Starship Edsel: S4 E5: "Inspection Day"

"Inspection Day" — Tasked with the seemingly beneath-them job of transporting a mysterious sealed vessel and its dedicated keyholder, the crew's pride takes a hit when a by-the-book Starfleet inspector boards for a surprise review. As regulation violations pile up and the ship's future hangs in the balance, the crew scrambles to hide contraband, finish repairs, and win over a man who accepts nothing less than perfection. But between growing suspicions and a box marked "of great importance," nothing on this inspection may be quite what it seems.

Second City ETC alums Javid Iqbal and Alex Bellisle guest star. Iqbal has been featured in Second City's Musical House Ensemble "Infinite Sundaes," and has performed around Chicago with Stir Friday Night. Bellisle is known for the critically acclaimed She the People at The Second City's UP Comedy Club among many other credits, including NBC's Chicago P.D.

Starship Edsel: S4 E4: "Whodunnit"

"Whodunnit" — While the Edsel undergoes repairs, shore leave on the orbital station Deluros turns deadly when a folk singer turns up murdered in a maintenance corridor. A vanishing Bajoran musician, a concussion gr***de, and a station full of witnesses who insist she never existed lead the crew into a conspiracy with a secret hidden in plain song. But the deeper they dig, the more they suspect someone is telling this story—and taking liberties. Special guest star C.J. Tuor narrates. The Second City and Chicago improv veteran brings the same live-mystery chops he's known for in Hitchcocktails and Clued In Improv—though the crew may have opinions about his choices.

Starship Edsel: S4 E3: "The Most Dangerous Game Night"

"The Most Dangerous Game Night" — Desperate for a morale boost after months of timeline chaos, the crew beams down to an empty Class-M planet for a mandatory bonding game night. Two overzealous new transfers volunteer to run the tournament, and what starts as board games and lawn darts escalates into fortified outposts, covert reconnaissance, and tribunal rulings over disputed co****le. As Buchanan's homemade dice roller develops a personality and T'Pang Gah spirals over house rules, the crew must combine their strangest talents to survive the most hostile game night in Starfleet history.

🌲🪵 “THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH. OUT HERE, IT DOESN’T GET TO RUN AT ALL.” 🩸🪓

Five college friends head to an isolated cabin in the Catskill Mountains for one last wild summer weekend. But when local moonshine unearths buried secrets and a sudden act of violence spills blood onto the ancient forest floor, they inadvertently awaken a vengeful pagan deity trapped in the brush.

Equal parts bloody slasher and eerie folk-terror, this is the ultimate October theater fix for horror junkies, Shakespeare geeks, and slasher fans alike.

Starship Edsel: S4 E2: "Who's The Boss?"

"Who's the Boss?" — A routine treaty renewal on Blahvek should be a formality, so newly promoted Captain Troi delegates it to her senior staff and turns her attention to a harder problem: figuring out how to command people who are still her friends. As she cycles through every leadership style in the book—cool aunt, ice-cold disciplinarian, and everything between—her increasingly rattled crew faces a Grand Regent whose "minor" amendments keep moving the finish line. With the treaty unraveling and the crew out of patience, Troi must find her own way to lead before the whole deal collapses.

Starship Edsel: S4, E1 "Too Much of a Good Thing" — SEASON PREMIERE.

Fresh off saving the timeline, the Edsel gets a refit full of technology nobody aboard knows how to use and a batch of Starfleet Academy interns who know how to use all of it. A high-profile promotion leaves one officer unexpectedly holding the center seat. Sent to investigate an impossible subspace rupture in the Ophiocus system, the crew finds a planetoid where it shouldn't be, a research station haunted by echoes of the dead, and a machine that may be causing the anomaly—or the only thing holding it back. Sometimes the old ways really are the best.

Guest Starring:
Rich Alfonso & James Dugan
