Hey folks! James here, your fellow die-hard Trekkie. Just wanted to drop by and say how thrilled I am to be co-hosting this podcast with my friend, Andrew.

Shades of Gray | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E22)

Season 2 · Episode 22

Monday, September 1, 2025 • Duration 36:46

James and Andrew tackle Star Trek: The Next Generation’s infamous season two finale, Shades of Gray—an episode many fans wish had been erased from canon. While it’s often remembered as the dreaded “clip show,” Andrew argues that enduring this low point helps you better appreciate the brilliance of Trek’s later storytelling. The hosts dig into what could have made the episode better—what alternatives might have worked in place of recycled footage—while also empathising with the writing team’s impossible time crunch that led to its creation. Unfortunately, it’s a disappointing note to end a season on, and the guys reflect on how much stronger the series would soon become. This review also marks a bittersweet milestone: Andrew’s final episode review on Give Me Genesis. Andrew will still join us for the season 2 charades and season 2 final review, with the hope that he’ll return for future episodes here and there.🖖 Like, comment, follow and subscribe for more TNG reviews!👑 Patreon – Support the show: www.patreon.com/Givemegenesis▶️ YouTube -- Watch is here: www.youtube.com/@Givemegenesis 📘 Facebook – Follow us here: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560015058600📸 instagram -- Follow us here: instagram.com/givemegenesis🎵 Spotify – Listen to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6C9v9aBx7rVxiwyE8UNONp📱Tik Tok - Follow us here: tiktok.com/@give.me.genesis#startrek #startrekTNG #startrekpodcast #SciFi

Peak Performance | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E21)

Season 2 · Episode 21

Monday, August 18, 2025 • Duration 48:34

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Peak Performance,” a story that could – and perhaps should – have closed out Season 2. They unpack how this thrilling war-game scenario becomes so much more than just a tactical exercise, celebrating Data’s quiet but meaningful victory over the smug and delightfully comical Kolrami.The review highlights how the episode smartly pairs up Picard with Data aboard the Enterprise and Riker with Worf on the Hathaway, giving room for genuine character development and camaraderie. James and Andrew also reflect on how the lingering shadow of the Borg encounter adds weight to the story, reminding us that their threat isn’t a one-off. And just when you think you know where things are going, the script delivers a double twist: a faux Romulan Warbird and the very real danger of an unannounced Ferengi attack.From Kolrami’s arrogant performance to Picard’s memorable reflection on how one can make no mistakes and still lose, “Peak Performance” shines as a layered and surprising episode. James and Andrew argue that it would have been a stronger, more resonant season finale than what we actually got – and they make a strong case for it.

The Emissary | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E20)

Monday, August 4, 2025 • Duration 43:20

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “The Emissary” — not a heavy sci-fi tale, and not your typical plot-driven trek, but a character-rich story that lingers long after the credits roll. This one’s all about Worf and the unforgettable K’Ehleyr. The guys unpack the cultural tension and emotional conflict that simmer beneath the surface of this complicated pair. K’Ehleyr’s sharp wit, vulnerability, and self-awareness bring out a different side of Worf, challenging his stoic warrior code and revealing the turmoil beneath. It's a rare episode that trades warp core breaches for personal reckoning — and the result is one of the most quietly compelling hours of TNG. Join James and Andrew as they celebrate Suzie Plakson’s powerhouse performance, debate Worf’s choices, and explore why “The Emissary” resonates so deeply without ever leaving orbit.

Manhunt | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E19)

Season 2 · Episode 19

Monday, July 21, 2025 • Duration 45:55

Originally intended as a sequel to “The Big Goodbye”... but somehow we ended up here.

James and Andrew beam in to review “Manhunt,” a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that takes a sharp detour from its noir roots and lands us squarely in the flamboyant gravitational pull of Lwaxana Troi. Originally conceived as a continuation of the holodeck fun from Season One’s “The Big Goodbye,” this episode instead pivots to a more “romantic” pursuit — Lwaxana’s unrelenting affection for Captain Picard.

Is it a charming detour or an unwelcome filler in a season already peppered with lighter fare? That depends entirely on how much Lwaxana you can handle in one sitting. James and Andrew wrestle with that question and try to find the signal in the static of Betazoid theatrics.

A love letter, a misfire, or just a mid-season palate cleanser? Join us as we unpack Mantrap — the episode that boldly goes... maybe a bit too far.

Up The Long Ladder | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E18)

Season 2 · Episode 16

Friday, July 11, 2025 • Duration 47:08

Clones, Cowbells, and Klingon Tea....

It’s two for two on the absurdity scale as James and Andrew wade into Up The Long Ladder, a TNG episode that starts off as rural space comedy and swerves hard into clone-based bioethics. While fans might struggle to find their footing in this tonal rollercoaster, the Enterprise crew seem to be having the time of their lives—Picard’s laughing, Riker is enthusiastically… welcoming Ms. Odell, and Danilo Odell discovers the joys of Klingon liquor. But just when you think it’s all shenanigans and hay bales, the story pivots into a surprisingly grim exploration of identity and autonomy. Does it work? That’s debatable—but there are standout moments, including our personal favorite: the unexpectedly touching tea ceremony between Pulaski and Worf. Join us as we unpack this curious episode that manages to be charming, clunky, and occasionally contemplative—all at once.🖖 Like, comment, follow and subscribe for more TNG reviews!👑 Patreon – Support the show: www.patreon.com/Givemegenesis▶️ YouTube - Watch is here: www.youtube.com/@Givemegenesis 📘 Facebook – Follow us here: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560015058600📱Tik Tok - Follow us here: https://www.tiktok.com/@give.me.genesis?_t=ZN-8xH2Hu4dxzS&_r=1🎵 Spotify – Listen to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6C9v9aBx7rVxiwyE8UNONp#startrek #startrekTNG #startrekpodcast #SciFi

Samaritan Snare | Star Trek Review (TNG S2 E17)

Season 2 · Episode 17

Monday, June 23, 2025 • Duration 43:18

"Samaritan Snare" – Starfleet, Sandwiches, and the Not-So-Clever Cleverness of the Pakleds or the Enterprise crew for that matter!

Apologies for the terrible sound for this episode. James was not smart. The mic was broken.

In this week’s episode, James and Andrew boldly go…into one of The Next Generation's more baffling outings: “Samaritan Snare.” The Pakleds make their infamous debut as a seemingly simple-minded alien race who somehow manage to pull a fast one on the highly trained Starfleet crew—much to the dismay (and amusement) of our hosts.

Is this episode fun? Sure. Is it good? Absolutely not. James and Andrew break down how this bizarre mix of unintentional comedy, lazy plotting, and deeply questionable decision-making turns the Enterprise crew into spacefaring fools. And yet, it’s oddly entertaining.

The real highlight? A surprisingly heartfelt shuttle ride with Wesley Crusher and Captain Picard, complete with awkward small talk, medical confessions, and… sandwiches.

It’s a strange ride through the stars this week—join us as we try to understand how the Pakleds “look for things” and somehow find a place in Star Trek history.
