We wrap up the fifth season of The Next Generation with "The Inner Light" and "Time's Arrow," and it's one of those times where J. has difficulty explaining why something is so great because it affects him on a deep and personal level quite profoundly so instead he has to kind of crap on it as a defense mechanism, and also "Time's Arrow" is here. It's good in ways that don't matter and crappy in the ways that do! (Did I just write a new tagline for our podcast?) This episode synopsis is a damn mess, but we also talk about The Wire season two, and McNulty's "Collateral Damage."
