Genesis

I'm hanging out with Gepwin this week while we watch Genesis.

I feel like our science nitpicking would be really petty and mean if anything at all happened in this episode. I'm not the kind of guy to expect big arcs out of TNG, but some level of drama and real stakes are necessary. And no, "the ship will be animals forever" is not real stakes. I can suspend my disbelief with the best of them, but my arms get tired, yo.

How stupid was this episode: 

A) Stupid 

B) So stupid

Eye of the Beholder

I'm here with Randolph this week and we're just tryin' to get it done.

It's a heavy talk about suicide. Do series trivialize sensitive topics like suicide when they talk about them? Is it worth the risk of being disrespectful to talk about it?

Thine Own Self

I continue watching each episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This time with my friend Dr. Izixs as a guest.

Delivered exactly on Wizard Central Time, it's the one where Data has hot rocks and no memory and Troi has no rocks and a hot memory. A memory of being in command.

Despite being a bit rickety, is this one of the best episodes of the season?
