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.
