Set Phasers to Fun!

This is 40! We strive to bring you consistently compelling and timely content, but this is what you get. At the behest of an Admiral's Club member, we talk spin-off ideas, midlife crises for our main characters, and of course, corn status.

We're back! This time we set our phasers to Picard!
