Trekabout Episode 254: Dreadnought/Death Wish

Trekabout Episode 128: Tapestry/Birthright, Part I
Star Trek: The Next Generation gives us our 34th Q episode this season, “Tapestry”, and Q is effectively and non-annoyingly used. Later, in “Birthright, Part I”, the show decides to make up for that by making Worf annoying. Also!

And “Pen Pals” is pretty good, what with all the interpersonal angst and Prime Directive drama. It’s not as good as “Q Who”, but that’s a tall order, so we’ll let it slide. Also! Richard thinks the Borg …
