Saturday Apr 01, 2023
A Klingon Challenge! Hey, I don't remember this episode of TNG. Why's the Enterprise empty? Why are they using non-Star Trek font? Why aren't they shooting this with film cameras? Who's this Kavok guy? Why are we looking at some sort of game board? And what is this "VHS" you speak of?
Seriously, though, you should watch the video version of the podcast here instead: https://youtu.be/KUqQALBkx9w

The Host! No, not the bonkers Bong Joon-ho scifi classic or the romantic sci-fi novel by Stephanie Meyer, but the episode of TNG! Man, "The Host" sure is a popular title! And yes, the episode that introduced the Trill, and yes, Beverly totally gets her mack on. But how'll she take it when she finds out how the Trill really operate? Will Picard be jealous?

Legacy! Tasha's long-lost sister, Ishara, shows up outta nowhere, and, of course, Data's immediately smitten. To be fair, the whole crew, save for Deanna, is pretty smitten with her, too. Who can blame them, with that haircut and jumpsuit? Though she's definitely cribbing the whole Sarah Connor look. But hey, let's see how this inevitable betrayal eventual plays out!

Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Tuesday Aug 23, 2022
Remember Me! Why did Pixar steal the entire plot of this movie? What a bunch of frauds! But in all seriousness, an actually really great script and great performance by Gates McFadden that's completely ruined by the reintroduction of the Traveler and Star Wars-style mystical BS! A spirited discussion this shall be!

Suddenly Human! What if The Searchers didn't end in such a toxic way? What if Picard was okay with children? What if aliens were allowed to listen to space prog rock? All of these questions, and more, too much more, will be answered in this episode!

NST: TNG - Brothers - Season 4, Episode 3 + Nichelle Nichols Retrospective
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
Tuesday Aug 09, 2022
Brothers! Data goes nuts and decides to hijack the Enterprise! Why? Maybe it's so he can find his brother? Surely the episode title didn't give it away! Also, watch as Brent Spiner does the Austin Powers/Klumps shtick before Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy ever did! Dan also informs me that he wanted to compare Lore meeting Noonian Soong again to when Will Smith met his father again in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he forgot to mention it during the podcast recording, so here we are in the podcast description instead. Also, we have a special retrospective to celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, but that's not really related to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at all.

Family! Wow, a ton of stuff happened in Best of Both Worlds, eh? Some mind control, some countless loss of life, tons of explosions, and I'm sure Picard came through all of it totally okay without any trauma at all. So this episode is just a long pleasant trip back home where he sips some wine and gets into sexy mud wrestling fights with his grumpy brother. Also, Worf is still butt-hurt over his honor, and I guess also we find out what Wesley's dad looks like. Also, it turns out Wesley Crusher comes from a long line of criminal Crushers, so that all fits.
