James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s eerie and mind-bending episode Where Silence Has Lease. This time, the Enterprise crew finds themselves trapped in a mysterious void by the enigmatic Nagilum, who sees them as nothing more than test subjects.

The duo has plenty of fun at Worf’s expense—mocking his inability to defeat a basic-level opponent in his own holodeck program and his constant rejection by Picard and Riker on the bridge. Meanwhile, Andrew expresses his deep appreciation for the episode as a strong science fiction story, while James also enjoys it—though he’s dismayed by the lack of Wesley Crusher at the helm (wink, wink).

Join us as we break down the mystery, the absurdity, and the classic TNG weirdness in this fun-filled review!

James and Andrew are back for Season 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation as they dive into the premiere episode, "The Child." Is this where TNG finally starts "growing the beard"? The duo takes a lighthearted look at the show's efforts to course-correct and evolve into the beloved series we know today.

In this episode, the Enterprise crew undergoes some big changes: Geordi takes over as Chief Engineer, Worf sports a revamped forehead (and a gold uniform!), and Ten Forward makes its debut—complete with a bar and a barmaid we’ll all grow to love. But not everything is smooth sailing. There's a new Doctor on board, and "the boy" (yes, Wesley) is still flying the ship. Meanwhile, a mysterious alien pregnancy brings a questionable main plot to the mix.

Join James and Andrew as they discuss whether these improvements mark the beginning of TNG's golden era and debate how far the show has come since its rocky first season. It’s a fun, nostalgic ride for fans and newcomers alike!

James and Andrew have reached the thrilling finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season! In this episode, they review “The Neutral Zone”—an episode packed with mystery, Romulan tension, and an unexpected batch of 20th-century humans thawed out of cryosleep. As the Enterprise crew grapples with these displaced characters, James and Andrew consider if the writers made a misstep with the weepy portrayal of the female survivor, Clare. Did 1980s TV stereotypes sneak in here, or is her reaction somewhat justified?

The big mystery lies, of course, on the Romulan border, where outposts have mysteriously disappeared. Rumor has it that this could have been a prelude to the Borg’s later involvement—was the Neutral Zone supposed to be their sinister calling card all along? James and Andrew debate whether the last-minute addition of the Romulans gave the episode the suspense it needed, especially after the Ferengi fell short of villain status earlier in the season.

Join our hosts as they speculate on whether they, too, will make it to the end of TV history (maybe even beyond 2040!) and celebrate completing their first season of TNG.

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Conspiracy.” This iconic episode takes a darker turn than usual, and the crew faces a menacing infiltration within Starfleet itself. James notes that yet again, the season kicks off with another round of shore leave—something that’s become a bit of a theme this season. But this time, rest and relaxation are quickly set aside as Captain Picard and Commander Riker are drawn into a deadly investigation.

James and Andrew explore the episode’s notorious shock value and its intense body horror scenes, which led it to be banned in the UK.

Join James and Andrew as they unpack this thrilling and unique episode.

In this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation Revisited, James and Andrew tackle “We’ll Always Have Paris,” an installment that promised a fascinating sci-fi premise but somehow veers into soap opera territory. This story could’ve offered intriguing exploration into time loops and quantum physics, but instead, it becomes entangled in Captain Picard’s unresolved romantic past with Dr. Jenice Manheim. While Picard’s vulnerability is refreshing to see, James and Andrew question whether the execution hits the mark or simply distracts from more engaging themes that Star Trek has handled better in other time-centric episodes.

Tune in as they dissect what went wrong, how it could have lived up to its potential, and where it ranks among TNG’s other time loop adventures. Grab your tea, Earl Grey, hot—this one’s a journey through missed chances in the final frontier!

In this episode, James and Andrew dive into the shocking Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Skin of Evil." For the first time in Star Trek history, a main character is killed off—Tasha Yar's sudden and brutal death stuns the crew and fans alike. While James sympathizes with Yar, Andrew surprisingly feels more pity for Armus, the malevolent creature responsible for her demise.

The duo debates whether Yar's death should have been more meaningful. Riker’s disturbing encounter with Armus, where he's pulled into the black oil slick, sparks discussion on his intense reaction and the unsettling imagery.

Finally, they theorise about the mysterious beings who abandoned Armus, shedding their "skin of evil," and explore what kind of powerful entities could create such a creature. A thought-provoking discussion for fans of TNG who love to dissect the deeper themes of this iconic series!
