Earl Grey 107: The Riker Mifflin Paper Company

Family.

The writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation created dramatic
backstories for the crew of the Federation's flagship. Many of
the TNG characters dealt early in their lives with the loss of
one or both parents, conflicts and grudges with parents and
siblings, and other unresolved issues that are addressed later in
specific episodes. Daniel, Darren, and Phillip look at the family
origins for Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his officers, examining
the "daddy" and "mommy" issues for each characters, and how their
familial background led them to become they people they
are.

Earl Grey also examines how the Enterprise-D crew came together
as a family of their own choosing. The trio looks at what role
each person played in this new "family structure," as well as the
behind-the-scenes "family" relationship of the Next Gen actors.
They discuss how The Next Generation actors are the closest of
all the other series' crew, and how that translates to their on
screen portrayals and what tone it sets for fans. So gather
around with your fellow TNG brothers and sisters, and join in
this family affair, as Earl Grey discusses the family aspect to
Next Gen.
