This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss the worst time to Google Shohei, how Alice's stand-up show (that Skyler MISSED) went, viewing the team you're playing against as your enemy, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode twenty two, "For the Cause." Topics include the wrestling terms Skyler's heard of, getting into geometry, the word of the episode, the awful pillow-tech of the future, where the Maquis rank in Treks' cast of villains, how much fun it must be to talk to Eddington, Garak and Ziyal's bad will-they/won't-they dynamic, making sure a piece of writing passes the Alice test, and much, much more!

This week, it's a spooky Treks bonus episode sliding in under the Halloween wire, free for all to enjoy!! Alice and Skyler are joined by Alice's incredible Resident Alien co-stars Kaylayla Raine AND Sara Tomko to cover what might be Star Trek's scariest episode, The Next Generation's season seven, episode six, "Phantasms." Together, they discuss whether or not the sci-fi parasites should've been more explosive, how this episode felt Twin Peaks-y, the relatively chill way the Enterprise crew treats Data after he stabs his coworker, whether or not Freud was a good therapist, sipping on some Frake brain, scared cats, and much, much more!
