Episode 48 - Standard Docking Procedure

Season 5, Ep. 48
Welcome to Pseudopolis, a space station filled with people just trying to get through the work day without breaking anything important. Join an ensemble cast of characters as they overcome such classic sci-fi sitcom problems like forgetting one's keys on a spacewalk, cooking food with a rocket, and tracking down a missed connection in virtual reality!

This is the scifi comedy sitcom in space we’ve all been waiting for. Hijinks will ensue, and on a station the size of Pseudopolis it feels like just about anything can happen.
