I'm watching TNG's 7th season alongside you, the viewer and Joie from Jump and Shoot. We're talking about climate change. In space.

Season seven puts the "beige" in The Beige and The Bold and this one is no exception. I've gravitated further from "language of television" and closer to "lazy contemporary assumptions." This episode is that so much because Star Trek just ignores climate change and then everyone pretends they handwaved technological solution to it.

It shows how the very short attention span of television is ill-suited to handle something lingering and ongoing like climate change. Imagine if this hung around Trek's neck for the next 8 years. We'd get tired of it. But hey, we'll get be beyond tired due to climate change.

Please enjoy our fun podcast.

You can listen to Jump & Shoot on Soundcloud at https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/yQLXv. The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes are posted on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM CST.
