Episodes
Final Mission - s4e9
January 23, 2023 15:00 - 58 minutes - 81 MBLet's all sing "Say Goodbye to Wes Crusher" to the tune "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" by Billy Joel. Or not. The meter doesn't really match up, kinda like how this episode's plot doesn't match the gravitas of Wesley's final episode. Picard wants Wesley to come with him on some cockamamie miner's quarrel mission right before the boy is to ship out to Starfleet Academy. They've been dangling this for years, but now he's finally out of the picture. Jimmie couldn't be happier. But then the shuttlec...
Future Imperfect- s4e8
January 16, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBRiker will have to grow old eventually people, let's get it over with. Here the crew jumps 16 years into the future but Riker's son recreates the Enterprise slightly imperfectly. Peace with the Romulans? Ferengi ensigns? Marrying a simulation? Well, in sci-fi, anything is possible. The writing here goes out of its way to feel original, and the performances by Frakes and guest kid Chris Demetral as Jean-Luc Riker. Too bad Tomalak couldn't figure out what to do with his hands. Get in touch...
Reunion - s4e7
January 09, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 164 MBSpoiler Alert! Worf had a secret baby with K'Ehleyr and thought right before a tense moment of negotiation between the Klingon Empire and the Federation was the best time to lay it on him. Then she has the gall to be murdered for figuring out he was discommendated because of something Duras' father did. How rude! Picard is asked to pick the next leader of the Klingon Empire for some reason, and everything works out in the end with a nice cold plate of revenge. Isn't interstellar politics gra...
Legacy - s4e6
December 12, 2022 15:00 - 51 minutes - 70.9 MBRemember Tasha Yar? And the failed colony she came from? Well it's gotten even worse now, and Tasha's sister is there to make sure it stays that way. A pair of Federation crewmen are held in captivity, and the Enterprise crew has to get them back by working with one of the factions. Ishara Yar lures them in with some fancy bluffing, action moves, and the smooching of Data's cheek. Then she shows her true colors and skill in wearing sci-fi costumes to the nines. Kate hosts this one and edited...
Remember Me - s4e5
December 05, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 87.3 MBQuoth the raven, remember more! Dr. Crusher brings her acting chops to this episode as she welcomes on an old friend to the Enterprise before - bloop! - he straight up disappears. Worf ain't having it and neither is Picard, as they try to figure out the missing people problem. Turns out Wesley's to blame, sigh, again, as he created a rogue worp bubble in engineering. There's only one person who can phase in to take care of this problem, and it's Majel Barrett as the computer wrestling with t...
Suddenly Human - s4e4
November 29, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBSuddenly Human, is in my head now! Kate sings us in on the dreamy blonde locks of our Tiger Beat Cover Boy for this episode. Adopted by the Talarians, a human teen is discovered to be the grandson of a Star Fleet admiral won in battle. Troi makes Picard adopt him, again, and the Odd Space Couple argue about everything from music, misogyny, the removing of one's gloves. Just when everything is about to be resolved, the boy murders his father figure. Freedom! Jimmie hosts this one AND does the...
Brothers - s4e3
November 14, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 84.9 MBData has a wonderful family, doesn't he? There's something funky going on with the android commander and he silently commandeers the Enterprise to go to a nearly abandoned planet. While the crew tries to figure out how to get control of the ship back in order to save a little brother from some terrible prank, he beams himself down. That's where Brent Spiner meets Brent Spiner, before another Brent Spiner shows up. It's a continuation of the contrast of Lore with his counterpart, with a dash ...
Family - s4e2
November 07, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 151 MBIt takes a while to really figure out what this episode is about - oh wait, it's FAMILY. Largely considered a quieter part three to the previous two bombastic episodes around the Borg invasion, Picard goes back home to his family's vineyard in France to cope. He meets his brother's wife and their son Renee for the first time, and reconnects with an old friend who's attempting to raise Atlantis, or something. The brother, Rober, is kind of a dick to his younger sibling, and makes fun of his f...
The Best of Both Worlds, Part Two - s4e1
October 25, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBThe culmination of the longest wait in TV (and Re:Engage) history! Dr. Erin MacDonald joins as our very special guest for this premiere of the fourth season that follows on directly after the events from the finale of season three. Dr. Erin makes the "Trek-no-babble" happen on modern Star Trek shows and she learns up our cultural bridge crew on deflector dishes, graviton particles and anti-matter spreads. Riker takes over the chair by talking to it, Data jacks into the Matrix and Locutus tea...
The Best of Both Worlds, Part One - s3e26
September 20, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBThis is it! This is the big one! For many Start Trek fans, this episode is what cemented our love of this series and this franchise. The terrifying enemy of the soulless Borg are back, and the top brass sends in the Shelby. The commander is introduced as an expert in Borg tactics and a foil to one Will Riker. They are at odds from the start, but they learn how to trust each other when the Enterprise needs them most. Abducted Picard transforming into Locutus of Borg is quick and dirty, and th...
Transfigurations - s3e25
September 12, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBEveryone love John Doe! Well, except for Worf's neck, but we'll get to that. Geordi hasn't figured out how to talk to women yet, but he gets a little yellow mojo from a mostly dead alien's brain. Dr. Crusher saves said alien, and falls for him like Florence Nightingale, but he doesn't remember who or what he is. Erik hosts this one and is non-plussed by the X-Men Jesus storyline plus the glowing yellow body suit practical effect at the end. Spoiler: John Doe is the confidence we had inside G...
Menage a Troi - s3e24
August 23, 2022 20:37 - 1 hour - 93.9 MBThe hostage nobody wants is none other than Lwaxana Troi in Majel Barrett's triumphant return to the role her husband Gene described as the Auntie Mame of the Galaxy. The Ferengi don't put on too good a look here, with Damon Tog capturing mother and daughter Troi and chess club boy toy Riker before any nookie can occur. Lwaxana distracts with the Ferengi version of oral while Wesley Crusher trains for his own oral exam, if you know what I mean. Everything works out in the end when Picard pro...
Sarek - s3e23
August 08, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 82.8 MBWho's got worse daddy issues than an aging Vulcan? Sarek does! Mark Lenard returns to go toe-to-toe with Patrick Stewart and it's illogical (ILLOGICAL! ILLOGICAL!) to assume anything other than a throw-down master class in acting is about to occur. Ambassador Sarek is onboard with his wife to complete a 97-year diplomatic mission, but he's so old that he's psycho-actively making the crew of the Enterprise collectively lose their tempers. Beverly beats Wesley, science officers beat up Riker, ...
The Most Toys - s3e22
August 01, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBPerhaps the creepiest portrayal of an abusive relationship on Star Trek. Saul Rubinek gets called in to guest star with aplomb and embodies an evil that's all too real. Data gets captured by malicious trader Kivas Fahjo, and put on display in his collection of unique items. At least 50% of the artifacts are from Earth, except for the knock-off Salacious Crumb. Data pulls the trigger on his Chekhov's varon-T disuptor and escapes with another captive, but there's always another Varria. Fahjo s...
Hollow Pursuits - s3e21
June 29, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 100 MBOne of the best portrayals of social anxiety before we even had a term for it. Lt. Barclay is, um, well, you see, one of the engineering crew of the Enterprise. Or IS HE? Special Guest Lucian Khan comes on to explain his insightful theory that this entire episode is on a holodeck WITHIN a holodeck, and honestly we're all kind of sold on the idea once you factor in some of Barclay's forthcoming appearances in Star Trek Voyager. This is a thinky one about the nature of reality, so put a sock o...
Tin Man - s3e20
June 21, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 92.6 MBA personal favorite episode for Erik. We've got Romulans chasing after a living ship, and a telepath that puts Troi's abilities to shame. Tam Elbrun played by Harry Groener does annoying parlor tricks of reading Picard's mind, and Riker hates him for it, as well as for getting his friend's killed in some kind of massacre. Data bonds with Tam, because he has no mind to be read, but Tam's love and empathy teaches Data something too: How to get Troi to give him a backhug. Get in touch with us ...
Captain’s Holiday - s3e19
June 14, 2022 15:00 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBThere's only so many horgons to go around. Upon request from Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard goes on a vacation to Indiana Jones Country by way of the Romancing the Stone Express. Vorgons travel back in time to mess up his plans for relaxation, as does a Ferengi named Stankowski, we think. But it's really Riker's shit-eating grin that serves as the backbone of this episode, and not the gratuitous shots of copious butts covered in the most transparent raincoats you've ever seen! Get in touch...
s3e19 - Captain’s Holiday
June 14, 2022 15:00 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBThere's only so many horgons to go around.

Vorgons travel back in time to mess up his plans for relaxation, as does a Ferengi named Stankowski, we think.

Get in touch...
Allegiance - s3e18
June 06, 2022 15:00 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MBCome hang out in the No Exit room with all your buddies. Doppelganger Picard is a little more impressive as a gregarious host in Ten Forward and a lot more randy with Dr. Crusher, while the real Jean-Luc Picard (please stand up!) is eating prison Apgar jelly. It's all a grand scheme to test the boundaries of authority by Jay Leno aliens, but at least Greg gets to mention Star Trek Acid Party three times in a single episode. Oh, and Irish from Red Dead Redemption (aka voice actor Kaius Harris...
Sins of the Father - s3e17
May 31, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBThere's more to these Klingons than meets the eye! Tony Todd drops in and drops a major bombshell - he's Worf's brother and their father Mogh was a traitor to the Empire. Maybe. Picard does some Kilngon Shakespeare on the home planet, including bad stunts as Worf's Cha Deech (cha'DIch if you nasty.) But the real star of the show was the matte painting and the fat-shaming. Still this episode is excellent from the top to the quiet, tragic close. One of the best of the series. Get in touch wit...
The Offspring - s3e16
May 23, 2022 15:03 - 1 hour - 113 MBData has a baby girl! And ReEngage returns with another special guest star, video game enthusiast Shams Jorjani to wax poetic on fatherhood and the "memnoir" by Brent Spiner heavily referencing this episode. Admiral Asshole wants to take Data's daughter Lal away from him after the crew has grown to love her. (Perhaps in Riker's case, a little too much.) Guinan has a significant part to play, as does Picard, but the episode is stolen by Spiner's Data and Hallie Todd's performance as Lal. This...
Yesterday’s Enterprise - s3e15
April 26, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBFantasy and sci-fi illustrator and artist Tyler Jacobson joins us to talk about this truly great episode of Star Trek. From the cinematic blue lighting to the Emmy-award winning sound design to Guinan's courage and Wesley's head, everything pops in this one! A temporal rift brings the Enterprise C forward 22 years and changes the timeline to keep Tasha Yar alive and well at tactical - which they need because the Federation is fighting the Klingons in a devastating decades-long war. Wartime P...
A Matter of Perspective - s3e14
April 19, 2022 15:00 - 59 minutes - 82 MBThree characters tell three very different stories when Boom goes the space station. Commander William T. "Harp Porn" Riker doesn't look good in this episode, no matter who you believe. Even Troi thinks he was up to something stanky with the doctors wife. The science dream team of Data, Geordi and Wesley save the day with some holodeck tomfoolery, but the real star of this episode is the truth. You can't handle it! Get in touch with us on Twitter @ReEngageTNG! Host: Kate Jaeger (@jaeger...
Deja Q - s3e13
April 11, 2022 15:00 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MBThe inscrutable Q gets his power took away. The impish John Delancie appears naked on the bridge of the Enterprise to appeal to Picard's human generosity, and defend the former omniscient being from predators. Everyone tests Q, including Guinan, Data and Dr. Crusher who all find out he's a pain in the neck while in human form. But a change of heart, and a visit from another Q named Corbin Bernstein makes everything right. Jimmie hosts this one with the energy of a Mariachi band. Get in touc...
The High Ground - s3e12
April 04, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBAll you have to know is that terrorism is bad. Unless it's good? Hard to tell from this episode in which Dr. Crusher gets caught in an empathy trap by Kiril the totally not Irish-Spaniard with a line of spray paint in his hair. Riker works with the cops to try to get Dr Crusher back, and Wesley works with science super team alpha to uncover the secret of the funky new special effects. The Irish undertones permeate throughout, as does the wishy-washiness of Captain Picard who only communicate...
The Hunted - s3e11
March 28, 2022 15:00 - 59 minutes - 81.6 MBAlternate episode title: "There's Something About Danar" - The Angosians led by Prime Minister and Pig Lover, James Cromwell, have a problem with their veterans of foreign wars. But they keep trying to sweep that under the rug with nary a mention of it on their application to join the Federation. One of them escapes, and he's one of the biggest musical theater badass-es we've ever seen on Star Trek, Jeff McCarthy aka Roga Danar. The mostly believable action sequences of this episode are a ni...
The Defector - s3e10
March 21, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBThere's something for everyone in this lovely episode that both came at the end of the Cold War and at the start of World War III! (RE: Russian invasion of Ukraine.) The Romulan who goes rogue only to admit being the admirable Admiral that will never see his family or planet again. Data remembers everything that happens for posterity, including Sir Patrick Stewart mouthing out Henry Five lines to him. You'll cheer for Klingons! The consequences of this events depicted here are felt for centu...
The Vengeance Factor - s3e9
March 14, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 91 MBEveryone is always asking about my microvirus! The Acamarians had a schism with their brethren who became galactic scavengers and/or Petruchio understudies from Kiss Me Kate. Now Picard and the Federation want them to get along so the raiding stops in this sector, but there's a little blood feud investigation that Riker and Dr. Crusher must take care of first. Oops! The Acamarian brandy is about to go down while the phaser settings go up to disintegrate. Buckle in and re:engage! Get in touc...
The Price - s3e8
March 07, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBThis one does NOT AGE WELL. Counselor Deanna Troi gets to have the spotlight in this episode, which is good. Max McCoy as the negotiator Ral is a real terrible gaslighting villain, however, in how he attempts to abuse and manipulate both Troi and the bidding process for a "stable" wormhole. We're just not sure the production knew he was a villain going in! Great moments with Riker as the foil to Ral at the proverbial poker table, and the funny Ferengi performances as a prelude to a Star Trek...
The Enemy - s3e7
February 24, 2022 21:42 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBYou never know when you'll be asked to save the life of a Romulan. This is a Geordi and Worf showcase episode, and it pulls on so many of our Cold War/Gen X sensibilities that we can barely stand it. Geordi's forced to work together with his captor to escape Galorndon Core, a planet with electrical storms to die for! Worf can save Picard in his brinksmanship with the ever-amazing Andreas Katsulas as Tomalak to avoid interstellar war, but he refuses because Romulans murdered his family. Would...
Booby Trap - s3e6
February 16, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBThis one goes off the rails pretty fast since we lose Erik along the way due to bad internets. Geordi creates not just one creepy scenario on the holodeck, but two in one episode! Picard gets jazzed about ships in bottles, then gets the crew trapped in one. Only Geordi and his robot engineer girlfriend can save the day. Well actually, Picard does that too. Anyway, Kate, Jimmie and Greg learned the only way to learn how to love someone is to create a copy of them in the holodeck. And we learn...

The Bonding - s3e5
February 10, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 93.4 MBIt's been a while since we've talked about grief. It's a very special episode with special guest, Shareef Jackson, joining our cultural bridge crew for this journey. Worf leads an away team that results in the death of a crewmate who is survived by 8-year-old real estate agent Jeremy Astor. The crew check in with each other on the loss, but none is affected more than Wesley Crusher. Jeremy's mom reappears though, and she wants to take her son back to the planet for some super fun times with ...
Who Watches the Watchers - s3e4
January 31, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 94 MBNo, this episode wasn't written by Alan Moore, but we do get some Ray Wise! The Enterprise has to go see about a duck-blind studying a primitive race in a secret observation post that, oops, isn't so invisible all of a sudden. The Prime Directive gets blown the F up, and Picard isn't too happy about it. In fact, he almost turns into an angry god when they don't listen to Riker and Troi on a cosplay/dress-up mission. Jimmie invokes The Picard, in his name, we podcast. Get in touch with us on...
The Survivors - s3e3
January 24, 2022 16:11 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBThe Husnocks aren't all bad. The Enterprise encounters a planet, the surface of which has been completed eradicated of life except for a very nice timeshare property on the Palm Coast of Florida. There lies Kevin (no really, Kevin) and his wife Rishon very much alive and well in their old age, happy to live out their days in a hellscape. There's a secret in the music box, and Deanna Troi can't get the earworm out of her head. We don't talk about Bruno, but we do discuss the many plot holes i...
Ensigns of Command - s3e2
January 17, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 86.4 MBYou'll find out what "Ensigns of Command" means by the end of this podcast, we promise! Maybe? Data has got to convince humans to abandon their post or the tar monsters that killed Tasha might eradicate them all due to an old treaty. Luckily, Captain Picard, Worf and Troi do better deciphering said treaty than the Transporter special team can figuring out a way to transport 15 thousand people. Oh, and Data gets kissed a lot. It's a very special android lovefest hosted by Kate! Get in touch ...
Evolution - s3e1 (PREMIERE)
January 10, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 98.4 MBSeason Three, BAYBEE! We're back with a tale of two doctors, Dr. Bob Kelso, er, Paul Stubbs and Dr. Beverly Crusher. Wesley is up to his old antics again: experimenting on nanites and falling asleep with cute hair, at least according to Kate. Dr. Stubbs is a wunderkind just like him and those two bond over living up to the POE-tential as a gifted kid and baseball. It's a stealth Prime Directive episode, and Ken Jenkins chews up the scenery while providing ample fodder for Star Trek Acid Part...
Shades of Grey - s2e22 (FINALE)
December 02, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 88.8 MBRiker is dying from an attack on his leg from something living on an unexplored planet. The stakes are set ridiculously high, but it's ruined by a large portion of the episode playing through clips of Riker fightin' and f**kin' from the past two seasons. The crew had to produce this one on a shoestring budget and it shows. Greg hosts Re:Engage's own little bit of a clip show as we talk through some of our own favorite moments from s1 & s2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and give shout-out...
Peak Performance - s2e21
November 24, 2021 19:38 - 1 hour - 94.4 MBStrategema Tournament in Ten Forward! One of Trek's most annoying characters ever is on the Enterprise to run some war games between Picard and Riker. The commander assembles his team of Geordi, Worf, and Wesley on an old ship previously captained by Buckaroo Bonsai. Meanwhile, Data can't beat the gamemaster Kolrami, and Pulaski's meddling means Data isn't sure if he is fit for service. Picard and the Ferengi who show up need him in fighting shape. Jimmie hosts this episode, Kate digs Kolram...
The Emissary - s2e20
November 11, 2021 22:19 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBThe Iceman Cometh! After playing poker and some tricky tractor beaming, Worf gets to explore his relationship with K'Ehleyr. She's a fast-talking career half-Klingon girl who had a connection to Worf back in the day. K'Ehleyr tells Picard that there's a Klingon ship that's been on the same mission since the Federation was still at war with them, so the Enterprise is sent to deal with them. K'Ehleyr wants to blow 'em up, but after "working out" with Worf on some personal issues in the holodec...
Manhunt - s2e19
November 02, 2021 22:01 - 1 hour - 88.2 MBThe Return of Lwaxana Troi, Dixon Hill, and special guest Cicero Holmes in the same episode?! Uh-mazing! The Enterprise is prepared for some fishy dignitaries, yet not prepared for the storm of a Betazed woman going through her "Phase." Lwaxana has chosen her mate, but the Captain dodges that bullet by dodging bullets in the holodeck as his favorite hard-boiled detective. It all gets resolved, including the reveal that Mick Fleetwood is a stone cold assassin. Don't worry, it all makes sense ...
Up the Long Ladder - s2e18
October 29, 2021 17:24 - 1 hour - 88.1 MBIt seems the space Irish don't mix well with asexual cloners. The Enterprise saves a centuries-old human colony from the European Union, er, Hegemony which is inhabited only by American stereotypes of Irish people. It's lazily played for laughs, and Riker enjoys some sexy times from a fiery guest star, but then the episode takes a turn where the sister colony's prime minister steals Riker and Pulaski's DNA. Oops! Let's abort those clones quick. Then they all decide to force these two people...
Samaritan Snare - s2e17
October 20, 2021 20:05 - 1 hour - 107 MBWe want to make our ship go to awkward conversations. The Pakleds are the big bad, which is kind of a let down after the Borg honestly. Picard has to get a procedure done (hint: it's not bowel related) and that means he's trapped telling Wesley about his life in a shuttlecraft. Riker and Geordi try to help the cunning Pakleds, but don't listen to some very reasonable warnings from Worf and Troi. Pulaski saves the day after some fine medical babble form our guest stars, while Wesley and Picar...
Q Who - s2e16
October 15, 2021 18:34 - 1 hour - 130 MBAliza Pearl (@alizapearl on Twitter & IG) is an actor, writer, cosplayer and gamer and she joins the cultural bridge crew to talk about one of the gems of the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. John DeLancie returns as Q, but now with Guinan aboard we have a whole lot more context for his imp-ery. Whoopi Goldberg serves exposition as expertly as Guinan serves Romulan Ale, and she's the first to utter the name of the most terrifying villains in sci-fi - the Borg. The Borg visit ...
Pen Pals - s2e15
October 06, 2021 18:57 - 1 hour - 109 MBScrew the Prime Directive! I've had it up to here! During a geological survey headed up by young Wesley of a system where the planets "live hard and die young" (Thanks Riker!) Data strikes up a conversation. That leads to the A plot of the crew debating whether to intervene and save young guest star Nikki Cox's people, while the B plot is Wesley managing the difficulties of managing. It all works out in the end, but not before we get some choice lines from Worf and Pulaski. Jimmie hosts this...
The Icarus Factor - s2e14
September 29, 2021 23:49 - 1 hour - 103 MBEverybody Loves Kyle Riker! Except for his son, well, at least until they swing big sticks at each other. After learning a little bit about Riker's childhood in the previous episode, we meet his father who comes along with great news: Star Fleet is offering Riker command of the USS Aries. The problem is that's in the middle of nowhere and Riker doesn't want to talk to his dad about the assignment. Kyle does talk to Dr. Pulaski, who would have married him in a hot minute. Meanwhile, Worf is a...
Time Squared - s2e13
September 24, 2021 19:42 - 1 hour - 99.6 MBTwo Picards are better than one! It turns out that's not actually true as the Enterprise encounters one of its own shuttle pods with an unresponsive but alive second Picard inside. And the pod is from the future - six hours in the future to be exact. The crew grapples with the strange knowledge that the ship will be destroyed with Opposite Day Picard as the sole survivor. There are plot holes galore that should have been filled with Q in the original story concept for this one, but in exchan...
The Royale - s2e12
September 15, 2021 17:56 - 1 hour - 97 MBWhat's not to love about a surreal romp through a 70s casino? Well apparently, it wasn't a weird ENUFF Star Trek episode for the writer Tracy Torme' since he put a pseudonym on the episode after feuding with showrunner Maurice Hurley. Still, getting to see Riker, Data and Worf fish-out-of-water this one while Picard reads the terrible novel it's all based on is enjoyable. Plus, now we know the 52 United States send a vessel outside the solar system in 2033. Better get on that! Greg hosts thi...
Contagion - s2e11
September 09, 2021 18:44 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBTurn it off and turn it back on again. That's how this plot resolves and it may just be the first time such a momentous adage was shown to the public as the rise of the digital age. The Enterprise is heading to the Romulan neutral zone to save its sister ship, the U.S.S. Yamato. Captain Varley is convinced he's found an ancient space-faring civilization with advanced technology, but his ship suddenly explodes after experiencing functional failures. Picard follows the breadcrumbs, evading the...
The Dauphin - s2e10
September 01, 2021 02:50 - 1 hour - 72.1 MBEverybody Loves Wesley! Our favorite ensign Wesley Crusher falls in love and we get the chance to see this glorious ensemble of dudes act as varying levels of of father-figure for him. Salia of Daled 4 and her protector-morph the stern ass Gozer the Gozarian, erm, Paddi Edwards need a shuttle back home, but, uh-oh, Geordi says we have to kick the tires of the Enterprise for a little bit first. That gives plenty of time for a saucy romance to develop, and Wesley finds out love is a lot more t...
