Episode 71 Magnificent Beards

The facial hair is everywhere this week, and we're not just talking Riker. First up, a peacemaker with a Kenny Loggins vibe has to end an ages-old civil war in "Loud as a Whisper", and then Data meets his "grandpa", who has the beard and overconfidence of an old-timey King, in "The Schizoid Man". Also this week: pistol shrimp, Vulcan acting, and continuity of consciousness. Note: some "The Prestige" spoilers within Timestamps: synopses: 1:11; Loud as a Whisper: 5:40; The Schizoid Man: 32:38
