It’s one of those rare Star Trek dry spells. What will these crazy podcasters talk about next!?

And it’s another week with no new Star Trek. To ward off impending withdrawal symptoms, Mike and Johnson decide to dip back into the past, and examine how Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country applies to our modern sentiments. Do the lessons from this 31-year Star Trek film still apply to our world today? The answer is a somewhat depressing yes.

But first, we do a quick catchup on our lives, and also preview the forthcoming season of Lower Decks! What are we most looking forward to, and what do we hope to see more of? Come for the fireside chat, stay for the TED talk.
