After a little detour loving on the excellent 90s show Sister Sister, we tackle another of our personal top 3 episodes, this time looking at season 3 TNG episode "The Defector." We're surprised to find that this is another episode that was better in our memory than in a rewatch and we're pretty sure that this is a poor man's remake of The Balance of Terror. Good, not great, but still one of Emmanuel's favorites, even with some truly heinous costuming choices. Tangents include: James Doohan on the ISS, dreamscapes, the confusing use of Shakespeare as a plot device, and the musical stylings of John Legend.
