Give Me Genesis - TNG S1 E07: Justice
Listen now
Description
Join James and Andrew in this lively and hilarious episode of "Give Me Genesis" as they dive into the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Justice." In this review, our hosts can't help but question the writers' decision to prioritize a hedonistic alien society over a coherent sci-fi plot. The Enterprise crew finds themselves on Rubicun III, a paradise planet inhabited by the Edo, a race more interested in boldly going to bed with one another than exploring the galaxy. When Wesley Crusher accidentally breaks one of their laws, the crew must navigate the Edo's peculiar justice system, where the punishment for any crime is death. James and Andrew dissect the episode's lack of narrative depth, the implausible legal system, and the eyebrow-raising cultural practices of the Edo. Tune in for a fun-filled critique, plenty of laughs, and the usual witty banter as James and Andrew make sense (or try to) of an episode that leaves us all wondering what the writers were thinking.
