Description
In this episode, James and Andrew dive into the shocking Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Skin of Evil." For the first time in Star Trek history, a main character is killed off—Tasha Yar's sudden and brutal death stuns the crew and fans alike. While James sympathizes with Yar, Andrew surprisingly feels more pity for Armus, the malevolent creature responsible for her demise. The duo debates whether Yar's death should have been more meaningful. Riker’s disturbing encounter with Armus, where he's pulled into the black oil slick, sparks discussion on his intense reaction and the unsettling imagery. Finally, they theorise about the mysterious beings who abandoned Armus, shedding their "skin of evil," and explore what kind of powerful entities could create such a creature. A thought-provoking discussion for fans of TNG who love to dissect the deeper themes of this iconic series!
