We get into all the things about the next episode including set pictures, the trailer, and a scene that has already been cut. Is Eccleston coming back? No. But that doesn't stop us from talking about the possibility. Into Darkness. Adam, Aaron, and Teresa go into depth about the latest Who episode "Into the Dalek".

Trek TV Episode 182 - Star Trek: The Next Generation S04E11 - "Devil's Due": In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S04E11 - "Devil's Due". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Dustin, Derek, & Jared. Well, we were certainly due for it, but Vaughn and Tracy must have royally cheesed off the Devil with this one because Ol' Scratch done gone ahead and claimed their souls; which is to say, he spirited their audio track away straight to Hell. Thankfully, we're wise to that original flim-flam demon's tricks and our backup recording was safely hidden away from their... dumb pitchfork thing? So no need to have sympathy for us, dear listeners; reserve that for yourself, as our constant paranoia of imminent damnation means you get to enjoy all the devil-skin tight outfits, high-pitched shrieks, and absolutely staggeringly lengthy digressions of this double-wide episode of Trek TV in basically listenable quality!
