In this episode, the Enterprise visits the magical land of Oz in order to get their own personal tin man, Data, a heart! Or maybe they just find a living space ship and an obnoxious telepath and decide to leave them in each others company? Clay stops by to discuss the "Tin Man" episode of The Next Generation!

A bit of a break from the norm with this episode! "Chaos on the Bridge" is a documentary film by William Shatner that dissects the first three years of the TNG era of Star Trek. Through extensive interviews, Shatner paints a picture of a dysfunctional production that started at the top, with Gene Roddenberry. Clay joins me to discuss all the gossip and juicy details!

You could really use a vacation! When the crew starts hassling Picard into taking some shore leave, he ends up on Risa, the "pleasure planet". After meeting a sexy stranger, Picard embarks on an Indiana Jones style adventure, complete with unnecessary time travel! Plus, this one's got comedy!

A kidnapped Picard must try to solve a locked room mystery while his evil doppleganger, Fauxcard, commands the Enterprise and begins issuing strange orders to the crew! Will the crew be able to solve the mystery before Fauxcard drives the ship into a pulsar?

Worf learned to be a Klingon by reading a bunch of books, right? He might be of the opinion that the Klingon Empire is built on honor, but he's in for a rude awakening when his long lost brother shows up and demands that Worf defend their family honor on the Klingon home world!

When Data builds his very own android daughter, he learns a valuable lesson about love, friendship and double checking your system subroutines. Clay joins me to discuss an emotionally heavy episode that brings Data (remember him?) back into the TNG fold!

A huge event in Trek lore! Wesley is capable and completely normal for an entire episode! Actually, this episode features the return of a beloved... uh... respected... uh... original cast member! When the Enterprise 1701-C enters the present from 22 years in the past, the entire timeline shifts so that the Federation is embroiled in a bloody war with the Klingon Empire. New sets, new uniforms, new starts!

It's the classic "he said, she said" story, where a couple can't decide if one person is a loose woman or if the other is a pervert who can't keep his hands to himself! When Riker is accused of murder, the holodeck is used to give the viewers a "Rashomon" type experience where it's impossible to tell the truth from the fiction. Or is it? This episode also shows you what will happen if you frequently stand next to a microwave.

When Q gets exiled from the Q Continuum, he chooses to live as a human. Unfortunately, he also chooses to live on the Enterprise, much to the chagrin of the crew. Data, however, is perfectly set up to be Q's friend! It doesn't quite spin off into a buddy cop show, but we do learn a valuable lesson about sacrifice and torturing lesser beings.

The writers of TNG continue to show their unbridled enthusiasm for all things Irish in "The High Ground"! When Dr. Crusher is taken hostage by an alien sect bearing a strong resemblance to the IRA, it's up to Picard and the crew to rescue her from the dark cave where she's being held! Clay and I disagree about this one, let us know who's right!
