Aging and Death.   Death is a natural part of life and an unavoidable consequence of aging, even in the 24th century. As time marches on, so must we.

Wesley's Starfleet.   Ever since we met Wesley Crusher, he has always wanted to join Starfleet and become an officer. What is it about Starfleet that has Wesley so enamored?

317: Picard's Spirit Animal

March 24, 2020 12:30 - 1 hour - 69.9 MB

Favorite Badass Guinan Moments. Guinan first appeared at the start of the second season of The Next Generation and she quickly became a fan favorite character.

March 10, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 52.9 MB

Picard's Best Partner. Over the course of seven seasons and four movies, Captain Picard has his share of love interests, from the romantic tension with Dr. Beverly Crusher that begins in the very first episode to his love affair with Anij in Insurrection.

309: Continue Your Work

January 28, 2020 13:30 - 1 hour - 53.1 MB

Favorite Badass Data Moments. Data is a fan favorite character on The Next Generation and now Star Trek: Picard. He's known for being the operations officer and second officer on the Federation flagship, for his limitless curiosity, and for being an android on a quest to understand what it means to be human.

306: We Haven't Forgotten Our Past

January 07, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

High Culture in TNG.   When The Next Generation had a cultural reference or an artistic performance, it was often part of what would be called high culture, such as Shakespeare, classical music, or painting. Although cultural references and performances considered to be among the highest accomplishments of Earth culture go back as far as the first season of The Original Series, The Next Generation seems to bring this type of culture into the lives of its characters more than any other Star...

December 10, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

First Contacts in TNG. To communicate with new life and new civilizations through first contact is one of the primary missions of a Starfleet crew and the crews of the Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E are no exception. The first contacts that we see rarely seem to be easy, whether with space-faring jellyfish, subspace aliens kidnapping the crew, or the malevolent collective consciousness of the Borg, but it does make for a great discussion topic.

Undercover Missions.   Whilst Star Trek has always shown us a positive vision of the future, there have been times when stealth and disguise have been required.
