We’re not sure if that's a good thing or what, but we unpack the episode with help from our good pal from TrekCore.com, Ken Reilly.

And then Picard showrunner Michael Chabon himself beams in to discuss the finale and the season overall for a post-mort interview! And we also have some Altan Soong-centric Reader Mail this week, and another Red Shirt -- one of our highest ranking ever.

So replicate a cup of decaf Earl Grey, curl up with Spot 2 and listen to the new TR3 now!

There's a lot of spinning plates here -- the secret history of the Borg Collective, the two Romulan siblings who only speak in bad '90s action movie villain-ese, and Picard's new Firefly-type crew. So what did we think? Listen and find out!

We also have some reader mailbag that asks a BIG question regarding the rogue androids and, of course, there's a Red Shirt. Well, what's left of him.

So take a hit off Raffi's vape, get comfy, and listen now to TR3!
