About this episode

The episode reviews the season finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, discussing key plot points and character developments.

This week, Transporter Room 3 beams up our review of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy's freshman season finale, "Rubincon." And, nope, that's not a typo. Ake (Holly Hunter) struggles through a very chatty tribunal, while the rest of the cadets must save the Earth in a way that, if we were them, we'd expect to skip a few years and go straight to graduation (zing!). A trip to the Replimat and a TNG Red Shirt are also in order, so get comfy in your Captain's chairs and listen now!
