The Measure of a Man

from Beam Me Up: A Star Trek Podcast · host Brent Allen

The Measure of a Man is perhaps THE seminal episode of season 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation.  It's the one where Data goes on trial to determine his status as a living being.  It's an episode that has repercussions even to today.  But what is this episode really driving at?  Is it really about Data, or something...or someone...else?  We discuss this and more in this week's episode. If you're watching with us, the next episode will be Q Who?   Yeah, that one!   If you want to contact the show: email: [email protected] Twitter: @beammeuppod Voicemail - 702-518-TREK (8735)   Matt doesn't know anything about Star Trek.  Brent has been a Trekkie for over 20 years, having watched every episode and movie multiple times. Join Matt as he explores for the first time why is Trek the Cultural Phenomenon that it is today.  Relive all those early moment when you first watched Trek.  But since there are over 760+ hours of Star Trek, Brent's task will be to find the best 150 or so that best represent what Star Trek is, the story of Star Trek, and paint Gene Roddenberry's vision of the Future. Support the show
