Season 2 of Old v. Gold moves, with Spockly logic, to Season 2 of Star Trek: The Next Generation. First up: “Q Who,” which, besides serving up big scoops (a word Worf should never say) of the title character, also introduces us to those lovable scamps, the Borg. Our discussion covers the notion of episode structure vs. series structure and the difficulties of predicting technology in science fiction. And this time, Troi is one of the few characters we don’t mock.And if you’re down with Gen to the Next, make sure to check out our previous entries on Season 1 eps “The Naked Now” and “Conspiracy.”Q’s like, you bitches ain’t prepared.Podcasters: Robert, Tim, Danny, Jack, Sam00:00 Intro and Memories14:47 Rapid Recap19:26 Second First Impressions24:38 Story Structure, Part 132:55 About the Borg36:08 The Crew and Q41:10 Story Structure, Part 244:52 The Borg Social Network48:42 The VoteNext Week’s AssignmentJoin Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn as James Cameron leads them into The Abyss.Comments?
