Nitpicking: The Next Generation

This depressing early attempt to grapple with climate change is ultimately a good idea desperately seeking a B-plot.

This episode wraps one of the single best character moments in the whole of TNG in a tortilla of stupid. Includes guest commentator Jill Neff.

The last Lwaxana Troi episode features standout performances by Marina Sirtis and Majel Barrett.

Data started this season by torturing one shipmate and in this science-danger episode, he stabs another.

An episode that almost breaks the two-parter curse with a strong second half, but where we still end up clapping for Tinkerbell.

In this episode of mostly setup, it's another trip to Mos Eisley, except this time the Enterprise crew are the bad guys.

This sad retread of 'Power Play' is a series of opportunities, each one missed.

Once again, shitty aliens fuck with humanity in an attempt to understand them. But at least their intentions were good!

We open the final season of TNG inauspiciously, with the crew dealing with the stupidity they displayed in Part One, all leading to one of the worst examples of the series playing at drama.

In yet another Part One that's mostly setup, Data goes evil again, proving once more that he belongs not in a Starfleet uniform, but in a junkyard.
