  • Love Hearing Two Dad’s Talk About Star Trek

    Honestly, I love Star Trek, especially the whole TNG/DS9/Voyager era, I’ve watched them all many times, but with TNG, my favourite of the three, I only really went back and watched the episode with Tasha Yar vs The Tar monster, these guys have made me go back and watch all the episodes for the first season before each podcast episode comes out, and I can honestly say that watching the episodes, and having a good chuckle at what I know Pyrion & Ben will complain about while watching has been amaz... more

The Neutral Zone
Q: What was your impression of the A-plot versus the B-plot in this episode?
The A-plot with the cryogenic passengers and the moral dilemmas around saving lives felt tense and interesting at first, but many found the payoff thin and the B-plot with the Romulan encounter underdeveloped, leaving a sense of an incomplete arc.
