THE CLIPS EPISODE: Due to a distortion of the space-time continuum, Andrew ended up on his own to record an episode. Instead of 50 minutes of dead air, he decided to throw together a clips episode featuring past segments on Star Trek!

RELEVANT EPISODES:

Episode 25 – Unnecessary Tassels: Where Andrew and D. Bethel talk about “I, Mudd” from the second season of the Original Series.
Episode 26 – The Effect of Randomosity: Excited about the Original Series, D. Bethel and Andrew discuss the classic “alternate reality” episode “Mirror, Mirror.”
Episode 53 – With Space Hands: Taking a plunge into The Next Generation, D. Bethel and Andrew say some words about “Yesterday’s Enterprise.”
Episode 56 – Don’t Stop Recording: D. Bethel and Andrew discuss “Tapestry,” the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Captain Picard dies. Sort of.
