The Greatest Generation
An irreverent roast and celebration of everything Star Trek, The Greatest Generation is the most listened to and highest rated Star Trek podcast in the world. For ten years Ben and Adam have laughed their way through TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT watch-throughs, and now we’re rewatching them all over again. What's different ten years in? How have we changed? How have the costumes stayed so tight in the crotch area? Listen every Monday as we laugh our way through the best television show ever.

Escher Caravaggio (TNG S2E2)
Episode 649
Show notes
When the Entrepreneur finds a space hole that no ship has ever not seen before, they decide to move closer and end up getting sucked right in. But after things inside aren’t quite what they seem, another god-like alien pushes the Captain to the point of auto-destruct. How is this episode like The Frighteners? Why was A.I. invented? What does Picard enjoy even more than lawyering? It’s the episode that turns the bridge into Fury Road.

Show notes
When a glowing purple light comes aboard and knocks up Counselor Troi, she decides to keep the baby as the Entrepreneur handles a delicate milk run. But after Ian starts developing way too quickly, his experience of humanity has to be cut short once his presence endangers the crew. Where does Ben get seated on Delta flights? What happened to all the chest hair? How might a vending machine prototype get funded? It’s the episode that‘s as fun as it is unreliable.

Plant the Scoop (TNG S1E26)
Episode 647
Show notes
When Data finds some popsicles and brings them aboard the ship, Dr. Crusher thaws them out just as Picard orders the Entrepreneur into the Neutral Zone. But after the crew starts suspecting Romulans of destroying Federation outposts, Picard keeps his cool and forges a very tenuous alliance. What helps season one look a little better? Which law firm still exists in the 24th century? How is the r-word like a pat on the butt? It’s the episode with a convenience caveat.

The Protein of the Future (TNG S1E25)
Episode 646
Show notes
When a Code47 surfaces a vague threat of conspiracy, Captain Picard orders the Entrepreneur straight to Starfleet Command. But after Admiral Quinn comes aboard and starts a high kicking contest with Riker, Dr. Crusher sets a trap to phaser the bugs out of everyone. Who should be more enthusiastic about taking off his shirt? How do you tell oral nubbins from anal nubbins? Which role on the ship is heavily NDA’d? It’s the episode that’s still chasing that vindication dragon.

Time Nut (TNG S1E24)
Episode 645
Show notes
When the Entrepreneur experiences a time loop on their way to some well-deserved shore leave, Captain Picard answers a distress call and finds the one who got away living on a chicken nugget in space. But after her husband’s time experiments have led him to the brink of death, Data gets sent into their lab to close the gateway so that the Manheims can return to their research. Who is the only person on the ship that Picard can have a fair fight with? Which moments bring Tasha to mind? What modifications does Dr. Crusher want to make to her uniform? It’s the episode that suggests one more Playmates action figure.

Show notes
When Counselor Troi’s shuttle crashes on Vagra II, the Entrepreneur sends a rescue team down to find a highly-flammable entity made of Metamucil and printer ink. But after several failed hostage negotiations and some serious therapy, Armus’ temper makes Picard want to nuke the site from orbit. Which host is a “do not disturb” and why? Who else has the right skills to be security chief? How is Armus like God? It’s the episode with a dank and vile pivot for the elevator vending machine.

When the Entrepreneur’s mission is to study an exploding star, a distress signal from a nearby freighter leads to an emergency beam out. But after learning that the Brekkians are dealing drugs to the Ornarans, Dr. Crusher’s Hippocratic Oath comes up against Starfleet’s Prime Directive. How are electrocutions on the bridge like Clear and Present Danger? What are the names of the other two Ornaran ships? Why does no one want to play poker with Picard until the finale? It’s the episode that wants to elevate the elevator experience.

Factory Seconds Preview: Psychosomatic Bone Bonus
Show notes
When Bill and Rob tag along for a trip to The Factory, Adam and Ben drive them deep into the outskirts of Las Vegas. But when Cheesecake Factory puts the “rough” in “roughage” there's only one elusive dessert that can possibly save the day. What rising tide lifts all waffles? Can you ever say “no” to whipped cream? Which condiments are the most crucial? It’s the episode that eats cob.

Episode 642
Show notes
When a weapons salesman’s demonstration threatens the Entrepreneur and crew, it creates a (w)hole lot of trouble both above and below the ship. But after Geordi’s leadership is put into question by an ambitious engineer, his attention isn’t the only thing that becomes separated. Why is Ben on the casualty list for this week’s pod? What other products are made on the nitrile glove production line? When does the type of bit really matter? It’s the episode that didn’t get clean dirt.

But after Worf learns more about what these warriors are up to, an honorable death is the only way to save Captain Korris from Klingon justice. How is this away team like a Greatest Gen live show? What should The Rio be taking advantage of for STLV? Which sign will you not find on the door of sicksbay? It’s the episode that had no spills in the studio.

But after Wesley ends up in second place at the Starfleet Entrance Exam, Picard sets his old friend’s mind at ease by turning down his offer for a promotion. Who is the Mike Tyson of the Federation? How did Admiral Quinn get so paranoid? What does the acting ensign dress uniform look like? It’s the episode that could have used a first alternate.

Episode 639
Show notes
When a terrible workplace accident kills a guy on a terraforming station, it’s easy to blame the coworker that looks like Joe Exotic. But after the investigation reveals the true culprit, their defense is a little offensive. Is there such thing as a friendly-looking laser? What’s the worst insult you can call a human being? Can a hummer be a sign of life? It’s the episode that needs to decide what it wants you to drink, and what it does not

When a group of children are taken from Enterprise, the crew is obligated to get them back for some reason. But when the kidnappers give them an offer they can’t refuse, it will take more than a medical intervention to reverse the damage. Is there anything greater than a quad box apology? When is it too late to start your social programming campaign? What happens if you’re not one of Enterprise’s best children? It’s the episode that gets right in your nook!

When a dusty old Admiral is rushed to Mordan IV to negotiate a hostage release, it’s revealed he was into trading arms for hostages before it went mainstream. But when he reveals he has access to truly spectacular drugs, it’s a race against the clock to Benjamin Button up the plot. Is it possible to look older than Admiral McCoy? Who do you go to if mom and dad say no? How can Adam and Ben get out of Star Trek podcasting? It’s the episode that takes the hero dose.

But after Picard and Riker get distracted on the holodeck, their willingness to die becomes as important as their willingness to help. When is being bald like driving a Jeep? What is Worf willing to do to win? How is setting auto-destruct like making popcorn? It’s the episode that made the ship a main character.

But after some sexual diplomacy and an offer to extract the survivors, their unwillingness to leave almost costs them their lives. When is looking at your phone an awful surprise? Where are all of Ben’s childhood friends? What makes this show so great? It’s the episode that wonders what Trent is for?

When the Entrepreneur pulls over for a pit stop at Data’s home planet, the colonist are gone and everything is dead. But after opening a gassy chamber of robot parts and putting them back together, Data learns more about his past and one of the great Star Trek villains is born. Who just came from driving a swan on Echo Park Lake? Was Argyle shuffled off the show for a completely different reason? What would most people not do in the late 80s? It’s the episode that has learned to expect dong.

But after he becomes trapped there when (real) bullets start flying, he discovers that his distractions have real-world consequences. What’s the most efficient way to read quickly? There’s nothing wrong with human-face, right? Who should be first: good cop or bad cop? It’s the episode that leaves the holodeck through the back door!

But when a ship carrying a deadly disease arrives in system, they learn it’s also carrying a very sexy surprise for Troi’s fiancee. When did Star Trek TNG lose the will to holo? Who’s acting like Paul Rudd’s character from Wet Hot American Summer (complimentary)? What does it mean when you’re given the pink garment? It’s the episode where barely anybody is getting along.
