Episode #6: Star Trek The Next Generation

Listen Here, Then Vote!
In this episode, my two best friends Nate Hasiak and Diomira Birch (whose mic was of the hand-held variety, and she has no prior podcasting experience so please be kind) join the show to cast a hypothetical J.J. Abrams style movie reboot of the TV series Star Trek The Next Generation.
In this episode we cast for the characters Jean-Luc Picard, Will Riker, Deanna Troi, Worf, Data, Geordi LaForge, and Beverly Crusher.
NOTES: Below are the polls, one per character. You decide which of us did the best job casting that role. Polls close early the day episode 7 drops in the feed. Also, I'm experimenting with not posting the IMDB page links anymore. We'll see what happens.
