In this week's episode, James and Andrew take on StarTrek: The Next Generation's "When the Bough Breaks," and... well,let's just say the conversation quickly drifts to other topics. This Season 1episode, cantered around the kidnapping of the Enterprise's children by a dyingsociety, fails to captivate our hosts, leading to a lively debate on whetherepisodes featuring kids are inherently weak.

While James argues that child-centric episodes often derailthe narrative, Andrew steps in to challenge this assumption with a fewexceptions. Along the way, they find themselves filling the runtime withtangents and other Trek talk to keep things interesting.

Tune in for a mix of light-hearted banter, Trek trivia, anda few moments where James and Andrew wonder how this episode even made it intoSeason 1.

Join the discussion as they ponder: Can TNG survivethe dreaded "kids episode" curse?
