Earl Grey 64: To Absent Friends

Death in TNG.

All good things must come to an end, and in The Next
Generation, that means the deaths of many favorite (and perhaps
not so favorite) characters. Mr. Data meets his demise in the
final feature film Star Trek: Nemesis, the first security
chief Tasha Yar dies a senseless death in the season one episode
"Skin of Evil," and memorable guest star K'Ehleyr is murdered by
Duras in "Reunion." These deaths affected
our TNG characters and fans, leading to debates about
whether these deaths served a purpose or whether they should have
been avoided. Phillip, Darren, and Daniel discuss the end of
these characters and others in this episode, asking how those
deaths were treated, what was the aftermath, and what death
teaches us about the dangers of exploring the final
frontier.

Hosts
Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren Moser
