#201 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S05E06 - "The Game". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Jared. A new, exciting game is taking the Enterprise by storm, and without the need for any exploitative microtransactions, shady lootboxes, or manipulative gambling mechanics. Nope, it's earned its popularity the old-fashioned way: simple, satisfying gameplay, backed up with just a tiiiiiiny bit of direct stimulation to the pleasure center of the brain leading to literal direct mind control. Yep, the butt-headed aliens who made this thing have managed to get even the most stick-up-his-ass Federation flagship captain under its thrall, and their victory seems all but assured... except they haven't counted on one thing: a wiener kid the likes of which even last week's Officer in Charge of Radishes would probably pants within 5 minutes, Wesley Crusher himself! Also, a Judd. And while we sadly never do find out how they managed to get Picard, Geordi, or even Worf (seriously, Worf?! Can you even imagine that?!?) to play this stupid thing, we still manage to dive into the mysteries of Data's "digestive" tract, the mind-scarring realities of interstellar anatomical knowledge, the logistics of Future Pranks, and so much more. Just follow Trek TV Law #201: strap on your favorite euphoria-inducing eyeball-lasering device, sit back, and unleash some uncomfortable giggles as you enjoy a few levels of this new episode of Trek TV! Thanks, listeners!
