Nitpicking: The Next Generation

Not for the first time nor the last, Riker gets the Enterprise into trouble because of his boner.

Q's powers (or lack thereof) produce the ultimate impossibility: a fun and well-written Q episode.

TNG gets as political as it ever does when Dr. Crusher and Picard learn the important lesson that terrorism is bad.

A terrible combination of prime directive violations and a distilled display of incompetence when a super-soldier is let loose on the Enterprise.

In a suprisingly serious, cynical, and reasonable episode, Picard must deal with a seeming Romulan defector. And another appearance by Andreas Katsulas!

In yet another 'Factor' episode involving Riker and one of his boners, the Federation dabbles in nation-building to rid itself of a slight annoyance.

In an episode centering around a stable wormhole, we witness two empaths on opposites sides of a negotiation fail to have insight on anything. Includes guest commentator Jill Neff.

Geordi, Picard and Worf's relative dealings with the Romulans ends up producing a plot somewhere between "Enemy Mine" and "General Hospital".

The first of a pair of episodes that establish that Geordi LaForge truly is a creeper. Includes guest commentator Cynthia Taylor.

We finish off our first year of Nitpicking: The Next Generation with a surprisingly touching examination of what happens when the Enterprise crew ends up on the other side of the Prime Directive.
