Legacy! Tasha's long-lost sister, Ishara, shows up outta nowhere, and, of course, Data's immediately smitten. To be fair, the whole crew, save for Deanna, is pretty smitten with her, too. Who can blame them, with that haircut and jumpsuit? Though she's definitely cribbing the whole Sarah Connor look. But hey, let's see how this inevitable betrayal eventual plays out!

Remember Me! Why did Pixar steal the entire plot of this movie? What a bunch of frauds! But in all seriousness, an actually really great script and great performance by Gates McFadden that's completely ruined by the reintroduction of the Traveler and Star Wars-style mystical BS! A spirited discussion this shall be!

Suddenly Human! What if The Searchers didn't end in such a toxic way? What if Picard was okay with children? What if aliens were allowed to listen to space prog rock? All of these questions, and more, too much more, will be answered in this episode!

Brothers! Data goes nuts and decides to hijack the Enterprise! Why? Maybe it's so he can find his brother? Surely the episode title didn't give it away! Also, watch as Brent Spiner does the Austin Powers/Klumps shtick before Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy ever did! Dan also informs me that he wanted to compare Lore meeting Noonien Soong to when Will Smith met his father again in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but he forgot to mention it during the podcast recording, so here we are in the podcast description instead. Also, we have a special retrospective to celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, but that's not really related to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air at all.

Family! Wow, a ton of stuff happened in Best of Both Worlds, eh? Some mind control, some countless loss of life, tons of explosions, and I'm sure Picard came through all of it totally okay without any trauma at all. So this episode is just a long pleasant trip back home where he sips some wine and gets into sexy mud wrestling fights with his grumpy brother. Also, Worf is still butt-hurt over his honor, and I guess also we find out what Wesley's dad looks like. Also, it turns out Wesley Crusher comes from a long line of criminal Crushers, so that all fits.

The Best of Both Worlds, Part I! The episode that is widely considered the best season finale of any Star Trek show and firmly put TNG on the map in mainstream Americans' eyes, but does it stand up to scrutiny by the Newbie Star Trek panel?! Scott joins us once again as he guides our hips through the re-emergence of the Borg, potential cast replacements, a cliffhanger that shocked America, and Patrick Stewart's sexy half-Batsuit onesie!

Transfigurations! Is this episode a Jesus metaphor? Or is it an X-Men metaphor? Or, as Dan forgot to mention on the podcast and thus we're mentioning it here, a Digimon metaphor? We dunno, but at the very least it's a camel toe exhibition. Also, Geordi's arc is that he becomes a lady's man and then pretty much just stays that way. Wow! All's well that ends well!

Ménage à Troi! Surprisingly, the episode isn't about a three-way. Instead, it's about Deanna's mom being an overbearing jerk, Ferengis committing multiple acts of sexual assault, Wesley's white privilege, and Patrick Stewart revisiting his Shakespearean roots. Unless, that's actually what three-ways are really all about? We've never been in one, so we wouldn't know.
