We're now in Season 4, where we've picked "The Drumhead" as one of the underappreciated episodes of The Next Generation. Despite a Boimler callout in Lower Decks, Johnson definitely thinks that this episode fits the category of being underappreciated, while Mike is less sure. That being said, we both have a great time talking about this character driven episode, and digging into some of the more i...

Some are physical, some mental, some flavor of the week, some that stretch across seasons, but all of them are thought provoking...

We wrap up our Women of Trek series with a retrospective on Enterprise - which has in fact inspired Mike to begin a series rewatch! We lament over the opportunities that Enterprise never took to tell great stories with their minority characters, including poor Ensign Hoshi Sato (who had some of her best scenes with a slug, over the entire course of the show). We then move onto Subcommander T'Pol,...
