## Resource

WHAT FEAR WANTS is to keep itself alive and only Captain Janeway is clever enough to outwit a computer program that's become the embodiment of that extreme emotion. Are We Sure It Was Bad? Month concludes with the episode of Star Trek: Voyager where This Is Spinal Tap's and Better Call Saul's Michael McKean guest stars as a killer clown. Joining Bryan to decide if it's a TREK, MARRY, or KILL is James Thorpey, one of the hosts of Geekscape's Monster Rally Podcast.
