#261 – ‘Hide and Q’ TNG S1E10

Riker offers Geordi the one thing he’s always wanted – an age-appropriate Wesley Crusher. Join your mortal hosts as they discuss Star Trek’s fondness for apotheosis, Riker’s references to Gary Mitchell, and the peculiar sexual politics of post-mid-1980’s Hollywood. Also, we got two new reviews, so you get two new haikus!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We begin our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Lower Decks’ fifth and final season!

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.

#249 – ‘Rascals’ TNG S6E07

Miles is put in an awkward position. Join your pro-youthanization hosts as they discuss how good writing, solid performances, and vigorous suspension of disbelief can come together to elevate a completely silly premise. Also, Dan says the thing.

#225 – ‘Imaginary Friend’ TNG S5E22

An unexpected visitor causes a ruckus in ceramics class. Join your especially-corporeal hosts as they examine this “middling but memorable” episode of TNG, which may have benefited from a few more rewrites but is elevated by excellent acting, clever concepts, and one of the more charming technobabble conversations between Geordi and Data. We also discuss other prominent imaginary friends in fiction!
