Description
In this episode of The Next Generation Revisited, James and Andrew dive into "Coming of Age," a Wesley-centric episode that, surprisingly, isn’t all bad! Wesley faces off in a competitive Starfleet entrance exam, but the real star of the show is the fascinating B-plot where Remmick conducts a mysterious investigation into Captain Picard’s past—setting the stage for the epic Conspiracy episode later in Season 1. The hosts explore the quirky design of Mordock’s "mouth-organ" device and wonder how he manages everyday life with it. They also touch on Starfleet’s questionable stance on cheating during tests, Wesley's awkward argument, and a few moments of hilariously bad set design. Buckle up for a mix of thoughtful critique and playful banter as they unpack one of Season 1's more memorable episodes!
