TNG S2 EP 21: "Peak Performance"

TNG S2 EP 21: "Peak Performance"

"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life." "Do you want to play a game?"...Is what Starfleet asked Picard. To which he said, "I would rather not, but I guess we need to be ready to fight the Borg so, sure." In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Peak Performance, Riker and a ragtag crew in a derelict ship, face off against the might of Picard and the Enterprise. Will Word and Riker's guile, and Acting Ensign Crusher's open cheating, be enough to win? Or will it all go wonky when a Ferengi captain thinks he smells a profit? Oh, also, they play this weird game with the stuffy strategist observer where the competitors have these weird finger-milking gloves on while they play Connect 12 or whatever. Pretty gross!

TNG S2 EP 20: "The Emissary"

"Sometimes I feel there's a monster inside of me, fighting to get out." Everyone, quick! Check it out. Adam and Al got together on the computer once again to record an episode of Trek in the Valley for YOU! This week the dudes in the Valley are covering a classic TNG episode which gets some of their highest ratings yet. In, "The Emissary" Worf is faced with a lady from his past and then he presumably loses his virginity. Also, some thawing Klingons pose a threat to Starfleet outposts. Don't worry, it all comes together, Star Trek style, and the dudes talk about it. Also, Al is stoked about the World Cup and Adam had to briefly be a wet blanket about it because, fun fact about Adam, he kind of sucks. Like the podcast and throw us a review!

TNG S2 EP 19: "Manhunt"

"What a handsome race." This week the great Lwaxana Troi is back to shake things up on the Enterprise. She is going through Betazoid Super Menopause and she has her sights set on Picard. Picard attempts to hide from Lwaxana in a Dixon Hill story on the Holodeck that absolutely does not pay off in terms of action. Instead, Lwaxana becomes quite taken with a holo-bartender that she thinks is a genuine human man! Oh yeah, also, she is very racist and she solves an assassination plot out of the blue at the end. Also, also Adam tells the story about how he did road rage and thusly got road raged at!  **The audio is weird on this one. We had a bad input that caused some cracking. Still a good listen, because we have done this many times and are quite skilled, but you might get a crackle here and there and it isn't your ear budders.** Like the podcast and throw us a review!

TNG S2 EP 18: "Up The Long Ladder"

"Now that's what I call a wee drop of the creature." We are Looney Toons 2: Back in Action. Meaning, Al is off of his adventure with trying to decide if fish is bad or not (it was), not, we are talking about the Joe Dante Looney Toons sequel. What an episode with which to return to coming back with...returning to! Picard is right in his element solving a space mystery. Hundreds of years ago a group of space colonists was split in two and half of them became old timey Irish people and the other half became science clone people! The solution to how the clones will reproduce without cloning may NOT surprise you.  Like the podcast and throw us a review!

TOS S1 EP 17: "The Squire of Gothos" (Re-Release)

"I'll fix you for that! You cheated! You haven't played the game right! I'll show you!" Happy Sunday, gang. Hope you're all having a good long weekend if you can get it. We've got a bit of a curve ball this week. Al is out sick with some sort of disease. He is waiting on an intrepid starship crew to bring him his medicine but they are delayed by an all powerful what have you and such. Adam went down to a storage unit in the bowels of the ship to grab a classic from Season One of Trek in the Valley (and of Star Trek: The Original Series), "The Squire of Gothos." Yes, you could just go back and listen to this if you are new to the show, but this way, the levels are boosted with the new outro, it shows up in the top of your feed and Adam gets to check the "released an episode of TitV" box on his list so he doesn't lose his mind like when the Wendy's drive thru was closed. Anywho, this is what the show sounded like when we started out. If you enjoy the primitive vibes, go back and listen to those eps on the feed.  We will be back with a brand new episode next week with Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Up The Long Ladder."
