Leonard Crofoot (Trent) joins us for this review and discussion of TNG's "Angel One"!
When the Enterprise visits a matriarchal society while looking for survivors from a Federation freighter, they find themselves in the middle of a gender revolution. But when the survivors refuse to leave, Trent's Angels sentence them to death. How hard is it for a society to adapt? How hard is Riker in Mistress Beata's bed?

The Enterprise visits the old farm where Data grew up, hoping to learn about Data's past. But when Star Trek introduces an "Adam and Stuart Chandler" dynamic into this Soap Opera in Space, the crew face almost certain destruction. Do androids have SSD's? Is it really that bad to hard shutdown your android? Is Lore also "fully functional"?
AND - A special guest joins us to take on Becca's Impossible Starfleet Academy Quiz Question!

Adam Nimoy, former lawyer and director (ST:TNG "Rascals" and "Timescape") talks about his new book, "The Most Human: Reconciling With My Father, Leonard Nimoy". Adam discusses the cycles of difficult relationships between fathers and sons, the cycles of addiction, how playing Spock impacted Leonard's parenting, and shares how the tools of 12 Step Recovery helped both he and Leonard find ways to reconcile in Leonard's final years.
If you find yourself in need of support, please reach out to one of these great organizations. And if one doesn't work for you, keep trying! They all approach addiction a bit differently, keep looking until you find the right fit for you. We believe in you!

When Q offers Riker an invitation to join the cult, Riker is tempted. But when the power starts corrupting absolutely, Picard and crew must remind Riker of his humanity. Would you have saved that dead child? And what was a child doing at a mining operation, anyway? Doesn't the Federation have child labor laws?

While distracted by side boob and peek-a-boo butt cheek on yet another paradise planet, young Wesley accidentally breaks a law and is to be put to death. Lawyer Picard must argue with a less developed species for his freedom.
Is ignorance of the law a valid defense? Why didn't the Prime Directive stop us from visiting this planet in the first place? Isn't the injustice that we don't just provide care to all people as a right and not that Mario's brother was radicalized by dealing with the US heath "care" system to the point where he shot a healthcare exec? Murder is wrong, and a crime -- what of justice?

When the D visits its first Melllvar cloud, mysterious things start happening to some of the crew. But when Picard himself is beamed away as energy, Data must assume the persona of Sherlock Holmes to unravel the mystery.
Will the "one weird transporter trick" make any more appearances? Were these two separate stories smashed together like peanut butter and chocolate? And what the #^&% is this diamond-shaped "statue" we're supposed to see?

This week, Kirk and the gang stumble into a scathing indictment on the class inequality in American and around the world. Is capitalism killing us? Are the people who are most subjugated essentially forced to become criminal to survive? Again... why haven't we eaten the rich yet?

When Star Trek revisits the Plane'arium storyline, the proverbial inmates have taken over the asylum led by a shapeshifting madman. Once again questions of rehabilitation, medication, and individual rights and liberty come to the fore. What effect does this new medication have on the inmate? Do inmates have the right of refusal of "care" in Star Trek?

When Star Trek trades in Cowboy Diplomacy for Marriage Diplomacy, Sarah and Allie find themselves in a very discomforting place. Why is the Federation forcing this woman to go through with the diplomatic marriage she doesn't want? Why are the Klingons even in this episode? What even are those stones in that necklace, anyway?

When Kirk and the Gang find the missing scientists dead, they also discover some cousins of the bootyheads from the pilot. With a sun going nova imminent, can good ol' human emotion save a planet full of mute aliens that we only ever see one of? Did they even try saving any of the other aliens on the other planets in this system? Why don't people just ask for help?

Meanwhile, in a different episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, some people are doing some performative jingoistic American Christian nationalism.  How are these two stories connected?  Very tenuously.
