OFF THE SCALE! The Enterprise is thrown to the edge of the universe in one of the biggest swings Star Trek has ever taken. Joining Bryan to discuss this important early episode of TNG where Captain Picard talks to his dead mother and when Wesley Crusher meets the Traveler, are Mark Farinas & Ryan T. Riddle from the Ship Full of Jerks Podcast [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ship-full-of-jerks/id1672781041]. They're here not only to judge the quality of this season 1 episode but also to extol the virtues of TNG-Season 1 overall. Better than you remember or simply too good to be forgotten?

The grades begin at (26:34). 

TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before" (s1e6) with Ryan T. Riddle & Mark Farinas from Ship Full of Jerks Podcast

There are 930 episodes of Star Trek. Some of them we love because they are a perfect combination of Star Trek ideas and human drama, some of them we like because they're just good examples of Star Trek, and the rest are ones we'll watch because why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad it's still good. 

Join Bryan and Kristen (and the occasional special guest) as they take the schoolyard game of F***, Marry, Kill and apply it to episodes from all 11 series asking specific questions like, "What part of the story will they teach at the Academy?" "What are the Best Trek Tropes in the episode?" "Worst Trek Tropes?" and many more in order to decide if an episode is one they'll TREK out again, MARRY because they'll cherish it for life, or KILL because it missed the mark.
