  • Justice (TNG)
    Jan 9 2025

    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?

  • Lonely Among Us (TNG)
    Jan 2 2025

    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?
