The Buried Age.     Jean-Luc Picard's life is so much more than his time on the Enterprise, in fact he had a whole lifetime of events that helped forge the man we saw on screen in The Next Generation.

We discuss Picard's buried age, failure, the Manroloth, the science, setting up TNG, our ratings and final thoughts.  The news is jam-packed with goodies as we talk about licensing news, a cover reveal and then review Dog of War #4, The Motion Picture Echos #3, Star Trek #10, Star Trek Defiant #5 and Day of Blood #1.   News Licensing News (00:03:35) Cover Reveal (00:07:45) Dog of War #4 (00:10:20) The Motion Picture Echos #3 (00:15:20) Star Trek #10 (00:21:57) Star Trek Defiant #5 (00:27:11) Day of Blood #1 (00:31:50)                  Feature: The Buried Age Picard's Buried Age (00:37:56) Failure (00:49:59) The Manroloth (00:57:32) The Science (01:10:29) Setting Up TNG (01:15:32) Ratings (01:25:14) Final Thoughts (01:27:31)           Hosts Matthew Rushing and Casey Pettitt  Production Matthew Rushing (Editor and Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Greg Rozier (Associate Producer) Casey Pettitt (Associate Producer)
