Boom! Drumhead | A Look at Trek in the Courtroom
This week, join Hawk and Julian as they head to the courtroom to deep dive a handful of Trek episodes from Enterprise, TNG, DS9, and Voyager.
Is Klingon judgment more theater than law? Should the holodeck be used as a means to present "evidence?" Should a Trill be convicted of a crime due to the actions of a previous host? We ask these questions and many more!
Plus, the Strange New Loop, mailbag, and more on episode 95 of SNP.
