Hosted by Jo...

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Force of Nature," some people say you can't train a cat, but that doesn't stop Data from trying to outwit Spot.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Phantasms," Data is a simple android with simple dreams. He dreams of drinks from the head of a commanding officer, robocidal workers from the early 20th century, and cellular peptide cake (with mint frosting). Reality is much more boring: staring at his cat, installing warp plasma conduits, and stabbing Counselor Troi repeatedly. Can Data ever make...

In the  Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, "Gambit Part I & II," Picard is dead until he's "Galen." Riker has gone rogue.

Any chance Pica...

Hosted by John Champion & Ken...
