Just how many Easter eggs, deep cuts and call backs can one pack into a 25 minute Star Trek episode? A lot! A LOT a lot!
This week we tackle Star Trek: Lower Decks' second episode "Envoys" which has a bevy of alien races from the TNG era Klingons, to the original animated series shape shifters to alien centaurs that were just out of focus blobs in the Federation council scene from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
But it's not all eye candy, there's a true Star Trek story at the heart of all the fan service. We also discuss the causal racism Starfleet officers seem to have towards the Ferengi. And we ask our audience "What would your cybernetic implant do, and which species created it?"
So join was as we slowly slip into ASMR while quoting the Wrath of Khan. "Buried alive….buried alive!"
