Star Trek TNG S2E01-03 – The Child, Where Silence Has Lease, Elementary, Dear Data “Not Very Effective” | First-Time Reaction – To Baldly Go Podcast (Ep. 041) Season 2 begins… and Riker grows the beard. This week, I continue my first-ever watch of Star Trek in release order, joined by my long-time Trekkie friends. We’re covering: The Child – Space curiosity, questionable execution, and character shifts Where Silence Has Lease – A void, a godlike entity, and questions about reality Elementary, Dear Data – Sherlock Holmes, self-aware holodecks, and AI vs. humanity We discuss: Whether The Child is truly that bad Primitive humanity in the face of cosmic beings Another version of Q? AI debates in the 1980s… that sound exactly like today Data, originality, and what it really means to understand Plus: Star Trek vs. Star Wars trivia, Abbie officially loving the crew, and why “effective” became the word of the day. A generally strong start to Season 2 — The Child notwithstanding.
