Synopsis "Space Traipse: Hold My Beer: Season Nine"
When Yours Truly gets too logical about an old episode, the parody gets grim! Get ready for this season of Space Traipse: Hold My Beer.Operation Denervate (parody of ST: TOS "Operation - Annihilate!"): The colony of Denerva is attacked by snot pancakes! Dubbed "nikimixas," these pandimensional beings are more than just gross; these sadistic little buggers want to use humans to spread their kind across the galaxy, and they'll torture the humans into submission or kill them trying. The Impulsive has a tight timeline and a difficult line to walk between saving the colonists and protecting the universe. But when Captain Jeb Tiberius' brother is killed by the nikimixas, can he keep his perspective to lead his crew?Mistrials and Tribulations (parodying every court martial episode in the Star Trek universe): So, apparently, Union Fleet didn't think Jeb did so good. In fact, when the captain of the USS Energetic Efficiency accuses Jeb of genocide, he's got one shot to save his reputation. Unfortunately, the prosecution is one of the meanest, smartest, slyest attorneys in Union Fleet. Jeb chooses for defense, not another hotshot, but the Impulsive's own JAG-a brilliant lawyer with unorthodox thinking...and crippling social anxiety. The Prosecution will never see him coming-but is he up to the task or will his lack of self-confidence result in his captain getting sentenced to a mind-wipe?Laundray Day (parody of ST: TOS "Return of the Archons"): Commander Smythe is in command of the Impulsive! (Don't worry; Jeb's on vacation!) When they investigate a 40-year-old distress signal from a missing HuFleet ship, they discover a civilization under complete control of Laundray, a computer program hell-bent on preserving the peace and employing laundry metaphors.This season has a little of everything: adventure, grief, high stakes...even romance!
