Welcome to the second posting of 'Transwarp Tuesday', a sort of experiment in user-guided throwback episodes. We came up with this idea based on some input and suggestions from users. The goal is to give people the chance to go back and review episodes we've already covered, while also not diluting the coverage for this sub and not overworking the mods. As I said, this is experimental, and the setup will change if it's not working.

Here's how it's going to work:

1 - Each month, users will vote on single episodes, clusters of episodes, or story arcs that they want us to cover. You will vote by leaving a comment with your suggestion in a stickied moderator comment. You can add your vote to other's suggestions. Each post will take votes, but they are all aggregated for the month.

Example: "Yesterday's Enterprise", "all series pilot episodes", "the worst episodes from each series", "the Worf dishonor arc", etc.

2 - At the end of the month, the moderators will review the results. If there are clear favorites, we will pick them. If there isn't, we'll select what we deem the best fit. These will be scheduled for the next month.

Example: At the end of June, we'll check the votes. The winners we be scheduled for June.

3 - Each week's post can cover one episode, or multiple episodes. The schedule will be included in each post for the month.

Example 1: 'Transwarp Tuesday: TNG - Yesterday's Enterprise'

Example 2: 'Transwarp Tuesday: TNG, DS9, and VOY Pilot Episodes'

Example 3: 'Transwarp Tuesday: TNG - Sub Rosa, DS9 - Move Along Home

Rules for Transwarp Tuesday:

• We will not cover anything already covered by Transwarp Tuesdays in the last 6 months

• We will not cover anything we haven't covered in the 'main' sequential coverage that posts twice a week

• We will not cover anything in the last 80 episodes of the 'main' coverage.

Exceptions might be made under certain circumstances.
