In this week's episode, James and Andrew take on Star Trek: The Next Generation's "When the Bough Breaks," and... well, let's just say the conversation quickly drifts to other topics. This Season 1 episode, cantered around the kidnapping of the Enterprise's children by a dying society, fails to captivate our hosts, leading to a lively debate on whether episodes featuring kids are inherently weak. While James argues that child-centric episodes often derail the narrative, Andrew steps in to challenge this assumption with a few exceptions. Along the way, they find themselves filling the runtime with tangents and other Trek talk to keep things interesting. Tune in for a mix of light-hearted banter, Trek trivia, and a few moments where James and Andrew wonder how this episode even made it into Season 1. Join the discussion as they ponder: Can TNG survive the dreaded "kids episode" curse?
