Summary
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Inheritance," did you know Data has a mom? Yeah, neither did Data. She is aboard the Enterprise, looking to share with him and make up for lost time. But the two of them have more in common than even she realizes. Also, a planet is going to blow up or stop spinning or something.
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
