Episode 118: Resting Grief Face (S5E19)

12th March 2017

When Captain Picard returns to Earth to give a commencement speech at Wesley (The BOY?!) Crusher’s academy graduation, no one stops to consider what happened LAST time he was in the Terran system. Meanwhile, Wesley’s entire squadron is under investigation after an accident kills a teammate. Is it possible to hear embarrassment? Should you always start a speech with a joke? How much loaf are you allowed to bring through customs? It’s the episode that’s as comfortable as possible, at the expense of looking good.

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!
