First Contact - s4e15

There's something funny about this one. Star Trek always focuses on the bridge crew of the Enterprise, according to Mean Gene Roddenberry, but the producers successfully switched up the POV to the Malkorians. The cultural bridge crew of Re:Engage also gets some new POVs as Geoffrey Zatkin (@GeoffreyZatkin on Twitter) and Matthew Krol (@EmperorMSK on Twitter) from the YouTube channels Extra Credits and Extra History join to dish on Riker's lies. There was a lot to unpack - including amazing guest star Bebe Neuwirth from Cheers and Chicago fame, a bona fide Not Ready for Primetime Player as the chancellor, and everyone's favorite hotel administrator from Ghostbusters as a conservative Malkorian. Jimmie G sadly couldn't make this recording so Greg had to fill in poorly on the background of this episode.
