Earl Grey 55: The Badmiral and the Fountain of Youth

Insurrection.


Star Trek: Insurrection was released on December 11, 1998,
and reactions from fans of The Next Generation have
been divided ever since. The third movie in
the TNG franchise, following the popular Star
Trek: First Contact, has been described as feeling like an
authentic episode from the television series, while other fans
view it as one of the least successful films in all of the Star
Trek film franchise.

In this episode of Earl Grey, Phillip, Darren, and
Daniel tackle the new technologies introduced in the film, the
morality-play plot, and what their favorite crew should have
been up to during the Dominion War. We also discuss whether the
Troi/Riker relationship should have been advanced, if it made
sense to have Worf in this outing, and why the Ba'ku seem to
look exactly like humans. Feel the clock go backward, break out
the mambo music, and come aboard the captain's yacht for
the Earl Grey movie review of Star Trek:
Insurrection.
