Hello, my name is Tawny Newsom. I play Beckett Mariner on Star Trek Lower Decks.

I am Paul F. Tompkins and I play Dr. Migglymo on Star Trek Lower Decks.

But more importantly, we're just a couple of Star Trek nerds who are excited because we finally get to talk about Star Trek again with all of you.

And we will be featuring Deep Space Nine guests to celebrate the show's 30th anniversary.

We're gonna be talking Picard Season 3 with members of the original of the next generation cast.

Listen to Star Trek The Pod Directive wherever you get your podcasts.

It's a lot harder when it's somebody you care about.

Like this is getting ugly.

Yeah, it's also really hard when it's someone you don't care about.

Like in the case of Fessie and Mariah.

Because clearly Fessie is not showing that he cares about Mariah in a way that she deserves.

And she gave him, wasn't it like two episodes ago or three episodes ago where she gave him a pep talk and hugged him and was super supportive.

You know what?

She did. I just wanted to.

I can't.

I can't.

Like so much happened. So much happened.

Watching Choncy and Amber, you know, at the end where he's like kind of beating himself up for winning.

That was me. That was me.

Oh my goodness.

Like I could never have been this would have significant other because that had to be pressure.

Like I want to win.
