Star Trek: The Next Generation - Rascals
Sep 24, 2021, 03:30 PM
Things get childish as the Apocalypse Video Trek-Cast returns with “Rascals”, an episode with a story ripped from the plot of a Saturday morning cartoon.
Captain’s Log, Stardate 46235.7
After watching one of the best cerebral installments of The Next Generation in “Darmok”, the crew of the Apocalypse Video Trek-Cast return to the sillier side of Trek with Season Six’s “Rascals” - an episode that has more in common with a Saturday morning cartoon than with heady sci-fi. Nevertheless, the crew is looking forward to the zany antics of our newly de-aged heroes, as well as our first encounter with the D-Grade villains of Star Trek: the butt-headed Ferengi.
Topics covered in this assignment include the awkwardness of a forty year old man grappling with the idea of his wife now being a twelve year old; Guinan teaches us the simple joy of jumping on a bed; and finally, Captain Picard must make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save his ship and crew: throw a hissy fit.
