“Worf, how fast can you get a phaser lock?”

“Fast.”

This week Adam and Al are back for another fun time chat through of a Star Trek: TNG episode. On the docket for this week: The Arsenal of Freedom.

What if a planet of weapons salesfolks made a weapon so powerful it killed them all? Then what if you found that planet, and it tried to sell you the weapon/kill you? What then, smart guy? What then, indeed.

“They are warning the dead, sir. A Klingon warrior is about to arrive.”

This week, the dudes in the Valley cover Star Trek: TNG, “Heart of Glory.” This episode digs into Worf and Klingons and all of that good blood an honor stuff. Basically, some Klingons are mad about the Klingon / Federation Alliance and they get all Worm Tongue in Worf’s ear about it.

"Expect the unexpected."

This week the dudes in the Valley cover Star Trek: TNG, "Coming of Age." It is in large part a Wesley episode and yet it manages to be quite good. Wesley has to take a fancy test and a girl who is out of his league calls him cute (he isn't). Meanwhile, on the Enterprise, we get a clip show without clips where the crew is grilled under a Star Fleet Internal Investigation about their past missions. Adam and Al will help you make sense of it you wonderfully foolish human!

“It seems we are becoming detectives, Number One.”

Terraforming! The act of turning a vacant rock devoid of even any chance of intelligent life is always the cornerstone of a society advancing across the stars.

But what if you screw up? What if there is some kind of life you didn't look for? Life made of plastic or something, maybe? Anyway, you will have screwed up big time and you probably got some people killed. Now you need to get a different job. Nobody in the terraforming world will give some killer of plastic aliens a second chance!

Adam and Al cover all of these massive moral dilemmas when they discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Home Soil".

"We need some of your children."

This week the Enterprise crew runs afoul of an ancient civilization of artists and thinkers heretofore thought to be a myth. Oh yeah, and they need just a FEW of the children from the Enterprise to kick start the resurgence of their race because they don't understand genetics and such.

Adam and Al talk about it with much delight.

"The quest for youth, Number One. So futile."

This week, the dudes in the Valley dig into Star Trek TNG, "Too Short A Season". This episode of TNG has great guest stars, incredibly heavy age makeup, excellent HD Remastered primary color planets, and all kinds of other stuff that you need Adam and Al to help you navigate. You need this. We need this. We all need this.

"A blind man teaching an android how to paint? That's gotta be worth a couple pages in somebody's book."

This week the dudes in the Valley cover the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "11001001," in which we meet the Bynars who take over the ship but for good raisins!

The Enterprise crew should learn their lesson about letting mysterious aliens work with Starfleet folks to upgrade systems on the ship. It always gets weird.

WORF: I think I may sneeze.

GEORDI: A Klingon Sneeze?

WORF: Only kind I know.

This week, the dudes in the Valley discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Angel One." The crew of the Enterprise is tracking down survivors of a destroyed freighter. They run afoul of a matriarchal society. The survivors turn out to be Men's Rights Activists. Bad news all around, gang!
