theory" but no theme music of his own. I tried hard to write this description to save Andy the trouble, though he thinks I wrote this description just to have someone make me a theme song.

The boys are a little punchy and Riker's a little omnipotent.
