Series 2, Episode 9 - "That's exactly what the baryon sweep was for; to clean the carpets!" Hello there faithful follower of fun Trek frivolity. This week our analytical eye again turns to a Borg themed episode, and an episode that lives in infamy for other reasons; Lower Decks' "I, Excretus". Mike is again joined by best friend and long-suffering compatriot Steven Brown to discuss and review this episode, and yes THAT whole "controversy". Along the way they'll also be discussing beloved Klingons, "new" Star Trek: Picard (at time of recording), numbers of starship nacelles, Voyager holodeck programs, a couple of AI focused episodes, a couple of Stargazers and, as if one controversy wasn't enough, the already infamous question of whether carpets belong on starships. Join us for all of this and more, it's more fun than stacking irregularly shaped crates during a red alert situation. Introduction/chat -
