You guys BROTHERS, amirite? This post is dedicated to my brother, Bernie, who was my main TNG co-watcher when we did most of our Star Trek consumption in the ’90s, and if I was at my folks’ house I would try very hard to find the picture of the two of us dressed as TNG Starfleet officers for Halloween circa 1993 because it is clearly relevant to our discussion here. (I will also dedicate this post to Alex, Anna’s brother, who I have never met, but feel like I have?)
This episode starts with Troi escorting a boy to have some words spoken to him.
Is he nervous because he’s in trouble or because he’s so close to Troi’s plunging neckline?
This is the one where Troi gets pregnant. How? Well, when a tiny beam of sperm-shaped light and a woman love each other very, very much:
"Dat ass" - this lightsperm
…the lightsperm travels into any nearby spaceship and impregnates a half-human, half-Betazoid woman…somehow. It’s never made THAT clear how this works. And you know why?
"Special" my ass
Because this is the new ship’s doctor!!! Uggggghhhhh.
I’m Feather Mullet and I’m here to say / I’m super stupid in a stupid way
Friend of the blog Deborah: TNG’s 2.20 episode The Emissary has so many jumpsuits that you should write about but also own and wear often. Also, the introduction of Alexander’s mother. And possibly Alexander’s conception.
Anna: I love Alexander’s mother. She fine.
Deborah: She’s a fierce bitch. I enjoy that aside from the forehead ridges, she could basically walk the runway of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Kind of a Chad Michaels.
These are the kinds of email exchanges I have.
So we open on this season two episode with some of the crew playing poker:
