## Resource

Never before have your two hosts had such differing opinions as we put "Rules of Engagement" on the stand! Joseph thinks it's a good attempt at making Starfleet more of a millitary organization while furthering Worf's story, while Peter hated it because he thought the 'evil plan' was too weak. Is Peter just too talented at human manipulation to enjoy it for what it is, or is Joseph too eager to make excuses for it? Listen and decide!
