Picard and Crusher find themselves on different wavelengths. Join your mentally-synchronized hosts and special guest Jessi from the Crusher Convo podcast as they discuss brilliantly-crafted storytelling, conducting diplomacy with a planet full of jerkwads, and navigating the tricky path toward love with the person whose partner (who, incidentally, was your best friend) died on an away mission you sent them on. Be sure to stay till the end for a special treat!

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Check out Patrick's recent guest appearance on the Crusher Convo podcast to discuss "Cause and Effect" on YouTube (https://youtu.be/W8Xh6yd7DN0?si=Kbpqi3tIA4DJYXHs) or wherever podcasts are cast!

Next week: We'll work our way to the early days of the Star Trek franchise with out discussion of "The Enemy Within" from Star Trek: The Original Series - digitally selected by Dan's patent-pending podcast topic algorithm!

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
