Episode notes
When Commander Riker gets injured on a first contact mission, his alien doctors examine all kinds of appendages they aren’t familiar with. But while making sure he recovers as fully as possible, the leaders of the planet must decide if they want to enter an exciting, spacefaring future, or stay in the cold, microwave-less past. What is an “Implied Riker”? How many writing credits does it take to break a script? Does Riker “first contact and tell”? It’s the first episode back from our tour and we have SO much to catch up on!
Music by Dark Materia & Adam Ragusea.

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!
