As the title suggests in this (somewhat unusual) episode, we talk you through the process of creating a typical episode. Which we've done through a chronological compilation of all the independent logs we’ve been recording (since mid-October 2020) in relation to the TEP Challenges Remastered episode (last episode released).

Three years on we do a remastered version of our TEP Challenges from 2018. This time we each have 30 questions each, 15 of character quotes and 15 on specialised subjects, episode summaries for me and ship classes for Simon. You can find out more in the Starship Handbook at https://trek.escape-committee.co.uk/combined.html Please note we had some minor technical difficulties whilst recording. Enjo...

Following on from last year's Listener's Choice episode, we look at Cindy's second-place winning suggestion.

In this week's episode we start looking at the Bajorans, and specifically the Occupation. But quickly get overwhelmed by our research, So we'll be recording a supplement episode to cover some of the research we were unable to cover this time around. Warning unfortunately this episode is quite loud, so I'd recommend listening to it at a lower volume... or in another room!

In this “media studies” type episode we look at Film and Television audience expectations! Looking particularly at their conclusions (including finales) and debating whether the audience expectations are too high. Perhaps making it impossible for showrunners to deliver and to satisfy their audiences, which is something we’ll discuss.

In this episode we start a quartet of Borg themed commentaries by doing something new... a film commentary. Obviously on Star Trek: First Contact, which whatever way you look at it either starts or concludes the story. But quoting Deanna Troi "this is no time to talk about time"! #TimeTravel

In this episode we discuss the Borg designations, trying to work out whether there’s any logic associated with the order the Borg assimilated certain (known) species in, and what that tells us about their expansion. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg_species_designations
