48:48

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 18 (Coming of Age) Hey babes, remember us!? We'rrrrrre back! After a long hiatus, Mike and Nic are back to analyze a relatively tame but lovely episode of TNG where nothing much happens except for everyone being really good friends. It's all #WholesomeContent. Our analysis focuses mainly o…

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 17 (Home Soil) Hey babes, happy 2023!!! We're are thrilled to kick-off the new year with one of our all-time favorite episodes of TNG - Home Soil - where the crew get told to fuck off by an indigenous lifeform.

1:51:01

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 16 (When the Bough Breaks) Happy LANDBACK Day! Mike and Nic come back after a long break full of piss and vinegar, ready to review an episode jam-packed with complex themes. What we lack in regular posting, we make up for in rowdiness. And conversations about dog poop (you'll see!). When t…

S1E15 Too Short a Season: The One in Which Age Ain't Nothing But a Number 1:19:21

1+ y ago1:19:21

1:19:21

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 15 (Too Short a Season) We come back from a mini-hiatus to an episode that we had mixed opinions about. Mike enjoyed the exploration of men broken by toxic masculinity, while Nic was bored and missing her sweet baby boys. What we were definitely in agreement on was that the makeup/prosthet…

S1E14 11001001: The One in Which Riker Falls in Love with a Manic Pixie Dream Hologirl 1:35:09

1+ y ago1:35:09

1:35:09

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 14 (11001001) 11001001 brings us a contradictory episode - on one side, an interesting premise of a nonbinary binary species from a planet where technology and organic beings have fully integrated; on the other side, a misogynistic, weird male fantasy. We dig into the analysis, exploring h…

S1E13 Angel One: The One in Which Riker Overcomes Reverse Sexism 1:25:40

1+ y ago1:25:40

1:25:40

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 13 (Angel One) Hoo boi, this episode was fucking BORING. Despite that, we managed to have a lot of fun recapping and analyzing this snoozefest. We spend most of the analysis portion of the show talking about the irresponsibility and laziness of the "reverse oppression" trope - how it usual…

1:49:40

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 12 (Datalore) In an episode so wonderful it's as if it was plucked fully formed from Nic's head, today we revel in the pure joy that is Datalore - an episode that is BOTH Data- and Wesley-centric. Whoowee! Datalore hits on several deep topics while dancing along a delicious camp edge. We e…

S1E11 The Big Goodbye: The One in Which Bev Gets Picard-Blocked 1:15:45

2y ago1:15:45

1:15:45

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 11 (The Big Goodbye) Oh boy, it's a holodeck episode and we are NOT happy about it! We're stuck with a Dixon Hill theme and 1940s San Francisco, questions about how tf the holodeck works and whether or not the crew is creating and destroying sentient life every time they use it, and poor B…

S1E10 Haven: The One in Which Deanna Almost Gets Married 1:34:00

1:34:00

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 10 (Haven) Two fun episodes in a row, woowee! In this campy romp, Deanna gets a visit from her mother, future in-laws, and future husband (Wyatt) on a surprise arranged marriage visit, and chaos ensues! Riker is the poutiest baby in the universe, Lwaxana is a force of nature, and Data love…

1:14:59

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 9 (Hide and Q) Our two favorite space daddies square off again in this week's wild, fun episode. We see Riker turn into a villain within mere moments of being given powers, we see Picard being super chill about it, and we learn the crew doesn't want those ill-gotten gifts! The episode is n…

1:16:26

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 8 (The Battle) We are with the Ferengi again in another offensive and poorly written episode, although we get some amazing lines from our favorite boys, Data and Wesley! The episode's storyline, which focuses on a past battle in which Picard destroyed an unidentified ship in defense after …

2y ago2:10:13

2:10:13

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 7 (Justice) In an episode jam-packed with very UNsexy shenanigans and rudimentary philosophical ponderings, it's hard to even say what this one is about: capital punishment, free love, god, the prime directive, the trolley problem... Nic and Mike explore the subtle undercurrent of patriarc…

S1E6 Lonely Among Us: The One in Which Picard Turns into Pure Energy 1:38:25

1:38:25

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 6 (Lonely Among Us) In an episode so jam-packed with random shit, it's hard to even say what this episode is about but we pull from the many threads to talk about themes of vegan issues (indigenous hunting grounds, lab-grown meat, factory farming, etc.), education systems, the Federation's…

S1E5 Where No One Has Gone Before: The One in Which Wesley Meets the Traveler 1:26:56

1:26:56

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 5 (Where No One Has Gone Before) OMG Y'ALL WE DID IT! We made it to an episode that is good, actually. No racism, no antisemitism, no sexism; just a good ol' space adventure heavy on philosophy and queer vibes. This episode is Wesley Crusher-centric and you KNOW that makes us happy! In thi…

S1E4 The Last Outpost: The One in Which Star Trek Does an Antisemitism 1:15:03

1:15:03

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 4 (The Last Outpost) After some subtle but intriguing build-up over the last three episodes, we finally meet the Ferengi and they are...not great. Falling into the "Space Jew" trope, the Ferengi encapsulate a lot of issues discussed in the last episode: Orientalism, colonialism/anti-Indige…

S1E3 Code of Honor: The One in Which Star Trek Does a Racism 1:50:17

2y ago1:50:17

1:50:17

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 3 (Code of Honor) The focus of today's show is (arguably) the most notorious Star Trek episode of any series, an episode so overtly racist that the director of it was fired DURING production. In the '80s. Mike and Nic do their whitest best to analyze the harmful themes presented within whi…

55:38

Star Trek: The Next Generation analysis of season 1 episode 2 (The Naked Now) Inexplicably, the second-ever episode of TNG finds the crew drunk off dying dwarf star juice and lookin' to bone DOWN. In an episode that is mostly nonsense, we find many things to laugh about and a few to analyze. The first thing we noticed was that this episode hits dif…

S1E1 Encounter at Farpoint: The One in Which it Went on Too Long 1:35:05

1:35:05

Star Trek: The Next Generation episode analysis of season 1 episode 1 [Encounter at Farpoint] Technically a two-part episode, Encounter at Farpoint now streams as a single, bloated, unbearably long episode. Mike and Nic recap the events of this clunky pilot episode and then do an analysis of the themes presented throughout, and how the pilot introd…
