The Bonding.   When Lieutenant Marla Aster is killed unexpectedly during an away mission under Lieutenant Worf's command, Worf takes young Jeremy Aster under his wing by participating in the Klingon ritual known as "R'uustai" ("The Bonding"). In this episode of Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling explore the philosophical themes of death and loss. Mike and Zachary discuss meaning and the existential absurdity of life and death, the sociological and cultural role of rituals, Jeremy Aster's escapism and the illusion of happiness, the finality of death, and the sense of powerlessness in the face of death. Finally, Mike and Zachary continue the turbolift debate between Captain Picard and Counselor Troi about the wisdom of allowing children to live aboard a starship.   Chapters Welcome to Episode 24 (00:01:07)  Synopsis of TNG "The Bonding" (00:06:00)  Initial Thoughts (00:06:46)  Death, Meaning, and the Absurd (00:12:20)  Emotions and Death (00:16:47)  Worf and Jeremy Aster (00:21:55)  The Role of Ritual (00:25:43)  Death, Pluralism, and Cultural Relativism (00:30:31)  Exploration and Meaning - The Challenger Explosion (00:41:21)  The Finality of Death (00:43:11)  The Role of Death in Life (00:45:25)  Escapism and the Illusion of Happiness (00:48:22)  Subjective Meaning vs. Objective Meaning (00:52:18)  Deep Space Nine - "It's Only a Paper Moon" (00:57:20)  Cross-Cultural Connections (01:03:45)  Children on the Enterprise - A City in Space (01:09:53)  Final Thoughts (01:18:41)  Hosts  Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling   Production  Dennis Castello (Editor and Producer) Norman C.

Lost Plotlines. There are times when an episode of The Next Generation causes a viewer to ask, "Hey, whatever happened to…?" TNG is sometimes criticized as being too episodic compared to more modern television shows thanks to characters, guest stars, and plotlines that would be introduced and then promptly disappear. In this episode of Earl Grey, Phillip, Daniel, and Darren explore these vanishing acts, from Dr. Pulaski telling La Forge that she could give him ocular implants in "Loud As a Whisper" to a conclusion for Commander Sela in "Redemption" and "Unification" to the destructive effects of warp travel in "Force of Nature." Join us as we imagine the storylines that could have been if followed up on in later TNG, DS9, or Voyager.   Hosts Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, and Darren Moser   Editor and Producer Darren Moser   Associate Producers Become one!

The Worf-Dax TNG Wedding Invitations. We all remember the big wedding in Star Trek: Nemesis that finally united two characters who we saw fall in love throughout the years on TNG. But we would have loved to see our beloved TNG crew attend Lt. Commander Worf's wedding years prior in the Deep Space Nine episode "You Are Cordially Invited." The real-life limitations of budget, an existing storyline, and actor availability kept our favorite Klingon's friends and family from attending the ceremony. Nevertheless, in this episode of Earl Grey, we discuss who should have been sent calligraphy-engraved PADDs inviting them to attack Worf with painsticks at his bachelor party. From Worf's adopted parents and brother, to his closest friends on the Enterprise-E, to other people he encountered while serving under Picard, Darren, Daniel, and Phillip arrange the seating at the wedding reception to include those who would have enjoyed being part of Worf and Jadzia Dax saying, "I do."   Hosts Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren Moser   Editor and Producer Darren Moser   Associate Producers Become one!
