279: Finding Loopholes

Favorite Conflict Resolution Moments in
TNG.
 
Conflicts and how those conflicts are resolved are an essential
part of storytelling. Gene Roddenberry famously said that in The
Next Generation, there should be no conflict among the characters
that we follow. The writers often expressed that this was a
challenge in creating stories for the show. However, we do see
plenty of conflicts with outside forces and even some between the
characters on the Enterprise-D and the Enterprise-E. How those
conflicts are resolved within the episodes and movies of The Next
Generation are an important aspect of the show's enduring
appeal.

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson and Justin Oser
are joined by Shoaib Mirza, Associate Producer of The Edge, to
list their three favorite conflict resolution moments from The
Next Generation. Each participant talks about why the moments
discussed are meaningful to them and important to understanding
the characters on The Next Generation.
