In this episode, we meet the Klingon Devil and he has a huge mouth! When the Enterprise encounters a con woman posing as an immortal demon, it's up to Picard to convince a planet that her powers are just an act. A light hearted episode that was originally a Phase II script!

Chief O'Brien just got married, so let's probe the depths of his soul and examine the species that he hates with the burning passion of a thousand suns! The Wounded introduces the Cardassians, who would go on to be a major adversary for the Federation. When a rogue Starfleet captain begins attacking Cardassian vessels, the Enterprise must stop him before he starts a war! Trekabout's Eric and Richard stop by to chat about replicated meals, space racism, and the tone of TNG!

A day in the life of Data! When our favorite android writes a letter to the man who tried to disassemble him in season two, he decides to talk about weddings and espionage! It's a slice of life episode that introduces Keiko O'Brien and reminds you that Miles O'Brien is the most dashing man in Starfleet!

The producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation took a bold step in this episode: they decided to turn the useless character of Troi into a more shrill, and even more useless character! When the Enterprise gets caught up in a two dimensional sea of aliens, Troi loses her empathic abilities and starts shouting at everyone! Modi stops by to help me understand how things have gone so wrong for Troi, why 2D is better than 3D, and podcast scheduling!

Wesley Crusher, it is time to say good bye. We hardly knew you, but that didn't stop you from being extremely obnoxious. When Wesley and Picard crash land on a desert planet, they'll have to figure out how to deactivate alien technology to get a sip of water! Meanwhile, the Enterprise has to drag some nuclear waste into a nearby star! Fun times! It's the final regular appearance of Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher!

When Riker wakes up 16 years in the future, he's suddenly the captain of the Enterprise and has a bunch of grey streaks in his beard! What a disaster! Tana and Sean stop by to talk about the future, Riker's choice of musical instrument, and Picard being late to a party. Podcast Perfect!

It's time to talk Klingon realpolitik! When Worf's lover, the feisty K'ehleyr, returns to the Enterprise, she brings along a tiny miracle (bear with me) named Alexander! In the meantime, Picard is forced to choose who should take the head seat at the Klingon High Council when K'empec is murdered. Worf! Duras! Gowron! Let's get it on!

They've replaced the rape gangs with laser tag, but the late Tasha Yar's home planet is still a thorn in the side of the Federation! Clay stops by to discuss Tasha's sister Ishara, how much Yar is too much Yar, and how the writing for Data has either improved or plateaued. Also, is Ishara actually Linda Hamilton from the Terminator timeline?

Finally, an episode of Star Trek that was written by Sarah McLachlan! We've been waiting for so long! In this episode, Dr. Crusher starts to notice that members of the crew are slowly vanishing from the Enterprise, but it seems like she's the only person who notices. The co-hosts of Trekabout join me to discuss the character of Dr. Crusher, the return of a season one character, and whether or not this is a mystery that can carry 45 minutes of screen time!

There's a race of highly hostile aliens in our area? And they set booby traps and have killed members of the Federation before? And they're ships are no match for ours? Why don't we just blow them up? When the Enterprise discovers a human boy in the company of violent Talarians, Picard must decide to either bring him home or return him to his adoptive Talarian father, Captain Endar. What will he choose? And... why?
