Episode notes
The Enterprise crew is excited to meet the mythical Aldeans until they propose a classic “children for information” exchange, but when Commander Riker balks at the deal they take some kids anyway. This is a real problem for Captain Picard, because Wesley (the boy?) is among their victims. Why’d the Aldeans take only the white kids? How long can Picard go without Wesley? Didn’t we already fix the ozone layer? It’s the episode where there’s no calculus allowed!

About the show
The Greatest Generation is a comedy podcast about Star Trek, beloved by everyone from people who’ve never seen an episode to hardcore nerds who are fluent in Klingon.
Once a week Benjamin Ahr Harrison and Adam Pranica watch an episode of Star Trek and tell you what’s great, what’s bad, and what’s hilarious about the show they grew up loving, and still do. It’s a little bit nerdy, a lot filthy, and exposes some of Adam and Ben’s most embarrassing stories from their dorky childhoods.
Check out Greatest Trek, our spinoff about all the new Star Trek series!
