Heather hasn’t seen Star Trek Generations

Set your podcast players to “stun”, as we dive into the first cinematic outing of Captain Picard and the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew in 1994’s Star Trek Generations. We discuss Heather’s journey from being clueless about Star Trek to fandom, how the movie got made in a rush, nepo babies in Starfleet, and French captains with Victorian British Christmas fantasies. If you’re a long time Trekker or you don’t know a Tribble from a Tellarite, this episode has something for everyone — and is quite possibly our funniest episode yet. Engage!
