Unification II - s5e8

Another writer from the more contemporary Star Trek: Discovery, Eric J. Robbins, joins in a very in-depth discussion of the conclusion to this seminal two-parter while the WGA strike was going strong. Thankfully that work-stoppage is over with most of the demands met, and our very demanding podcast must have been a big part of that. Spock is back and we actually get the highly anticipated scenes between Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner. Fascinating, indeed! Denise Crosby returns as well, and she's nasty, except when it comes to the startegizing as she goes full Bond villain by underestimating two of the smartest people in the galaxy. Eric (with a "c") is a wonderful addition to our cultural bridge crew and he helps break down why this episode is so great.
