The Loss Revisited: Unfortunately, We Found It
While en route to somewhere unimportant, the Enterprise encounters a new phenomenon that causes Troi to lose her empathic abilities. She handles this development very, very poorly. Riker demonstrates how best to externalize misogyny. Everyone else is just trying to survive. This week’s TNG Rewatch has me suffering through “The Loss,” so you don’t have to.
Sibling Rivalry: Brothers Revisited
The Enterprise speeds toward a Star Base to save the life of a boy with terrible taste in fruit, and Data suddenly commandeers the ship, locks out the command crew, and diverts the ship to Planet Nowhere. There, he finds a surprising family reunion that goes about as well as you expect. This week, we’re covering Brothers on TNG Re-watch.
Short Trekking Across Discovery
This week, we’re taking a break from the TNG Rewatch to cover some of the big news from NYCC and the two new Short Treks. We’ve got Spock. We’ve got Number One. We’ve got Tribbles, and we’ve got H. Jon Benjamin in his underoos. It’s a mixed bag on CBS All Access, folks, so hold on to your communicators.
Sometimes You Can Go Home Again: “Family” Revisited
In the aftermath of Wolf 359, the Enterprise remains near Earth allowing the crew some much needed shore leave. Others experience surprise visits from their parents. Still others are able to retrieve precious objects. This week on TNG Rewatch, we’re covering “Family.”
Best of Both Worlds Part II: Tricksy Riker
Our intrepid crew races to Earth’s rescue, hoping that they can rescue their beloved captain in the interim. There are off-camera space battles, awkward Borg underpants, and more of Shelby’s terrible 80’s hair. We’re finishing the Borg two-parter on this week’s TNG Rewatch.
Best of Both Worlds Part One: Best Cliffhanger of the Nineties
The Enterprise encounters the Borg again, and a new commander threatens Riker’s spot in the second chair on the bridge. Guinan offers pithy advice, and the episode features what is possibly the best cliffhanger ending of the nineties. It’s the “Best of Both Worlds” on this week’s TNG Rewatch.
Apocalyptic Time Travel: “Yesterday’s Enterprise”
One of the real gems of TNG’s third season sees the Enterprise D reunited with the Enterprise C with disastrous results: a Klingon War, Tasha Yar’s return, and really, really terrible weapon belts on the standard uniforms. The TNG Rewatch for this week is “Yesterday’s Enterprise.”
The (Not So) High Ground
A group of violent separatists take Beverly Crusher hostage because they need a doctor, and while the Enterprise gets her back, no one leaves the planet unscathed. This week on TNG Rewatch, we revisit “The High Ground.”
The Hunted: First Blood, Part Star Trek
The Enterprise and crew evaluate a planet applying for membership in the Federation. Everything looks good on the surface, even if the local population is a bit boring, until they discover that not everything is as it seems. This week’s TNG Rewatch revisits The Hunted.
Déjà vu for Deja Q
Q has been defrocked by his fellows, and he seeks asylum from his favorite species, the particular breed of Human that inhabits the USS Enterprise. The rest of the crew are not so thrilled with their new passenger whose histrionics are distracting everyone from their efforts to save Bre’el IV from a misbehaving moon. TNG Rewatch Continues with Deja Q.
