Listen Later

In this episode, James and Andrew take a deep dive into one of the most bafflingly bad episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation—“Angel One.” Join them as they dissect the many flaws of this infamous Season 1 episode, where the writing seems to have beamed down to an alternate universe.

The hosts tackle the mysterious virus that somehow infiltrates the Enterprise with barely any explanation (spoiler alert: it's connected to Wesley throwing a snowball—yes, really). Meanwhile, Riker decides to show off his chest in true '80s fashion, and the crew visits a planet dominated by tall women who struggle with, well, acting.

From questionable plot decisions to bizarre character choices, James and Andrew leave no stone unturned. Is this episode so bad it's good, or just plain bad? Tune in and find out!
