X-Treks

What's your FAVORITE episode of your favorite sci-fi TV show (that your friend hasn't seen yet)?

Grab your heater and count yourself lucky with a surprise Chicago gangster showdown (that's never actually in Chicago) as Erin and Stella put these two great episodes in the bag to close out our first season of X-Treks!

Surprise Siblings

Does your favorite sci-fi show have an episode where one of the main characters gets reunited with a long-lost or even a previously unknown sibling?

For Stella Cheeks, it's the Star Trek TOS episode "Operation -- Annihilate!" and for Erin Cline, it's the X-Files episodes "Colony" and "Endgame"... at least for the first time it happens.

Brother!? (DUN DUNNN) Sister?! (BWOONNG)

Join Stella and Erin as they watch our favs fend off flying neuro-squid vomit bags, acidic alien clone blood, midnight snipers, and getting literally blinded with science! Surprise!
