Nitpicking: The Next Generation

In a wonderfully written and performed episode with a sympathetic antagonist, the Enterprise crew comes to the wrong decision regarding the Crystaline Entity.

The arrival of a new member of the crew coincides with the introduction of the Cardassian-Bajoran conflict. Includes guest commentator Jill Neff.

A fun and entertainingly executed episode about language, metaphor, and communication that ultimately makes no fucking sense.

Season Five opens with a disappointingly compressed conclusion to the Klingon civil war.

We finish up a season rife with continuity with the beginning of the end of the House of Mogh saga.

We examine continuity in plotlines and characters as we end the fourth season and take a look ahead at Season Five.

In our ONE HUNDREDTH EPISODE (how did THAT happen so fast?) we find an "exciting science!" B-plot that's almost as artificial as Data's relationship with his new girlfriend. Includes guest commentator Ryan Veeder.

A small bit of continuity does little to save an episode in which the Romulans try to stupidly reimplement The Manchurian Candiate.

Our fourth extrasode plays out as a cat-and-mouse game between James T. Kirk and a Romulan who looks very Vulcan.

In an suprisingly progressive (but not progressive enough) episode, we have another Crusher who just can't deal with change.
