Episodes That Never Happened.
We have all seen episodes (or entire seasons!) of television
shows that end with, "It was all just a dream!" It can sometimes
feel like such storytelling is a "cheat" or are a waste of time.
This week, Phillip, Darren, and Daniel pick out episodes of "The
Next Generation" that may not have "really" happened, as far as the
crew of the Enterprise-D is concerned. The trio asks whether these
episodes are still enjoyable or whether it would have been better
to have a storyline that "actually" occurred instead.
Earl Grey examines episodes featuring amnesia, such as "Conundrum"
and "Thine Own Self," as well as "It was all an illusion!" episodes
like "Future Imperfect," "Remember Me," and "Frame of Mind." They
also tackle "complicated" fan favorites such as "Inner Light,"
"Yesterday's Enterprise,""Tapestry," and "All Good Things..." They
look at whether episodes that are "outside" reality help or hurt a
story. Other episodes they look at include "Parallels,"
""Tapestry," and "Cause and Effect."
Join Earl Grey for this week's podcast about the "never happened"
episodes ... which hopefully will not be considered a waste of time
for listeners (though they may hit the reset button at the
end).
