Or would you rather we beam down to discuss one of our favorite hours of Trek… "Pen Pals"?

O.K., "Defiant" it is -- DS9's first (and sadly, only) brush with Thomas Riker as he steals one "tough little ship" to help the Maquis level-up their terrorism game. Why do we heart this ep so much? Listen and find out!

Our Red Shirt of the Week also hails from DS9. This bald, blue-tunic wearing target picked the wrong day to sign up for Jem'Hadar detail -- can you guess who it is?

So crank up your Winamps and tear off your fake beards, it's time for a new ep of TR3!

  1. They should've closed the Tom Riker arc with an episode titled "Double Trouble" where Tom Riker and Lore go on a killing spree!

  3. Was watching "second chances" from TNG on Netflix and as per my nightly before bed routine, tuned in to this specific Thomas Riker centric podcast of TP3.
