Nitpicking: The Next Generation

Two goofy events that would be unlikely anywhere other than on Star Trek lead us to the return of Cranky Picard and guest commentator Cynthia Taylor's favorite line from TNG.

This middle-of-the-road Q episode is the answer to a question no one has asked.

A mix of pretty good previous episodes produces a nightmare-based terror that leads to an interesting bit of detective work on the part of the crew, resulting in a real implementation of Algorithm Two!

This charming bit of fan service has everything: technobabble, future shock, a Dyson sphere and a personal issue resolved by danger. Includes guest commentator Victor Rubio.

A collection of some of the worst Star Trek tropes, including People Who Can't Give Consent, The Wanton Woman, and The Indispensible Man, thrown into a blender along with a cursed item straight out of "Friday the 13th: The Series".

Barclay truly takes on his mantle of the everyman by assertively declaring what we all already knew: the transporter is a clever death machine.

We begin Season Six in 1800s San Francisco and wrap up things pretty much how you'd figure. Complete with aliens which, like a lot of things on Star Trek, make no sense.

The Enterprise crew makes their first jaunt through time to find yet another copy of their unique android, Data.

We talk about some of TNG's new secondary characters -- particularly Ensign Ro and Alexander Rozhenko -- and take a look ahead at Season Six.

What starts as a lovely piece of unlikely theater becomes a horrific exercise in enforced empathy.
