Shades of Gray | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E22)

Give Me Genesis - A Star Trek Podcast ·

2025/09/01

James and Andrew tackle Star Trek: The Next Generation’s infamous season two finale, Shades of Gray—an episode many fans wish had been erased from canon. While it’s often remembered as the dreaded “clip show,” Andrew argues that enduring this low point helps you better appreciate the brilliance of Trek’s later storytelling. The hosts dig into what could have made the episode better—what alternatives might have worked in place of recycled footage—while also empathising with the writing team’s

2025/08/18

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Peak Performance,” a story that could – and perhaps should – have closed out Season 2. They unpack how this thrilling war-game scenario becomes so much more than just a tactical exercise, celebrating Data’s quiet but meaningful victory over the smug and delightfully comical Kolrami.The review highlights how the episode smartly pairs up Picard with Data aboard the Enterprise and Riker with Worf on the Hathaway,

2025/08/04

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The Emissary” — not a heavy sci-fi tale, and not your typical plot-driven trek, but a character-rich story that lingers long after the credits roll. This one’s all about Worf and the unforgettable K’Ehleyr. The guys unpack the cultural tension and emotional conflict that simmer beneath the surface of this complicated pair. K’Ehleyr’s sharp wit, vulnerability, and self-awareness bring out a different side of Worf,

Originally conceived as a continuation of the holodeck fun from Season One’s “The Big Goodbye,” this episode instead pivots to a more “romantic” pursuit — Lwaxana’s unrelenting affection for Captain Picard.Is

2025/07/11

Clones, Cowbells, and Klingon Tea....It’s two for two on the absurdity scale as James and Andrew wade into Up The Long Ladder, a TNG episode that starts off as rural space comedy and swerves hard into clone-based bioethics. While fans might struggle to find their footing in this tonal rollercoaster, the Enterprise crew seem to be having the time of their lives—Picard’s laughing, Riker is enthusiastically… welcoming Ms. Odell, and Danilo Odell discovers the joys of Klingon liquor.

They discuss the strong writing behind the crew's ethical debate over interfering with a pre-warp civilization to save a young girl's planet from destruction — a classic Prime Directive conundrum that puts Picard’s leadership to the test.Wesley Crusher also gets a spotlight in this episode, not as the usual boy genius, but as a

2025/05/26

This week, James and Andrew take on The Icarus Factor, a divisive episode that has some fans intrigued by its emotional depth—and others left wondering what could have been. On the surface, it’s about Riker facing a career-defining decision, but beneath that, tensions run deeper: a long-absent father, unspoken grief, and crew members confronting personal demons. Andrew likens the episode’s tone to that of a spacefaring soap opera, as interpersonal drama takes centre stage. James, meanwhile, raises

2025/05/05

James and Andrew beam into The Royale, a Season 2 detour into a bizarre 20th-century hotel where things are… oddly Earthy. In this episode of the podcast, our hosts land somewhere in the middle: while the absurdity of the plot doesn’t do much to expand the Trek universe, there’s still some fun to be had. From Worf’s unexpectedly hilarious lines to Data’s suspiciously emotion-filled antics (who needs an emotion chip?), there’s enough charm to keep it light. Is it a campy classic or a forgettable

This week, James and Andrew tackle The Dauphin, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that tries (and mostly fails) to make Wesley Crusher’s first love story compelling. While the romance itself doesn’t do the episode any favours, Worf’s unforgettable one-liners and his interactions with Anya bring some unexpected entertainment.Strangely, The Dauphin seems to escape the level of criticism thrown at Code of Honor, despite its own problematic moments—like Picard’s off-putting “everyone is human”

This classic Season 2 episode delivers a powerful courtroom drama as Captain Picard fights for Data’s right to be recognized as a sentient being. But is Data truly more than just a sophisticated toaster? That’s the debate of the day!
