S1: Episode 21: The Most Aggressive Sales Pitch Ever Meets ET's Homeworld

Start Trek

So yet again, a Starfleet ship has gone missing. I mean at this point can they like budget in some Airtags or SOMETHING because this is really starting to look bad on Starfleet. How do you keep "losing ships?" Moreover, how do you keep losing all of the hundreds of people that were on the missing ship and are so blasé about it? I am embarrassed for Starfleet. Maybe they should be using money because then people would actually have some kind of reward for keeping track of ships. I digress.
It turns out the last known sighting of this ship was on ET's home planet, yikes. But don't worry guys, if you're like me and really find ET to be scary in a totally irrational way, there was no way they could afford the rights from Spielberg to have ETs pop up. By the way, the ET thing is not canon, I'm just convinced it's the same world because the planet looks identical to the one on the ET Ride at Universal Studios. ETs freak me out y'all. Predators, xenomorphs, no problems, but those ET creatures just seem like they have ulterior (probably human eating) motives.
Luckily, the crew has to deal with a super intelligent ever evolving AI killing machine and a very persistent salesman! Far better than a fleet of ETs, if you ask me. Crusher gets crushed falling into a hole and does not crush treating her own injuries, dragging Picard down with her, Levar gets to be captain, and Yar is just trying to her sh** together as she keeps having to remind the away team to fire back at the things that fire at you.
Featuring: NO ETs (thank god)! A very prominent blue screen! Crusher rubbing alien plants into open wounds with no possible idea of the effects! Pantyhose/shampoo bottle assassination robots! Yet another new Chief Engineer, because I assume Argyle quit, and this guy is a douchecanoe named Logan! Logan vs Levar! Worf seemingly quiet quitting! Picard taking on a planet load of credit card debt! The return of the saucier! Confusion about the chain of command! Picard getting pulled into a hole by friggin' Crusher!
