from Trek in the Valley · host Adam and Al

"I've always believed that having children on a starship is a very questionable policy. Serving on a starship means accepting certain risks, certain dangers. Did Jeremy Aster make that choice?" This week Adam and Al dig into an emotional and philosophical episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, with S3 EP 4, "The Bonding." In this episode, pretty much every single person feels responsible for some kind of death in some way. The various members of the crew navigate these feelings while dealing with a sort of powerful alien presence that, you guessed it, feels responsible for some sort of death. All that, plus Al having a successful what does Al remember, and some insightful recommendations, on episode #174 of Trek in the Valley.   Like the podcast and throw us a review!
