Take a long, leisurely trip to Nepenthe with Anika and Liz as we discuss:
- The Riker-Troi family, Kestra the perfect-but-not-in-a-Mary-Sue-way kid character, synths and stem cells and pizza
- Our very, very strong reservations about Hugh's fate, and Anika has found The Worst Take
- The fruitless search for depth in Narissa
- Cris Rios (he is not a clever man)
- Narek (and his collection of fidget spinners)
Anika also outlines the TOS novel The Lost Years by JM Dillard, and how it might tie in to the story here; and Liz is close to figuring out how to blame Sarek for everything, including the fact that she refers to both Elnor and Rios as Narek.
- Times Anika cries: 1
- Times Liz says, "I'm eager to see what happens next": at least 5
