This would usually be a skip week, but the world is still being a jerk, so we made you a bonus, entirely unedited, and almost entirely off-topic episode. This time, Jay and Tina Carleton of Welcome to Television talked about sitcoms!

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… (Star Trex)

Several hundred years later… (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
“I mean, we pay about as much attention to the Prime Directive…” (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
This scene really looks like they should all be holding cocktails. (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
Kang saying “Civility costs nothing” never stops being funny. (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
Well, he’s doomed. (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
And so’s she. (Star Trek: The Next Generation / X-Men: Second Contact)
We told you about that so we could tell you about this. (Planet X)

In which the X-Men cross over with two generations of Star Trek; your grandma invented slash fiction; Gladiator punches a starship; we designate a universe; Leonard McCoy gets bowdlerized; “Gary” is a silly name for a god; Elizabeth Dehner deserves better; a lot of things happen in space; Worf and Wolverine enjoy a brief but intense romance; the X-Men should have more to say about the ethics of “curing” mutation; and we successfully delay Onslaught by another week.
