    TNG THE OUTCAST REVIEW

    TNG THE OUTCAST REVIEW

    The crew of the USS Internet was delayed in delivering this latest podcast to the Federation colonies and the fault lies at the feet of the captain! Yes, I've been forced to undergo a career change that called for four intensive weeks of training and field work, which took up much of my time. But I'm back in the center chair, delivering this program which was recorded nearly a month ago and it is one of our best! We're visited by special guests Dan Deevey of GaaaysInSpaaace and Ben Ragunton of Two Gay Geeks, along with Red Shirts alum Davette See to discuss The Outcast, another TNG episode that doesn't really go all the way (see our review of The Host)! The message in this episode is about as subtle as a hammer on a nail...but is it effective? Or does it take the easy way out? Join us in a trenchant discussion of The Outcast!

    TNG LESSONS REVIEW: IS PICARD GUILTY OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT?

    TNG LESSONS REVIEW: IS PICARD GUILTY OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT?

    Welcome to part 2 of our SJW trilogy! I say that tongue firmly in cheek: last episode, we reviewed The Host and and the potentially homophobic overtones in the controversial final scene. THIS WEEK, I uncover a LOST EPISODE of The Red Shirts, which we recorded in March 2019, coincidentally with guest host Davette See, formerly of Black Girl Nerd. Well, Davette makes another appearance in this archival episode where we review the TNG episode Lessons. I make a case that this is NOT Capt. Picard's finest moment in dealing with the romance he shares with Lt. Nella Daren. And I let my frustrated inner attorney free! This is a CAN'T MISS! 
    Check out Lessons on Netflix, CBS All Access or Blu-ray, then put on your cognitive thinking cap and join us in this fascinating breakdown of one of Qstorm's favorite TNG episodes!

We discuss the nature of attraction, how Dr. Beverly Crusher handles her conundrum, we also unpack whether or not a violation of Riker takes place in this episode! And we debate the CONTROVERSIAL FINAL SCENE. Yes, we go THERE! Qstorm and Big Sexy spar over Gates McFadden's acting prowess!

Good Podcast for Star Trek Fans

If you're a fan of Star Trek, you should definitely check out this podcast. The topics vary from breaking down the TNG movies to speculating about Star Trek Discovery to discussing the best two part episodes in the Star Trek Universe. Be sure to add this podcast to your rotation.

Ted Danson 1947 ,

Terrible.

Just, terrible, awful garbage. I couldn’t force myself to get through an episode.

BenOrion ,

Coming at Star Trek....

....with a different point of view? What if you get three different ones and have to decide which fits your points? This is the show for you. Want to figure out how well certain aspects have aged? Years upon years of deep knowledge combined with new takes given the guests they have on from time to time, this is the show for the dissecting Trekkie. Give it a shot and guaranteed you will have a strong opinion by the end....
