We are very excited to have him officially on board the team. Welcome, Teos!
Star Trek: The Next Generation Watch Club Continues
Join us for a go-at-your-own-pace Star Trek: The Next Generation watchalong, and discuss the episodes with your MMP friends! Phil Vecchione, Misdirected Mark and Panda’s Talking Games co-host, is curating a list of TNG essentials that we can all discuss at the Misdirected Mark Forums! Every week, a list of episodes is released. You can watch them at your own pace and then join the relevant discussion topic at the forums! There are also weekly watch parties after the Tuesday night streams if you like to watch in company, but you don’t need to attend to participate! Check out all the details in this post on the forums. Make it so!
