Podcast 61: Hey Jean-Luc, You're a Father (j/k)!

Here's the penultimate report on the television run of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It all builds and builds and builds until we get to an episode devoted entirely to... Ro Laren. Huh. Lots and lots of family stuff on the way... as well as devo.

Apologies to all who joined us in the chatroom. About halfway through, Ustream seemed to shut down.

Also apologies to everyone whose comments we weren't able to read.
