S2 EP 22: "Shades of Gray"

from Trek in the Valley · host Adam and Al

"How do we know this bug doesn't like androids more than it likes humans?" This week we get our first Star Trek: TNG clip show with the Season Finale of S2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Shades of Gray." This episode tricks you into thinking it is going to be about Riker almost dying from alien infection, but then when the B-Story is supposed to kick in, it turns into a clips show. We touch on the "they were out of money" of it all, mention the writer's strike, but not in depth because we don't do that! Man, Frakes sometimes gets tied to bad Star Trek Season Finales... Like the podcast and throw us a review!
