Star Trek TNG S3E19-21 Captain’s Holiday, Tin Man, Hollow Pursuits - “Science Words” | First Time Reaction – To Baldly Go Podcast (Ep. 055)

Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3, Episodes 19-21: Captain’s Holiday | Tin Man | Hollow Pursuits This week on To Baldly Go, we continue our first-time watchthrough of Star Trek: The Next Generation with Captain’s Holiday, Tin Man, and Hollow Pursuits. This week we get: - An archaeological adventure looking for artifacts from the future - All the elements to make a great episode, but just missing the mark - Impostor syndrome In Captain’s Holiday, Picard takes some much-needed time away from the Enterprise, only to end up pulled into a time-travel archaeological adventure. We discuss the difficulties of time-travel stories, whether Picard is too trusting, unexpected chemistry between actors and characters, Star Trek shovels, Parks and Rec, and the real-life ramifications from this episode. In Tin Man, we talk about an episode that seems to have so many of the right ingredients, but never quite comes together the way it should. We get into The Story of the Tin Woodsman, fairy tales, the lack of tension, the music, strange sound-effect techniques, the number 47, and Starship Farragut. Finally, in Hollow Pursuits, we meet Barclay and discuss impostor syndrome, holodeck fantasies, unclear messaging, the fact that the holodeck apparently doesn’t lock, and whether the ending was inevitable. Join us as we discuss Captain’s Holiday, Tin Man, and Hollow Pursuits. Find us on X @BaldlyGoPodcast, on Facebook at To Baldly Go Podcast, and at tobaldlygopodcast.com.
