@@ Todd's Star Trek Challenge @@
Make Todd watch and review any episode of Star Trek (that he has access to, which may not include "Prodigy" at the moment). Pick any series, any season, and any episode. It can even be a fan-made episode or film on YouTube, as Todd really enjoyed "Star Trek Continues" recently. Send the episode request via the Discord server or by e-mail at discerninggeeks@gmail.com. Once Todd watches the episode, he will review it in both podcast form (here and/or on the Fandom Variables podcast) and in written form, on the DGP Discord server and at Medium.com.
