Dax! Jadzia Dax finally gets her own personal episode, but not just Jadzia, but her previous potential murderer host Curzon, too! And also Sisko, kind of! But Miles O'Brien is completely gone! For this one episode. Ricardo got too high to understand how Trills work, which affected his score, but watch as he understands how it works, in real time, as we explain it to him in terms he understands, which is Venom, starring Tom Hardy and Eminem.

We're immediately thrust into the battle of Wolf 359 and one Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Sisko's perspective on Locutus' assault that kills his wife and nearly kills his son. Where does he go from here? Working alongside a bunch of misfits on a former Cardassian space station? Getting wrapped up in Bajoran religious prophecies? Explaining baseball to noncorporeal God-like alien entities? What could go wrong?

A Tales of Two Cities! In 2011, a huge Star Trek mark by the name of Sam Hain really wanted to get his fan script produced. The wrinkle? The only film production access he had was in the adult film industry. What happens when a huge Star Trek fan and a bunch of adult film stars get together to put on a show? Honestly, a pretty great episode of TNG!

Man Of The People! Deanna's getting her life force sucked out to sustain the calm mind of an empath ambassador who needs to negotiate peace between two warring factions. Wow, that's a doozy of a sentence. Also, some other people are there, I guess. Also, this episode is RIDDLED with misogyny, from both the ambassador guy and the writer of the episode himself. Oh boy.

Time's Arrow, Part II! The rest of the Enterprise crew follows Data through the time hole, and it turns out they fit... quite well into 1893 San Francisco? While they hang out and try to find Data, Mark Twain keeps interfering, and Guinan seemingly falls in love with Picard. Why are these aliens stealing souls? Is the best solution just to wipe them out? Star Trek sure thinks so. Because that's what Star Trek has always been about: not trying to resolve our differences with alien species we just met. Yup, completely in character.

Violations! In this very special episode... of Star Trek: The Next Generation... and Newbie Star Trek... presented by Common... an obvious villain boards the ship and wrecks up a bunch of people's minds. Boy, the discussion gets heavy!

Hero Worship! Unlike last episode, this one sort of treads old ground as we re-explore Data's desire to be human, except now through the eyes of a child who wants to be like Data! Is it worth it? Does Star Trek drop the ball on one of the most devastating cuts to commercial in the whole series so far? I dunno, maybe?!

Will any of it have any significance whatsoever? I dunno, I guess we'll have to watch and see!

What happens when the show needs a cheap episode in the can, Jonathan Frakes puts back on his directing hat and starts referencing classic courtroom drama films, a nationalist zealot boards the Enterprise, Worf gets whisked away by the fervor and excitement of a witch hunt, and Picard's past mistakes are brought back to haunt him?

Night Terrors! It's basically Nightmare on Elm Street, but without Freddy Krueger! Does that make it the worst episode of season 4? We wouldn't say so, but then we say lots of things, like that OnlyFans is willing to violate the Geneva Convention, Jesus just needed to sleep off the crucifixion, that it's hard to get to Hawaii, and that Dan has quite a large body count. What are we talking about? Tune in to find out!

Nate Tang, the composer of our theme song, joins us this week as we dive into the extreme ooginess of Geordi insisting that he's done nothing wrong and the writers writing Leah Brahms to agree somehow! Wow, these were definitely different times!

First Contact! Wow, that got philosophical real fast! The episode itself is pretty great, a first contact episode from the perspective of other aliens meeting the Federation. But what started as a usual episode recap turned into discussions about political power, proof of aliens, religion, the Cold War, even random mathematical concepts like fast Fourier transforms!

Also, Jasmin's back to discuss her favorite TNG character with us! Hooray!

But hey, at least it was a much better send-off than for Denise Crosby! But were the emotional highs earned? And why is Riker spending so much time dealing with a garbage barge? Oh, because it's radioactive, fair enough.

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.

We‘re currently going through TNG!

New episodes every Tuesday!

Newbie Star Trek is part of Fugitive Frames. Catch the rest of our projects at FugitiveFrames.com!

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.

Also, Jasmin wanted to point out that Sarek's failing mental state happened to parallel the mental decline of Gene Roddenberry around the time of airing, but she didn't get a chance to mention that in the actual discussion, so she's including it here now, yay!

Hollow Pursuits! We have our first randy episode discussion with Scott as we talk about Howling Mad-- I mean Lieutenant Reginald Barclay's extreme social anxiety, general management skills, and the ethics of the holodeck. Spoiler alert: there's a LOT of steamy imagery, both implied and just directly transcribed from what's in the episode. Also, we open some Star Trek trading card packs live! Whee~!

Tin Man! Picard, crew, and some annoying Betazoid jerk decide to find a big living alien spaceship that's named "Tin Man" for purely metaphorical reasons. It kinda looks like a big blunt, which is appropriate since we recorded this episode on 4/20. It also looks like a gigantic turd, I hope that's not a metaphor for the episode or something.

Also, Jonathan Frakes directed this one, wow!

TECHNICAL NOTE: This commentary track only syncs up with the Blu-ray and Paramount+ versions of TNG. The Netflix version shortens the amount of black screen between commercial breaks, which leads to a pretty significant de-sync.
