#256: Planet X (TNG)

In today’s episode, a busted gadget brings the X-Men back to the 24th century, though you probably weren’t around for the first episode. Nevertheless, here they are, arriving just in time to render aid to a planet that’s starting to go through its own mutant growing pains. Which X-Person’s fault is it that they’re stranded here? Will it ever not be weird for Data to smile? And how much bridge conversation is pointless small talk? All this and more in Planet X, the book that’s selling the cure, but no one’s buying.

#253: Deceptions (TNG YA #14)

In today’s episode, when Data’s quadmates celebrate his Omicron Theta-versary, the idea that lying can be used for good blue-screens his ethics programming. But he’ll have to learn the nuance quickly if he hopes to foil some scientists’ psychic invasion plans. Who does an android read for fun? Which terrible unconventional name spellings will survive into the future? And how did the YA line fare overall? All this and more in Deceptions, the book brought to you by the Acme Corporation!

#249: The Best and the Brightest (TNG)

In today’s episode, we’ll have a double order of Starfleet Academy, hold the artwork. Six cadets start out hyperventilating over a broken group project, but they soon go on to bigger, better, and much more dangerous things. How high is the bar for a Trill’s first host? How many swirlies did Harry Kim get as a cadet? And how many progressive points do Star Trek‘s first openly gay characters earn it? All this and more in The Best and the Brightest, the book that plays fast and loose with the Vulcan names.

#245: The Haunted Starship (TNG YA #13)

In today’s episode, when Geordi tags along to the asteroid belt with some upperclassmates, there’s a refreshing lack of locker-stuffing and wedgie-giving. But when he has a tough time understanding a spectral visitor’s point, it might mean getting sifted out by the Academy’s plebe filter. Is the specter a prank? Who would you name an asteroid after? And can Geordi’s VISOR get smudged? All this and more in The Haunted Starship, the book that overestimates the thrill of the word “outstanding”.

#244: To Storm Heaven (TNG #46)

In today’s episode, the Enterprise crew decides breaking the Prime Directive is way more fun than finding a stupid plant that will save millions of lives. But in the midst of their “benevolent” interference, they fail to notice that shepherd’s pie is on tonight’s menu. Are you obligated to keep a surprise pet you weren’t consulted about? Should the reader always know more than the characters? And what if your phone calendar could force you to do stuff? All this and more in To Storm Heaven, in which the power of Ashkaar compels you.
