Earth has its first encounter with aliens in the vastness of space and then runs into a problem of what to do next. It's a first contact without Vulcans, Picard, or "Spirit in the Sky"...including Ryan's disappointment that it's not the version with the bombastic captain, a general admiration of the competent crew members, and a lengthy coda about things that need words. Did I leave it on because I'm lazy or because I couldn't find a clean cut? You decide...
Ryan lands another 7.5 and Richard goes for 8.5

I went to a wedding, then a birthday party, then at the last second decided to celebrate Back to the Future Day, but better late than never, right? Right?

More stranded aliens and another contentious doctor/commander relationship while we contemplate an intergalactic Improv Everywhere, a brief thought on a CW version, and Richard makes the case for Coneheads.

We slog through a western in space where the subtlety in allegory gives way to a giant hammer of obvious. Mistakes were made, Ryan comes dangerously close to achieving his goal, and we discuss the value of doing a bad job well.
Fives all around.
