Season 6 features some Trek highs ("Relics," "Tapestry," "Chain of Command") and lows ("Man of the People," "The Quality of Life") but everything looks damn good in 1080p -- even the Exocomps! And especially a few brief glimpses of DS9 in the two-parter "Birthright."

But is the set worth your hard-earned latinum? Listen and find out!

We also (literally) beam in a Red Shirt of the Week from Season 6, only to lose him on the transporter pad. *pours green drink in his honor*

So add a fourth duty shift to the rotation, keep proper count of them torture lights, and listen to TR3!
