Another fun installment. Not quite up to the epic feeling The Section 31 Files had, but still, enjoyable.

I'm going to go into a bit of a more critical mode for a moment, only because the following issues I think are easily amendable and would, at least for me, greatly enhance my enjoyment of the series.

I'm finding though there's more and more reliance on re-hashing lines from various episodes of the official series and as it happens more often and I'm talking like, word for word... and its just annoying because I remember the dialog from the big episodes so well. As with Section 31, in which pretty much every character used the word "indeed" just a bit too often, the dialog is where you can really win over your audience in a podcast, and for Trek fans -- some of whom are, like me, able to memorize random bits of dialog effortlessly -- this is a death knell to you if you're looking to be seen as being original.

However, I did quite like the references to the crew of the Nosferatu in the last episode, and I very much liked the fact that Dalonna's fate was left up in the air. I hope it stays that way for a while, because with the revelation of what happened to Backus, Rekla, Judah, and now having found Korg and Mak, it would just be too convenient for everyone to show up right at the same time. Leave Dalonna out of this oe for a while, if not completely.

Anyway, just my two cents. Keep up the great work, and Happy New Year!

Love what you've done with the Borg. They're scarier than ever.
This series is getting better and better.

By the way, how are submissions for your "design the Enterprise F" going? Gotten a lot? Anything really good?

I'm just upset they killed the Tellarite Chief Engineer off One of the more distinct voices amongst the cast, one of about four I could tell apart clearly.

I had an idea in my head as to what the E-F looks like, but I just can't get it down onto paper.
