Episode Info

In a fascinating episode, we find out that K’Ehleyr has had a child… probably from when she met Worf a few years ago. But there’s much bigger problems to tackle. The Klingon Emperor, K’mpec masterfully forces Picard to mediate the challengers to the throne as K’mpec dies. It is between the relatively unknown Gowron, and the despicable Duras. We get to see two meaningful deaths, and we even see an honor dual between Klingons. Who wins? Find out by listening!

This episode’s photo shows laser Barkley addressing Captain Picard.  Notice the laser is quite bright despite not having a lot of smoke in the studio. This was accomplished by filming at 8 and sometimes 6 frames per second instead of the 1980’s standard of 24.

The picture is right before the end credits. It shows Captain Picard paying his respect to Captain Dathon in the way the Children of Tama did, thus honoring their culture even while he was alone, and also allowing him to grieve for Dathon’s beautiful sacrifice for peaceful communications between races.

Join the crew of the USS Relativity as we discuss Star Trek TNG: Night Terrors. Captain Chris, Mike, and Bill  try to  earn some quatloos playing trivia hosted by Question Master Keri.

This episode’s picture shows the amazing Troi stunt double, including butt pads and a huge crack. It’s horrendously embarrassing to Marina Sirtis, TNG, and Star Trek as a whole. This hurt the episode.

This episode’s picture is The Laughing Picard Mystery. We think that older Picard may have always inhabited younger Picard’s body, and the laughing comes from him realizing that he’s made the right choice. It’s a little complicated, but I think we explain it well in the podcast.

This week’s cast shout outs:

• Bill: Bill’s band Nipsey is the show band on a local New York City television show, The Big Quiz Thing. The show, which premiered 2013-07-14 on the NYC Life channel, hasn’t yet shown up on VOD, but you can see their clip, “What is a Nipsey?” where they take a quick look at the band. Bill is the long-haired dude that plays guitar. Find it here.
• Chris: The Materials Research Society, bringing us closer to the future. It shows us that the future isn’t necessarily the old-fashioned cyberpunk mechanical arms, but tightly integrated organic electronics.
• Keri: The guilty-pleasure show Whodunnit? 
  
• Mike: XKCD – Which made us think of XKCD 771.

Show notes:

• Virtuix Omni for video games
• Oculus Rift for video games

Next week: We review Mike’s pick of DS9 Children of Time. Same Trek time, same Trek feed!
