Earl Grey 113: Sisterhood of the Traveling Skants

Gender Bender

The Next Generation was lead by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his
mostly male crew of officers. In this episode of Earl Grey, the
trio gain inspiration from the IDW "Star Trek" comic book series
called "Parallel Lives"that "flipped" the genders of the JJ-verse
cast. How would the Enterprise-D's adventures unfold with Captain
Jean Picard and her crew?

Daniel, Darren, and Phillip beam aboard Jarrah Hodge (co-host,
"Women at Warp") to analyze the main and secondary characters of
Next Gen under a "gender bender" thought experiment. Whether it's
Commander Riker - a first officer who echoes Captain Phillipa
Louvois ("The Measure of a Man") or her long-lost love Dean E.
Troi - a sensitive Betazoid who is not only in touch with his
feelings, but in touch with everyone else's. Earl Grey, along
with Jarrah, analyze what characteristics would have remained the
same if the sexes had been switched, what stereotypes may have
been challenged, and how Suzie Plakson's Q would have made for
quite a different "encounter." From uniform to name changes, and
everything in between, join Earl Grey in this "gender bender"
episode that imagines a parallel universe for the crew of
TNG.
