The Best of Both Worlds (Star Trek: TNG)

Randy and guest host ⁠Maria Giddings⁠ are joined by Doug Lief, host of the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast, to discuss one of the biggest television events of all time: Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter “The Best of Both Worlds.” Kris is off on assignment for this episode, but worry not! He beams up to wish us luck and he will be back in the host chair next week!  After exploring Doug’s history with the series and his personal connection to Jean-Luc Picard’s leadership style, the trio digs deep into the themes of the episode. They also discuss how this groundbreaking cliffhanger & its stunning conclusion fully established the iconic Borg in Star Trek lore and perhaps helped the entire series level up moving forward.  Be sure to check out Doug’s absolutely phenomenal podcast, Nostalgium Arcanum, wherever you get your podcasts!
