Kevin and Rob are barely audible to each other on account of being separated by a wormhole and a year of time displacement. Nevertheless, Kevin is able to share his experience of visiting the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour in Ticonderoga, NY before they dive in to “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” (SNW), as well as two other episodes featuring fragile comms links: “Pen Pals” (TNG) and “Eye of the Needle” (VOY).SNW 4×10 Tomorrow's Enterprise TNG 3×15 Yesterday's Enterprise Star Trek: The

Rob and Kevin discover their respective dogs are magical doppelgangers of each other, and decide to merge their personalities into a potion that makes you a dragon or grants you peace and happiness or something.

Kevin and Rob refuse to follow each other’s orders at a critical moment that permits the escape of a cloaked ship, which gives them plenty of time to discuss “Orders of Magnitude” (SNW). To ward off future such misadventures, they review some past occurrences of mutiny in “Turnabout Intruder” (TOS) and “Worst Case Scenario” (VOY).SNW 4×08 Orders of Magnitude Episode 47: Cave Episodes (LD 4×08 Caves) George Kirk James T.

Rob and Kevin take the week off. Actually, it was meant to be just a long weekend, but in the haze that was “Human Best Friend”, time sort of got away from them. While chilling by the pool, they reflect on other occasions where crews took a well-deserved break, including “Shore Leave” (TOS) and “Let He Who Is Without Sin…” (DS9).

While searching for ways to understand Klingons, they revisit "Errand of Mercy" (TOS), "Sins of the Father" (TNG), "Reunion" (TNG), "Redemption" (TNG), and "Redemption II" (TNG), as well as "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country".SA 1×04 Vox In ExcelsoAntaak in ENT

Kev and Rob agree the "log cabin timeline" is a nicer place to live than the rest of the Strange New Worlds season three finale, "New Life and New Civilizations" (SNW). On the bright side, perhaps it will be the last time that "pure evil" is used as a plot device for awhile. We can only hope. Taking this last opportunity, they revisit other examples of evil in its purest form: "Skin of Evil" (TNG) and "The Most Toys" (TNG).SNW 3×10 New Life and New CivilizationsKatraMind meldStar Trek VI:
