This is one of the stories I skipped a while ago when work made me too busy and tired for the longer stories. And one of the downsides to being the EP moderator is that I need to read threads even if I haven't heard the stories. But the plus side in this case was that it was long enough ago that I forgot the details.
Yesterday, I started listening to the story while driving, and got about 40 minutes in before reaching my destination. So far, it's been teenage soap opera - but it's in SPACE!. I know, from my vague memories of this thread, that eventually something else is going to happen, but I don't know what it is, and nothing I listened to yesterday compelled me enough to want to find out. If this was the only story in my backlog I would have finished it, but as there are currently twelve others (over the three podcasts), I don't think I'll ever hear the second half of this one.
