Trek TV Episode 184 - Star Trek: The Next Generation S04E15 - "First Contact"

Trek TV - The most ambitious Star Trek podcast on the internet!

#184 In this episode of Trek TV we discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation S04E15 - "First Contact". Hosted by Tracy and Vaughn. Guest starring Derek and Jared. Listen, we all know why you're here on this one, so let's cut right to the chase: yes, this IS the episode where a guy tries to absolutely murder Riker in a hospital with a massive length of inexplicable surgical copper pipe, and don't worry, we definitely cover it with all the care and attention it deserves. Plus, we FINALLY point out the mysterious Ten Forward regular who's always wearing the orange shirt and brown slacks (ps. it turns out he's not the waiter from Lower Decks). But it's not all fun and games, as our consideration of arguably the BEST SCENE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES leads to some shockingly serious considerations of the questions it raises about the nature of consent under duress and double standards... don't worry though, because we still fit in a LOT of dick jokes. Like, probably too many. Really, that and the rest of it likely cancels all that serious stuff out, so even if this is your first contact with the podcast, we think you can trust that you'll enjoy yourself as we welcome you into the exciting and startling universe of Trek TV! Just make sure you protect your junk, and if you don't like it you REALLY don't have to try and martyr yourself in protest; we don't need another lawsuit.
