Controversial Storylines.
Gene Roddenberry believed that Star Trek was a way to
debate so-called "controversial" issues through the disguise of a
futuristic setting. The Next Generation featured
episodes that tackled the modern struggles of changing gender
roles ("The Outcast," "Angel One," & "The Perfect Mate"),
drug use ("Symbiosis"), terrorism ("The High Ground"), and the
lifelong effects of war ("The Hunted"). The quality of these
storylines ranged from thought-provoking to disappointing.
Phillip, Darren, and Daniel discuss how the writers
of TNG did not always provide the answers to these
issues, but how they provided a platform to examine our society.
We invite you to be a part of the controversy and listen to this
latest Earl Grey.
