A Fistful of Datas! Like the producers were quick to point out, it’s been three seasons since we’ve had a good ol’ Holodeck mishap episode! So this time, why not delve into the Wild West?! Or as Worf might say, the Ancient West. In conclusion, Data is a land of contrast. Thank you.

NST: TNG - True Q - Season 6, Episode 6

Schisms! Does it make sense to have an alien abduction story when you’re already in space and hanging out with aliens 24/7? Does it make sense to have an episode where there’s not much else to it other than the thinly veiled mystery? Does it make sense for an android to compose and recite dank-ass poetry about his cat? The answer to one of these questions is an emphatic yes. The others? Uh...

A Tales of Two Cities! In 2011, a huge Star Trek mark by the name of Sam Hain really wanted to get his fan script produced. The wrinkle? The only film production access he had was in the adult film industry. What happens when a huge Star Trek fan and a bunch of adult film stars get together to put on a show? Honestly, a pretty great episode of TNG!
