Kevin and Rob refuse to follow each other’s orders at a critical moment that permits the escape of a cloaked ship, which gives them plenty of time to discuss “Orders of Magnitude” (SNW). To ward off future such misadventures, they review some past occurrences of mutiny in “Turnabout Intruder” (TOS) and “Worst Case Scenario” (VOY).

Rob and Kevin encounter … several … dramatic … pauses this week as they explore “Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass” (SNW), before remarking on other examples of actors being cast in roles that echo what they are best known for, including “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” (TOS), “Tsunkatse” (VOY), and “Detained” (ENT).

Kevin and Rob argue over which of them is most likely to quit the podcast first as the ship’s chronometer counts down to the start of “Off-Hour” (SNW). Afterward, they trace the career paths of each of the Enterprise’s Chief Medical Officers, with stops for “Encounter at Farpoint” (TNG), “Disaster” (TNG), “Unnatural Selection” (TNG), “Virtuoso” (VOY), and “Dear Doctor” (ENT).SNW 4×06 Off-Hour 24 TNG 5×05 Disaster Homicide: Life on the Street 6×07 The Subway Anton Yelchin Phil Boyce TOS 0×01 The Cage TOS 1×01 Where No Man Has Gone Before Mark Piper Star Trek III: The Search for Spock A’Sha Rahda TOS 3×14 That Which Survives TOS 1×14 Court Martial Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeLeonard McCoy Dunsel Star Trek: The Motion Picture Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home TNG 1×01 Encounter at Farpoint TOS 3×10 For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the SkyBeverly Crusher Mariposas PIC 3×10 The Last Generation TNG 5×05 Disaster TNG 7×14 Sub RosaKatherine Pulaski TNG 2×07 Unnatural Selection TNG 2×03 Elementary, Dear Data Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanJulian Bashir DS9 5×16 Doctor Bashir, I Presume Section 31 Malcolm Reed Sloan Elim Garak Ezri DaxThe Doctor Data VOY 6×13 Virtuoso TNG The Measure Of A Man VOY 4×23 Living WitnessPhlox ENT 1×13 Dear Doctor Neelix ENT 1×25 Two Days and Two Nights - Episode 97: CMO Careers (SNW 4×06 Off-Hour) <
Rob and Kevin manage to work the audio equipment with their puppet fingers to share their reactions to “Level-Five Transporter Accident” (SNW), then are inspired by the crew’s solution to their Orion problem to revisit other instances of crews being a little short of breath in “Space Seed” (TOS), “Disaster” (TNG), and “Civil Defense” (DS9).

Kevin and Rob take the zeppelin to Chinatown (or was it the shuttle to Mat'Aar XII?) and do their best to blend in while they discuss “A Case of Chiaroscuro” (SNW). After banishing the local occupying force with the power of song, they consider other occupations throughout Star Trek history, including “Errand of Mercy” (TOS) and “Things Past” (DS9).

Rob and Kevin take the week off. Actually, it was meant to be just a long weekend, but in the haze that was “Human Best Friend”, time sort of got away from them. While chilling by the pool, they reflect on other occasions where crews took a well-deserved break, including “Shore Leave” (TOS) and “Let He Who Is Without Sin…” (DS9).

Rob and Kevin return from 65 million years in Earth's past on a conspicuous chunk of iridium-rich rock to discuss "Valles Marineris" (SNW) before examining other closed-loop time puzzles that are best not to over-think. They consider the Bell Riots of "Past Tense" (DS9), the subspace fractures of "Time and Again" (VOY), and the Ed Begley Juniors of "Future's End" (VOY).TOS 1×06 The Naked TimeTOS 2×13 The Trouble with TribblesTOS 1×31 Tomorrow is YesterdaySNW 4×01 Valles MarinerisPredestination paradoxStar Trek BeyondTNG 7×25/26 All Good Things…VOY 3×23 Distant OriginBootstrap ParadoxesSubspace Radio 53: Trapped in TimeDS9 3×11-12 Past Tense, Part I & IIBell RiotsVOY 1×04 Time and AgainGuinanVOY 3×08-09 Future’s End & Future’s End, Part 2BraxtonStar Trek: First ContactStar Trek IV: The Voyage HomeTransparent aluminum - Episode 92: Bootstrap Paradoxes (SNW 4×01 Valles Marineris) - SNW 4×01 Valles Marineris - Bootstrap Paradoxes - DS9 3×11-12 Past Tense, Part I & II - VOY 1×04 Time and Again - VOY 3×08 Future's End & VOYx 3×09 Future's End, Part 2 Music: Distänt Mind, Brigitte Handley
