7:21 Firstborn – Worf gets a character episode! Worf may stop being such a terrible father! (Seriously, the only two ongoing examples of parenthood we every get are Worf and Lwaxana Troi, and they’re in a contest to see which is a better argument for decanting.) Buncha talk about warriors and honor and the usual…

Two that I posted in my Etsy store… …and five direct from my sketchbook:
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part VI
7:18 Eye of the Beholder – Troi gets a character episode! And TNG does their own sideways adaptation of “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Really only notable for two reasons: It’s another link in this season’s subtext of a Worf/Troi relationship — this time, it’s a non-real flowering of that relationship from Troi’s perspective…
The “true face” of racism.
[Post this on Facebook yesterday. Copied it here so I won’t lose it. It’s as close to profundity as I come.] Here’s what few people understand when looking at (or for) racism in America: Most of the “racist” content you find — the kind that peppers the threads on cesspools like 4chan, for instance —…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part V
7:15 Lower Decks – None of the main characters get a character episode! Instead, we get an intriguing look at four junior officers on the Enterprise bucking for a promotion to lieutenant and bridge crew, none of whom we’ll ever see again. It’s an interesting look at how things seem from the underside of the…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part IV
7:12 The Pegasus – My friend Chris contends that the Star Trek universe is actually a dystopia, as evidenced by all the insane admirals. This episode lends more weight to his thesis: Riker’s old captain, who lost an entire crew (except young Ensign Riker) to mutiny, is now an admiral, commandeering the Enterprise to find…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part III
7:9 Force of Nature – This season’s recipient of the Preachy McPreacherson’s Preachiest Episode Award. In the Hekaras Corridor, an area of space where dense tetrion fields cause navigational problems, two scientists from an inhabited planet claim that warp fields — and thus all starship travel — damages the fabric of local space and endangers…

One on sale in my Etsy shop… …and the rest directly from my sketchbook:
Cold, hard facts.
[Crossposted from Facebook so I can keep it at hand.] This was something that started in a comment thread to one my other Facebook posts. I’m giving it its own post because I think it’s important (and because it was a lot of work for just a comment and I don’t want it to get…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part II
7:6 Phantasms – The very, very memorable (and fun!) episode in which Data’s dream program, with bizarre imagery of destruction and cannibalism, starts to intrude on waking life. (Why does anyone in the 24th century know what a ringing phone sounds like? My own children only know it from old movies.) I think there are…
