154: Sky's the Limit

Crew Finale.
"The trial never ended, captain.  We never reached a
verdict. But now we have. You're guilty."

Daniel Proulx, Darren Moser, and Phillip Gilfus stood,
provisionally, as representatives of Star Trek: The Next
Generation fans for three years - never missing a week of giving
testimony and evidence in defense of their favorite Star Trek
series. But they now stand before Q one last time to receive
their final verdict.

The trio ends their time on Earl Grey in this episode -
remembering their favorite podcast moments, what kept them coming
to the mics week after week, what they believe are the
"essential" ingredients for doing a Trek podcast, and what they
will keep with them as they move on to their next adventure
together. Listen for a "Shades of Grey" experience, as clips from
past shows are intermixed with Daniel, Darren, and Phillip's list
of "thank you's" to those many people who helped made their time
at Trek.fm something they will never forget. They also spend
their last moments recognizing what they learned most from each
other (though not holographically in front of a Windows 95
desktop background).

"You just don't get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends.
We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and
your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did."

Earl Grey spent time exploring the best way to experience bij,
the importance of the shift key, and why it's not important to
remember Q-episode titles. More than that, they explored and
exhibited the spirit of Next Gen - a utopian vision of the future
where the ties of friendship ensures that a crew can survive any
danger and improve themselves through shared missions of
exploration.

Earl Grey remind all listeners to stay tuned and that a new crew
will soon take their stations ... after all, there's still plenty
of letters left in the alphabet.

"In any case, I'll be watching. And if you're very lucky, I'll
drop by to say hello from time to time. See you ... out
there!"
