Podcast 6: The End of the Beginning

We have come to the end of the first season of Star Trek the Next Generation. Thankfully our painful and awkward episode watching is over and we can move on to better writing and acting in season 2. Because this is the end of season 1 we decided to do a few lists and recaps to point out some of the highlights. Although these highlights extended the length of the podcast beyond our standard target, we think there's some really fun stuff that justifies the extra length.

This podcast covers episodes 22-26 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 1. Our "Special" guest for this podcast is Brandon.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Star Fleet After School Specials
    Joey is a Bully
    Joey & Peter argue: Round 1 - moving the microphone
    The Death of Yar!!!
    Peter's brain leaks
    The future of television
    Joey & Peter argue: Round 2 - rating order
    The usage of taxes
