Drunk Trek Host Chris has a terrible pet peeve for movies and TV shows, the “plucky kid”. He can’t stand them. So without further ado, here’s “Plucky Kid” month! We explore episodes where kids take front and center! But if you think that this will be a delightful romp, think again; this week we watch the unfortunate consequences of groupthink and megalomania. Fun!

We start off with a Deep Space Nine episode that has been on our list for a while now, “Little Green Men”! Pop open a bottle and give this episode a listen; it features time travel, cold war mixups, and all the ear sex you could ever want!

Now the command team is in the board game for real and Quark has to guide them out! What a twist!
