The Masterpiece Society! Welcome...to Masterpiece Society! Where eugenics reigns supreme, Deanna (once again) crosses inappropriate lines, and Picard makes weirdly waffling convictions about personal freedoms. Also, we get into some pretty intense discussions about the topic. Oh boy!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of sexual assault and rape.
Violations! In this very special episode... of Star Trek: The Next Generation... and Newbie Star Trek... presented by Common... an obvious villain boards the ship and wrecks up a bunch of people's minds. Boy, the discussion gets heavy!

Hero Worship! Unlike last episode, this one sort of treads old ground as we re-explore Data's desire to be human, except now through the eyes of a child who wants to be like Data! Is it worth it? Does Star Trek drop the ball on one of the most devastating cuts to commercial in the whole series so far? I dunno, maybe?!

New Ground! IT BROKE NEW GROUND! And by that we mean that Worf is finally having to be a father, for once. And we get into a bunch of discussions about our own parents, and Ricardo talks about raising his kid, and I guess they were also shooting a spaceship on a warp wave or something like that? Eh?

A Matter of Time! An episode so annoying and so bad that not even Robin Williams could've saved it, and not even the time travel plot could entice Ricardo! Wow, is it really that bad? Well, it was written by Rick Berman, so...yes.

Unification I! Jasmin returns to unify with the NST crew and discuss Leonard Nimoy unifying with the TNG crew to unify the TOS and TNG storylines! Although, not really, as Spock doesn't even show up until the end of the episode. But isn't the real Spock the friends we made along the way? The answer is no.

The Game! *cue Triple H theme song* Seriously, though, there's a new game going around on the Enterprise, and it's making everybody c**! Will Wesley and special guest star Ashley Judd be able to keep everyone from the c**ming conspiracy?! Absolutely not!

Disaster! A quantum filament rocks the Enterprise! Picard is trapped in the turbolift with his worst nightmare, three children! Geordi and Beverly are trapped in the shuttle bay with a ghost fire and explosive barrels! Worf has to deliver Keiko's baby! Riker and Data have to cut off Data's head to get into Engineering! Deanna is put in charge of the bridge with Miles trying to save everyone and Ro trying to save themselves! There's a lot going on! But screw all that, GO AND SEE THE END OF DAYS!

Silicon Avatar! Who would've guessed that the Crystalline Entity would ever come back? Well, I guess Marvin did since he already saw the episode before, but Ricardo, Sara, and Dan didn't! Are we ready for a crazier version of the Admiral Satie performance from "The Drumhead"? Too bad, it's happening already!

Ensign Ro! Well, Wesley's gone, and we need a new spunky low-ranking character that's constantly accused of committing war crimes. Why not Ro Laren? Also, this story is DEFINITELY not about the Israel-Palestine conflict at all. Not one bit.

Redemption II! A lot's happened since we've been away! Picard's starting a blockade, Worf thinks Klingons aren't so cool anymore, the Duras sisters try to eat Worf's chin beard, Data gets discriminated against AGAIN in a society that supposedly has completely eliminated racism, and I guess Yesterday's Enterprise Tasha had a daughter? Will any of it have any significance whatsoever? I dunno, I guess we'll have to watch and see!
