S1E57 - Walter Koenig is Bae

We're joined by David Gordon Buresh to talk about one of the standout episodes of Season 5, "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father"

After some reminiscing about growing up in similar frozen tv deserts...

Jude has a very short episode summary (LIAR), we learn what a PsyCorps internship looks like (spoiler: be warned), what a PsyCorps procedural would look like (yikes), and Bester is surprisingly not horrible. We give Walter Koenig a generous helping of our love for his consistently stellar portrayal of the best human antagonist of the entire show. Jude also claims to be an expert on bad wigs, briefly.

WHAT IS IN A PAK'MA'RA's HUMP? Wait, I'm sorry I asked.
