27: The Future Never Ends (The Two Parters)
We are covering all the two-part stories in Voyager. They are all excellent. The Voyager crew return to Earth. But wait, it’s 1996 Earth. It’s Future’s End, and if it weren’t such fun, time travel would give us a headache. We get to watch our crew explore SoCal wearing a variety of late...
-
26: Back to Basics (The Two Parters)

21: Organics Are So Revolting
Shelly Brisbin is the latest guest. She’s a fan of B’Elanna Torres and The Doctor, so we chose Revulsion (S4E5) for our homework. The story of the lonely hologram, stranded on a ship by himself, is one of the best Voyager episodes, with Torres and The Doctor forming an away team to help repair…

12: Janeway vs. the Three-Armed Jellyfish
