Time to get out the popcorn worms and watch this iconic tale from TNG’s ‘Starfleet politics’ department. Some of the special effects have stood the test of time, and the plot and characterisation mostly hold up too. Grant and Rob have been looking forward to Conspiracy as a season one highlight – will they be disappointed for not?

Episode synopsis:  9th May 1988.
