NST: TNG - Schisms - Season 6, Episode 5
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Schisms! Does it make sense to have an alien abduction story when you're already in space and hanging out with aliens 24/7? Does it make sense to have an episode where there's not much else to it other than the thinly veiled mystery? Does it make sense for an android to compose and recite dank-ass poetry about his cat? The answer to one of these questions is an emphatic yes. The others? Uh...

Monday Apr 01, 2024
Monday Apr 01, 2024
A Tales of Two Cities! In 2011, a huge Star Trek mark by the name of Sam Hain really wanted to get his fan script produced. The wrinkle? The only film production access he had was in the adult film industry. What happens when a huge Star Trek fan and a bunch of adult film stars get together to put on a show? Honestly, a pretty great episode of TNG!

Wow, that's a doozy of a sentence. Also, some other people are there, I guess. Also, this episode is RIDDLED with misogyny, from both the ambassador guy and the writer of the episode himself. Oh boy.

Time's Arrow, Part II! The rest of the Enterprise crew follows Data through the time hole, and it turns out they fit... quite well into 1893 San Francisco? While they hang out and try to find Data, Mark Twain keeps interfering, and Guinan seemingly falls in love with Picard. Why are these aliens stealing souls? Is the best solution just to wipe them out? Star Trek sure thinks so. Because that's what Star Trek has always been about: not trying to resolve our differences with alien species we just met. Yup, completely in character.

Does it hold up? Eh, maybe, maybe not. But their heart was in the right place! Except for one guy, that guy sucks. Which guy? Tune in to find out!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of suicide and assisted suicide.
Ethics! Roll out the barrel! Specifically, onto Worf's spine. Yes, it's the infamous barrel episode where an act of hilarious pratfall comedy leads to a surprisingly poignant and deep discussion about...well...ethics! Lines are drawn! Which side are YOU on?!

Hero Worship! Unlike last episode, this one sort of treads old ground as we re-explore Data's desire to be human, except now through the eyes of a child who wants to be like Data! Is it worth it? Does Star Trek drop the ball on one of the most devastating cuts to commercial in the whole series so far? I dunno, maybe?!

And we get into a bunch of discussions about our own parents, and Ricardo talks about raising his kid, and I guess they were also shooting a spaceship on a warp wave or something like that? Eh?
