It's the return of Lt. Barclay! It's the Nth Degree! First aired April 1, 1991
This episode we continue with our trip through the change of decades in film history, now at 1940 with the lavish Technicolor fantasy classic The Thief of Bagdad!!
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, an unresolved past mission from Geordi's previous ship comes back to haunt him. It's Identity Crisis! First aired March 25, 1991
For our third episode of the Pilot Program we talk about the pilot for a very famous and popular series, Seinfeld! In this case, we talk about how different the pilot was from the show that most people would come to know, and how some shows when they first start can give little indication of the iconic hit they will end up becoming.
One of the worst regarded episodes of the season, pretty much hated by everyone involved with the show---will we agree? Find out as we talk about Night Terrors!! First aired March 18, 1991
Continuing our Decades Series we now reach 1950, with a classic comedy-drama that garnered plenty of awards nominations and wins, it's Born Yesterday!!!!
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we actually get a follow up to a previous episode, with the return of the Dr. Leah Brahms character from "Booby Trap". Only this time, she's no holodeck simulation its the real thing! Uh oh Geordi! First aired March 11, 1991
Continuing our journey through the change of each decade, we now arrive at the year 1960, where we will be discussing the epic film version of Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas and many other big stars, and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's First Contact! Not to be confused with the Star Trek movie also called First Contact, with the same main cast and production team, made five years later... First aired February 18, 1991
Continuing our Decades Series, we arrive at 1970, in the midst of a major shift in film history. In this episode, we talk about the Italian film The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, the directorial debut of Dario Argento, who would become significant creator in the world of the thriller and horror genres in the decades to come.
On this episode, we get a good old fashioned space exploration mystery story, something this show often excels at, and Clues is no exception. A classic! First aired February 11, 1991
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we get a frivolous, lightly entertaining standalone episode in the spirit of the original Star Trek series, which is no surprise since the script is loosely based on an unproduced script for the original series. It's Devil's Due! First aired February 4, 1991
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we see the first introduction of the Cardassians to Star Trek canon, as Captain Picard tries to maintain the delicate ceasefire between the Cardassians and the Fedaration after a rogue Starfleet Captain who happened to be Chief O'Brien's commanding officer during the war, begins attacking Cardassian ships. First aired January 28, 1991
For our second episode of the new spinoff podcast, we're talking about 2 pilot movies intended to go to series that never got picked up, both different reworkings of the same basic premise, created by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry during the 1970s when nothing was going on with Star Trek and Roddenberry was looking for his next project. The first, Genesis II from 1973 and the second Planet Earth from 1974.
On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Data records a log! Data learns to dance from Doctor Crusher! Data smiles like a robot! Data is confused! Data gives away a bride at a wedding! Data has a day! It's Data's Day! Yay! First aired January 7, 1991

On this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we come to the end of an era with the final appearance as a regular cast member of Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher. Whether you like or hate the character, Wesley has been a significant part of the "TNG" experience up to this point, as there's doubt it will be a somewhat different show without him. Goodbye Wesley, see you next season. First aired November 19, 1990
