    ALL GOOF THINGS... must come to an end and now it's time for Trek Marry Kill's journey through Lower Decks to wrap it all up.

In any case, it's goodbye to Lower Decks AND this season of Trek Marry Kill -- but don't worry, we'll have a few special episodes dropping throughout the summer. Learn more about your ad choices.

    CALLBACKS AND COMEBACKS. TV critic Diana Keng reviewed Star Trek: Lower Decks through its first four seasons and jumps back in to reviewing season five right here on this week's Trek Marry Kill. The two episodes being judged embody some classic TV tropes: the backdoor pilot episode and the new young character inserted late in a show's run to show how far our characters have come. But are these TREKs, MARRYs, or KILLs? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    ALL GOOD THINGS... was a fantastic finale for The Next Generation and TV in general. But seven years later, how did the Voyager finale measure up? Does it manage to avoid unflattering comparisons to that famous episode? On the occasion of its 25th anniversary and Fighting the System Month, it seemed like an appropriate time to revisit this one. Joining Bryan to decide if it's a Trek, Marry, or Kill is Charlynn Schmiedt, who co-hosts the Mission Log: Prodigy podcast as well as T.P. For Your Earholes: A Beavis and Butt-Head Podcast -- AND -- has the greatest handle in internet history (@ohtheprofanity). Check those out after listening to this one!
