Why does this episode remind us of Nintendo's power glove? Remember the power glove?! Anyway, in this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Peak Performance" (s2e21). There is a famous "that guy" who is overseeing a crazy war game exercise which pits Captain Picard and Commander Riker against each other. Riker recruits a group of people from the Enterprise and encourages them to improv, which is basically cheating. What do the divas say about this episode? Listen and find out!

The crew of the Enterprise is tasked with capturing a mysterious box… which just so happens to contain Worf’s ex-girlfriend. In this episode of Holodeck Divas, Stef and Chris dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The Emissary” (S2E20), where a crew of Klingons wakes up after decades of cryosleep and immediately decides the Federation is still the enemy.

Trigger Warning for this episode: We know this episode demonstrates a lot of problematic behavior, and all things being equal, we would be outraged. Alas, it's a Lwaxana Troi episode! We explain early in the episode. In this episode of Holodeck Divas, we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Manhunt" (s2e19). Lwaxana Troi is looking for a mate, while the Enterprise's crew is responsible for escorting her to a summit since she's now an ambassador. Meanwhile, there are weird assassin fish people.

Oh no Worf is sick, and then he isn't. We aren't sure what that has to do with the rest of the story, but Worf getting sick does happen. In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Up the Long Ladder" (s2e18). Stef and Chris were extra chaotic in this episode, and that should tell you how they feel about the episode, though there's some fun stuff to talk about. Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

What does Picard having heart issues have to do with Geordi being kidnapped? Absolutely nothing, and that's part of the problem with this episode.

Is suffering from "daddy issues" the same thing as a Sci-Fi conundrum? Let's fine out! In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "The Icarus Factor" (s2e14). We meet William Riker's Dad, and things go sideways very fast, but Dr. Pulaski seems to be in love with him. WHAT?! At least there's an enjoyable Worf-related B plot. Listen to hear what Stef and Chris have to say about this episode.

Small spoiler for this episode: This wasn't our favorite episode but we're told we are very entertaining when we don't like a episode. In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss another Maurice Hurley written episode of Star Trek - The Next Generation, Time Squared (s2e13). Captain Picard suddenly has a totally different personality, and Riker can't make a omelett (which has nothing to do with the rest of the story). Join us as we "celebrate" this episode of TNG.
