Bradley Thompson and David Weddle delivered Valley of Darkness which first aired on 22 July, 2005. Things remain severely frakked. After the screw-up with the FTL last episode, there’s a Cylon virus in Galactica’s system that needs to be removed, but there are also Centurions aboard.

Extinction first aired on 15 October, 2003 and was written by Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer.

Star Trek: Picard (2022) – Monsters, and Mercy
Monsters is probably my least favourite episode of Star Trek: Picard Season Two, and perhaps the whole series in general. It changes several things about Picard’s (Patrick Stewart) established past, though they can be argued the other way, the age of his mother, Yvette (Madeline Wise) when she died, there’s next to no mention of…
