This week, Nate thinks back on his break, and Ryan dreads upcoming bureaucracy. Then, Ryan takes a moment to show true humility regarding his pick for 2025 Game of the Year. Afterwards, they both bring up some of their favorite space travel stories. Then, for the main media, they discuss problem solving, sibling-like relationship dynamics, and laundry assignments of The Fated Sky by Mary Robinette Kowal.

Sometimes it seems necessary to hide in another era just to get time off. This week, cross country season came and went and Nate thinks back on how it was. Then, both Ryan and Nate address the dangers of nostalgia and if those movies we remember were actually any good. After that, the two discuss art before they shift the discussion to parodies, cats, and the sentience of a time line as they discuss the Connie Willis book, To Say Nothing of the Dog.

What if it was the Earth… but different? This week, Nate and Ryan discuss new TVs, water parks, and alternate earth stories. That discussion culminates in The Calculating Stars, a book by Mary Robinette Kowal in which they discuss the possibility of social change, being just the character the story needs, and the science in science fiction.
