We begin with a follow up to last week's episode with more research into why Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) left. Because I am not buying the party line here, and find out the departure of this nepo-baby was not quite as the PR made it out to be. Things were not adding up last week and I get some much needed closure. Thank you to Den of Geek for providing insight!Check out their awesome article here: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/star-trek-the-next-generation-tasha-yar-death/ Speaking of closure, it

You guys, TASHA YAR DIES IN THIS ONE. Like game over, no resurrection, straight up dead. I was not prepared for this, I knew the character was being taken out of the series but I assumed her character was getting transferred to like the more competent ship that Starfleet doesn't have a camera crew on! NOT COOL, TNG.Oh, and making her death even worse is that Crusher basically tries to use a defibrillator ON TASHA'S BRAIN when trying to revive her. And literally no one steps in, so shame on

Ok guys, you're in for a treat, Dave did this week's episode description as he doesn't remember this one that well:This week the Prime Directive is suddenly a thing again as the Enterprise sets out to study a super cool star with a weirdly changing magnetic whatevers. The ship gets all friggin' bluey on them because no one thought powerful magnetic fields could harm computers and electrical systems. We then meet some other space freighter crew who actually make the Enterprise

So yet again, a Starfleet ship has gone missing. I mean at this point can they like budget in some Airtags or SOMETHING because this is really starting to look bad on Starfleet. How do you keep "losing ships?" Moreover, how do you keep losing all of the hundreds of people that were on the missing ship and are so blasé about it? I am embarrassed for Starfleet. Maybe they should be using money because then people would actually have some kind of reward for keeping track of ships. I

Sorry for the hiatus last week, y'all. Family stuff came up!Anyhow, we're back, and I am as confused as ever because don't these people live and work together like 24/7, pretty much 365 days a year? If so, they really need to work on their interpersonal communication because damn do they not know each other well. Like do some trust falls, or a Ropes course, or play two Datas and a Lore, y'all.So basically Picard seemingly sets up this ruse so that he and the rest of the crew can

Well if y'all have watched that documentary on Biosphere 2, you know how this episode ends. If you haven't, here's what you should know. Sealing 4 people up in a terraforming base that could be on that "Tiny House" show is a bad idea, especially when one of the actors moonlights as...a Bond KGB antagonist! Just to be clear though he's not in the KGB in the Star Trek Universe. Anyway, these terraformers really suck at their jobs and are killing off the native population

Well we got a doozy this week. This is a pretty middle of the road episode, gotta say. Long story short, a childless planet kidnaps a few kids off of the Enterprise, including Wesley (they have kidnapper's remorse like immediately) but I guess it's bad manners to return kidnapped kids so they're just stuck with him?No one seems to understand radiation, Chris Hansen is nowhere in sight, and we find out that children have a trombone value, which Riker would like to evaluate further as

So we have this dude in super terrible prosthetics who is like in his mid 20s pretending to be 100 and it takes you out of the episode right away. I mean, these are really embarrassing prosthetics. I'm guessing the make up dude responsible for them was just dumped by his significant other and was just phoning it in that week. It's bad. And they forgot to do the actor's hands, so he has the hands of a 20 something.You can guess where this goes, young actor pretending to be old

Well well well, this is exactly why Starfleet needs to update their IT staff and not make them as disposable as Singh, because then episodes like this wouldn't happen. The Enterprise stops by a space base for some R & R and software updates to make the holodeck a little bit less murdery only for it to go awry when the software starts acting crazy!Picard third wheels a holodate with Riker, I assume Crusher opened spam to print out a fake MD or DVM Diploma which is why the software probably

If you really like left nipples, this is episode is for you! The team visits a matriarchal planet where the women make their men wear navel necks that expose their left nipples. And very tight pants, probs with padding. Because male writers in the 80's totally know what women want to see, so chill ladies, this is for your benefit.

Honestly though, what are they teaching at Starfleet Academy? Because it's definitely not good leadership. Or empathy. Picard needs to memorize some Hallmark apology cards or something.The crew (not Data) decide to invite themselves to Data's home planet where they poke around his past and bring up a homicidal Data doppelgänger that maybe was left dissembled by the now dead colonists for a reason? But no, Picard knows better.Lore, Data's double, is Lore-din over Data how much more

Despite depriving his entire crew of some much need free massages and relaxation after the whole "Troi's betrothed jumping ship to chill with ebola Farrah Fawcett," Picard decides he's just too stressed to do his work and instead goes on a selfish adventure in the 1940s on the Holodeck, which apparently is like the Matrix in this episode because if you die in it...you die for real!This is because it breaks down, so maybe they should read up about mechanical failures at places

You guys. My (Amara’s) favorite burrito place closed down permanently and we found out an hour before recording this episode, so I’m like at an eleven the entire time, sorry in advance. Picard is dodgy as heck in my book, and Dave and I recorded over two hours of heated debate about Picard and Ferengi relations which is why this episode is a bit jumpy in some places (I had to trim it down majorly), it got intense, may have been fueled by my burrito angst.In this episode, Picard may or may not have
