Trek TV Episode 202 - Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E07 - "Unification I"

Trek TV - The most ambitious Star Trek podcast on the internet!

#202 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E07 - "Unification I". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek & Jared. That damned Spock! Not even a decade later, and the Feds have to search for him again. This time, the slippery devil is apparently on Romulus, as evidenced by a satellite photo that needs to be inexplicably re-enhanced every time someone needs to look at it. Could Spock be a defector?! Of course, because who doesn't want to shack up with the most shifty and paranoid jerks in the galaxy? Things look bleak, but with a little help from a briefly-lucid (and briefly alive) Sarek, a "favour" from a barely-accommodating Gowron, and a bit of Romulan spray-on tan, Picard and Data are on the hunt! But forget all that, because you know what we're REALLY here for: Vulcan Garbage Mysteries, Trash Kings, and weird 14-foot eels found in the lockers of junk freighters. We also contemplate the immense strain of emotional suppression on the Vulcan digestive system, question just how difficult it could really be to restore Data's beautiful complexion, and ponder the terrifying nature of the dreaded Klingon Table Skirt. All these, and even more, questions will definitely not be answered by the end of this particularly unresolved episode of Trek TV! Also (almost certainly due to Romulan treachery) there's some sketchy audio on this one at first but don't worry, it gets mostly sorted out about a quarter of the way in.
