There, he finds a surprising family reunion that goes about as well as you expect. This week, we’re covering Brothers on TNG Re-watch.
This week, we’re taking a break from the TNG Rewatch to cover some of the big news from NYCC and the two new Short Treks. We’ve got Spock. We’ve got Number One. We’ve got Tribbles, and we’ve got H. Jon Benjamin in his underoos. It’s a mixed bag on CBS All Access, folks, so hold on to your communicators.

Q has been defrocked by his fellows, and he seeks asylum from his favorite species, the particular breed of Human that inhabits the USS Enterprise.
