231: Not Father of the Year Material

Fathers on TNG.
 
The characters on The Next Generation, whether regular characters
or guest stars are shaped by the important people in their lives,
including their parents. On the show, we see a number of
different fathers. Their interactions with their children and the
crew help to reveal important aspects of their lives that we
might not otherwise see and of parenting in the 24th
century.



In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Richard Marquez, Amy Nelson,
and Justin Oser take the opportunity as Father's Day approaches
in the United States to discuss the important fathers on The Next
Generation and the impact that they have on their children and
the show. The characters discussed are Kyle Riker, Data, Noonian
Soong, Worf, Sergey Rozhenko, Ian Troi, Edward La Forge, Jack
Crusher, and Gul Madred.
