The Greatest Generation

When we’ve reached the end of an era and only three packages remain, their contribution to the show’s well-documented problems makes it clear it’s time to turn off auto-renew. But after a bunch of FoD questions elicit some new ideas for the show, it seems we’re ready for 10 more years of indigestion and loose stool. Which type of museum would Ben and Adam open? What do wormhole aliens not care about at all? Who does Starfleet need to get into a uniform? It’s the episode that paints a Godfather-like scene.

When Greatest Gen’s biggest fan returns for an anniversary interview, everyone can agree that a rewatch is just part of loving Star Trek. But after 10 years of growth and change, Star Trek is a place still stands and the overarching goal remains the same. How is this interregnum like a family Mexican restaurant birthday song? What is Cyrus sorry-not-sorry for? Which employee hasn’t lost their fastball? It’s the episode that gives you thoughtful Ben and Adam.

When it’s time to wrap-up coverage of the series no one watched on TV, looking back at the show’s characters reveals an endearing crew and a capable cast. But after realizing that Enterprise might just be Star Trek Voyager with a bad captain, it raises questions like how are T’Pol and Seven the same and how are Phlox and Neelix different. Which character might as well like owls? How is an assignment on the NX-01 like working at Uxbridge-Shimoda? What is a TV show’s Vice President? It’s the episode that got some warm fuzzies.
