Join James and Andrew as they dive into "The Big Goodbye," a standout episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season. In this episode, we experience the first of many iconic holodeck adventures, setting the stage for the future of the series. But it’s not all fun and games—when the holodeck malfunctions, Picard and his crew find themselves trapped in a 1940s detective noir that turns deadly. The guys discuss the intriguing plot and how Wesley, once again, steps in to save the day, but with the added pressure of not eliminating his shipmates in the process. They also tackle the episode's inconsistencies with how holodeck technology is portrayed in later seasons. And remember, don't let your equipment get scanned—you never know what might break! Tune in for a nostalgic trip back to one of Season One’s better episodes, complete with all the excitement, quirks, and holodeck shenanigans that make TNG a timeless classic.
