A rescue is launched into the mycelial network and more than just Tilly gets pulled out.
This week we’re joined by another friend of the podcast, Kristin Mueller-Heaslip, “Kristin from Toronto” herself.

Our White Albums for Season 6! It’s that time again, where we each cut a full 26 90’s season of television into a concise modern 8 to 12 episode series.

Klingons are back! And so are their follicles -But hey there’s a lot to cram in this episode between Klingons, fungi, and a Spock plot that none of us want.

Season Six is over! Does it die with a bang, or a whimper? The Dominion War reaches a crucial moment. This is not how we want to say goodbye to our space friends.
Are the pieces rushed into place? And does this episode wrap things up satisfactorially?
“New Eden” brings a classic Star Trek episode, with tropes even non-Trekkers can identify as such. But aside from the away mission on the planet, can someone who hasn’t watched the Discovery make any sense out of the heavy space rock, spore drives, or Tilly’s secret friend back on the ship?
Wade is again joined by Glen Hall and Sean Perrotta, two Star Trek neophytes, but also by Benny Scheckner (https://www.instagram.com/chickenbonesontheground/), who has even LESS frame of reference for this episode.
