130: Surprise Party Universe

Episodes That Never Happened.


We have all seen episodes (or entire seasons!) of television
shows that end with, "It was all just a dream!" It can sometimes
feel like such storytelling is a "cheat" or are a waste of time.
This week, Phillip, Darren, and Daniel pick out episodes of "The
Next Generation" that may not have "really" happened, as far as
the crew of the Enterprise-D is concerned. The trio asks whether
these episodes are still enjoyable or whether it would have been
better to have a storyline that "actually" occurred
instead.

Earl Grey examines episodes featuring amnesia, such as
"Conundrum" and "Thine Own Self," as well as "It was all an
illusion!" episodes like "Future Imperfect," "Remember Me," and
"Frame of Mind." They also tackle "complicated" fan favorites
such as "Inner Light," "Yesterday's Enterprise,""Tapestry," and
"All Good Things..." They look at whether episodes that are
"outside" reality help or hurt a story. Other episodes they look
at include "Parallels," ""Tapestry," and "Cause and
Effect." 

Join Earl Grey for this week's podcast about the "never happened"
episodes ... which hopefully will not be considered a waste of
time for listeners (though they may hit the reset button at the
end).
