Description

In Theory.

The last person you’d expect to be looking for love on the
Enterprise is Data. But that’s just what happens in “In Theory.”
Well, Data wasn’t actually looking for love, but once it presented
itself the prospect got its own subroutine … and the 1701-D became
The Love Boat, filled with advice from corners both expected and
not.

In this episode of The Ready Room, we’re joined by Charlynn
Schmiedt, Andi VanderKolk, and Zachary Fruhling to discuss our
robotic loverboy, the Riker book of moves, the future of
human-android relations, and, unexpectedly, what cats do on
starships. It’s all part of the fun when we share our theory of “In
Theory.”

In our news segment, we discuss William Shatner's idea for a
Star Trek musical, The Oatmeal's retelling of a famous Gene
Roddenberry story, and some exciting news about our network.
