Fall 2019 Anime Worth Watching

Wondering what anime to watch now that the jam packed summer season is over? Never fear, we’re into the fall, and there’s even more great shows this season! It’s my last rec list of the year so we’re in the home stretch now!

Full disclaimer, this season is packed with great shows, but a lot of these are not available on Crunchyroll...so here’s a link to a list of where you can watch everything legally on streaming! And I’ll but an (*) by everything that IS on Crunchyroll.

And here’s my recs for every season this year:

Summer 2019

Spring 2019

Winter 2019

And here’s my master list for 2020

New shows!

Chuubyou Gekihatsu-Boy (Outburst Dreamer Boy): A comedy in which a normal girl just wants a peaceful high school life, but finds herself surrounded by a group of ridiculous, overly dramatic boys who are all part of the “hero club” who try to make her school life better by helping her make friends. This is all well and good, but all the boys are delusional in one way or another. For example, one thinks he and his friends are basically Power Rangers, and another is obsessed with fabricating dramatic fake anime backstories for himself. It’s Ouran High School Host Club without the hosting. It’s absolutely hilarious, but it’s really flying under the radar because it’s not on Crunchyroll.

Kabukichou Sherlock: A surprisingly comedic modern version of Sherlock Holmes that takes place in the seedier portions of Japan in which a bunch of the city’s quirky detectives try and hunt down Jack the Ripper. I was not expecting this to be nearly as good as it was. The characters are great, Mrs. Hudson is a transvestite cabaret singer, the soundtrack is bomb, it’s an original anime by Production I.G. AND SHERLOCK EXPLAINS HIS DETECTIVE PROCESS THROUGH MYSTERY SOLVING RAKUGO!!!!

Babylon: NO, NOT FATE BABYLONIA! This is a mystery/thriller involving a case of illegal clinical research for a pharmaceutical company that leads down a rabbit hole full of murder, suicide, and political intrigue. IT’S LIKE DEATH NOTE AND MONSTER HAD A BABY AND IT’S FREAKING AMAZING! I haven’t been this interested in a mystery/crime anime since Erased. The first episode will definitely leave you...hanging…. The only problem is it’s not on Crunchyroll, so I have a feeling most people won’t know about it because it’s on freaking Amazon Prime!

Hoshiai no Sora (Stars Align): A coming of age sports anime in which a boys soft tennis team sucks so bad that the school will disband them if they don’t win a tournament. And the team captain is so desperate for serious members, he literally pays his childhood friend who recently moved back into town to play on the team. And said childhood friend has an incredibly interesting backstory and struggling family life that ropes you in right away. How is soft tennis different from regular tennis? No clue, but this show is awesome! You can tell by the first episode it is going to be a great coming of age story, with more mature themes of abuse and class difference.

And it’s not the only sports anime with Sora in the title...

*Ahiru no Sora (Sora the Duck): Another sports anime, in which a short, spikey haired boy wants to play basketball (yeah yeah very original) but discovers that his high school basketball team is full of punks! It’s basically what would happen if Izuku Midoriya wanted to be a basketball player. The first few minutes are basically every sports anime you’ve ever seen, BUT it really lives up to its potential by the end of the first episode. It has a likable protagonist, good animation, and the female characters all wear realistic clothes to play basketball in! If you’re a piece of sports anime trash like me, this is definitely the show for you!

No Gun Life: In a detective noir world where everyone has basically become a cyborg, a guy with a gun for a head works to uncover the plans of an evil organization. That’s it, that’s the whole thing. It’s made by Madhouse AND IT’S A CYBORG WITH A GUN FOR A HEAD! What else do you need?!

Beastars: IT’S JUST ANIME ZOOTOPIA! I’m not even kidding. It’s a school based mystery involving anthropomorphic animals who are faced with the murder of one of their classmates and the disruption of the peaceful coexistence of all types of animals in the school. It involves the whole predator vs prey dynamic and how appearances are deceiving, all with a jarringly serious tone considering everyone’s an animal. The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is the use of 3D animation...which I notoriously despise no matter how great the show is. But even I am willing to put aside my hatred to keep watching this anime. The characters are interesting, it’s shot really creatively, and I love how ridiculously seriously it takes itself. Apparently it’s going to be on Netflix at some point.

*Shin Chuuka Ichiban (True Cooking Master Boy): It’s Food Wars’ less porny sibling that takes place in 19th century China, where a young boy named Mao is a master chef who travels around spreading his love for cooking! This is a reboot/continuation of an anime based on a manga from the 90s so there’s a really fun retro art style that’s nice to see updated. Apparently it picks up in the middle of the original story, but I haven’t felt like it’s necessary to see the source material to enjoy it or understand it. Also the soundtrack is bomb! It’s a great shounen to watch if you want more cross-cultural cooking anime that’s not straight up porn in your life, and it will definitely make you hungry!

Next seasons and Continuations!

And don’t forget the summer leftovers, and some shows are getting continuations!

*Chihayafuru season 3: This is an incredibly fantastic underrated sports/club anime about a girl named Chihaya who struggles to find members for her karuta club after her best friend who made her fall in love with the game moves away. Never heard of “karuta”? It’s a physically and mentally challenging traditional Japanese game involving 100 poems written on cards that the players must memorize and locate before their opponent….it makes more sense when you see it I promise. This show is goddamn amazing, with incredibly realistic characters, an amazing game that most people don’t know about, gorgeous animation. It’s hilarious, it’s dramatic, it’s sad, and it’s uplifting all at once.

This doesn’t premier until October 23, (so you’ve got time to binge the first 2 seasons!) but this is by far my most anticipated show of the season and quite possibly the entire year! I’VE BEEN WAITING SO MANY YEARS FOR ANOTHER SEASON, AND I’M SO PSYCHED!

Kono Oto Tomare (Stop this Sound) season 2: Speaking of club related anime, in case you missed the first season earlier this year, this is an anime about a boy who tries to recruit members for his high school koto club after all his senpais graduate. What’s a koto club you ask? It’s a large Japanese string instrument that no one cares about or plays anymore of course! Their club is endearingly terrible, with literally only one competent person on the team, but they’re aiming for nationals anyway, because...of course they are. This show seems pretty textbook at first, but it really grows on you the further you get. There are great character dynamics, it’s fun, it’s sweet, and there’s cool music that people don’t hear a lot of! If you like sports or club focused anime, give this one a chance!

*Dr. Stone: An action adventure in which all of humanity is mysteriously turned to stone one day. When a genius high school boy named Senku and his….not so genius friend Taiju awaken 3,700 years in the future, the two must rebuild civilization and turn the world back to normal with the power of science! I know pretty much everyone is watching this already, but I just want to reiterate how amazing it is. It is mysterious, educational, hilarious, and it really makes you think about civilization as we know it today. It was one of the best (if not the best) new show of the summer, and I’m so glad it’s getting a full run!

Vinland Saga: THE VIKING ANIME IS GETTING A FULL RUN!!!!!!!! In case you missed this gem in the summer, it’s a historical drama about a young boy named Thorfinn and his journey to avenge his father’s death and become a great warrior. And it’s all while traveling with his enemies through Northern Europe. It’s a fantastic dark, realistic story in a historical setting that filled the void left by Dororo. Plus it’s animated by Wit, so it looks beautiful. The music is great, the characters are intriguing, the story is interesting, AND IT HAS AN AMAZING ANTAGONIST! It has hype written all over it, so I’m pumped for the rest of the season! Unfortunately, you can only find it legally on Amazon Prime, so that’s why no one’s watching it.

*Fire Force: The (unfortunately timed) action/drama where fire fighters with super powers must protect Tokyo from people who are spontaneously combusting and uncover the evil rooted within their own organization. It’s made by the same person who created Soul Eater, and it definitely shows. The animation is high flying and out of this world. It’s worth watching for the action alone. But be warned, the plot and characters are it’s biggest weakness. It will jump between gratuitous fanservice and hijinks and then rocket into moral dilemmas and disturbing situations with no warning. BUT I still like watching it for the action, and in these later episodes the plot has steered itself back on track a lot more, and I’m way more interested in where the story is going now. I’m hoping that means the second half will give us a better sense of the characters. It also has a top tier muscular waifu!

*My Hero Academia season 4: I’m sure everyone’s already going to be watching MHA, but I guess I’d have my anime fan badge revoked if I didn’t at least mention this one. I may not read the manga, but I know this arc is going to be a good one! I firmly believe this will be a modern classic, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s really worth watching.

And that’s it for this season. I’ll probably do a list at the end of the year of my top shows of 2019, but otherwise, see you in the winter of 2020!

Episode Reviews - Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2 (3 of 5)

This post has been slightly delayed by a temporary prioritisation of my novel writing, but we’re now up to the middle round of episodes for Star Trek: The Next Generation’s second season. So, let’s quickly make up for lost time and dive right in on the first episode of the round…

Episode 10: The Dauphin

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

The Enterprise is assigned to transport the beautiful Salia, future ruler of Daled IV, and her governess Anya from a planet to which she has voluntarily exiled herself. Her parents, rulers of two opposing factions on Daled IV, have died, and Salia represents a chance to bring unification to the two factions. As such, Anya is overly protective of her. On board, Salia meets young Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher, who instantly becomes smitten. Wesley receives courtship advice from the crew members including from Worf, Data, Riker and Guinan. The two young people form a bond. He introduces her to Thalian chocolate mousse, and takes her to the holodeck to show her several other worlds after she expresses an interest in exploring the galaxy.

Anya, touring the ship, first gives advice on warp engine and then discovers a crew member with a virulent disease being in a containment field in Sickbay. She demands the crew member be killed to protect Salia. Chief Medical Officer Dr Pulaski refuses and insists the disease is contained, but Anya transforms into a large monstrous form, easily matching Worf's strength when he tries to intervene. When Captain Picard arrives, Anya reverts to her petite humanoid form and defiantly explains her actions. Dr Pulaski identifies Anya as an allasomorph, a shapeshifter, who could present a danger for the crew. Picard orders Anya to be confined to quarters, and Worf, as head of security, promises Anya he will watch over Salia. Picard, aware of Wesley's attraction to Salia, asks him to stay away from her, to which he agrees. At night however, as Anya is sleeping, Salia slips out of their quarters and visits Wesley, and the two share a kiss. However, they are interrupted when Anya bursts into his quarters in her beast form. To Wesley's horror, Salia also transforms into a similar beast, holding Anya at bay. Both revert to their human forms as security arrives. Later, Salia attempts to apologize to Wesley for her deception, but Wesley, hurt by seeing Salia's appearance was not the real her, is upset and refuses to listen.

The Enterprise arrives at Daled IV with no further incidents. As Salia prepares to depart, Anya reveals she will not be going with her, instead returning to her home on an orbiting moon. Anya also warns her that she will likely be unable to leave the planet once she has taken the leadership role. Salia thanks Anya for her upbringing before Anya departs. Just before Salia is to be beamed down to the planet, Wesley arrives to say his goodbyes, bringing her one last taste of chocolate mousse. Salia thanks him, and transforms into her natural form, a luminous figure of energy, before she is beamed down to the planet. In Ten-Forward, Wesley notes that he will never feel this way about anyone else, and Guinan notes that he is right; while he will fall in love again, it will not be in the same way as this time.

Review:

This episode suffers from putting Wesley in the middle of a love story to begin with, because when he goes asking for advice from the main cast, you get some very cringe-worthy scenes that demand fast-forwarding. I mean for crying out loud, the Enterprise is a family ship and we’ve seen at least one kid about Wesley’s age on board back in season 1. You would think he’d have someone more in-line with his own age to seek advice from, and even a holodeck relationship consultant would have worked better. Discounting the likes of Worf and Data, Wesley’s best bets, Riker and Guinan, sound like they’re reciting a load of drivel out of some cliché romance novel, and they get so into their phony, puke-inspiring romantic drivel that they seem to forget Wesley entirely.

However, once the episode pushes past this, we get a decent middle component, and a half-decent set of underlying messages about duty versus personal desire, judging or nor judging people on appearance and the consequences of personal deception all come through as the episode progresses through to its end. That said, Wesley is a little too petulant at feeling betrayed by Salia’s ruse, justified though he is in feeling that way, and his decision to suddenly be the proverbial “bigger man” then feels forced as a result. Frankly, this episode ends up feeling like a call-back to the horrendous quality of season 1. As such, I only give it 4 out of 10.

Episode 11: Contagion

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

The Enterprise receives a distress signal from its sister ship, the USS Yamato, from within the Romulan Neutral Zone and travels to rendezvous with them in order to assist with repairs. After the two ships meet, the Yamato suddenly suffers a warp-core breach and explodes in front of the horrified bridge crew, leaving no survivors. Shortly afterwards, a Romulan Warbird, the Haakona, decloaks before the Enterprise and demands their retreat from the Neutral Zone. Captain Picard informs the Romulans that they will not leave until they have determined why the Yamato was destroyed.

Picard reviews the ship logs made by his friend, Captain Donald Varley, to see if there was any connection between the destruction of the Yamato and the Romulans. Varley, an archeology buff like Picard, believed he had found the fabled planet of Iconia on a planet within the Neutral Zone. Varley believed that the extinct Iconians had developed extremely advanced technology, and that the Romulans might be attempting to acquire this technology for use against the Federation. However, when the Yamato neared the purported planet, the ship was scanned by a probe from the planet, and then began to experience system failures and became stranded in the Neutral Zone. Picard orders the Enterprise toward the coordinates Varley had identified as that of Iconia. Wesley asks Picard how he and the other officers are able to cope with perennially witnessing death and destruction. After reviewing the log, the Enterprise begins experiencing similar system issues that the Yamato had experienced, beginning with Picard's replicator producing a potted plant instead of his usual Earl Grey tea.

When they enter the planet's orbit, a probe is automatically launched from the surface. Having reviewed the Yamato's logs, Chief Engineer La Forge recognizes that the probe carries an alien computer program that led to the Yamato's destruction. He insists that they destroy the probe before the virus can be unleashed. However, a portion of the program was stored in the Yamato logs and had infected the Enterprise. Although mostly contained, the program still threatens to destroy the Enterprise at any time. Picard, Lt. Commander Data, and Lt. Worf beam to the source of the probe launch. While exploring the ruins, they find a teleportation portal that appears to allow for instantaneous interstellar travel to a different location, with that location changing in a cycle every few seconds. Among the destinations are the Enterprise and Haakona bridges. Data attempts to access the Iconian computer systems and becomes infected with the program himself, but retains enough of his functions to instruct Picard on how to destroy the base.

Meanwhile, in orbit, the Haakona decloaks in front of the Enterprise and threatens to attack, but soon appears to be suffering from similar system failures. The threat of attack, however, forces Commander Riker to raise the shields, which prevents them from retrieving the away team. Picard orders Worf to return with Data to the Enterprise using the Iconian gate, while he starts the destruct sequence. Before the entire structure explodes, and before the Enterprise could beam him out, Picard uses the gate to jump onto the Haakona's bridge, and discovers that their ship is set on an auto-destruct sequence they cannot stop due to the Iconian program.

On the Enterprise, Data's systems are nearly overtaken by the program. His body automatically shuts down as a protective measure, and then restarts a short time later. La Forge finds Data's systems to now be completely free of the program, and suggests a similar cold boot to clear the program from the Enterprise. With the transporters back online, Picard is beamed off the Haakona, and Riker sends instructions to the Romulans on how to clear the program from their systems. The Enterprise then leaves, not wanting to hang around in case the Romulans are less proficient in solving their technical issues.

Review:

The original Wikipedia plot summary for this episode contains a major error that I’ve just spent a bit longer than usual correcting for this article, and I’ll quickly explain what that is. Whichever idiot wrote the synopsis on Wikipedia constantly refers to the Iconian probe program as a virus, but that’s not what it is at all. In fact, the show never specifies what the program is. All they say is that it’s so advanced that it’s fundamentally incompatible with the technology of the Enterprise, not unlike trying to install a Windows 10-compatible version of Word on a Windows 95 PC. As such, this episode isn’t dealing with computer viruses and hacker culture, or if it is there’s too much metaphor and/or differences in the tech specs of what is going on to make that apparent.

If this episode does have a point, I suppose it might just be about looking at how we’d deal with encountering technology more advanced than we’re necessarily prepared for, or maybe it’s meant to highlight the importance of technology having effective safeguards if you use it to travel through hostile environments like space. However, I personally look at it as just a good episode for developing Picard as character by adding in his archaeological interests and giving him a puzzle to solve in that vein. There’s also an interesting point about revisionist history, but again it’s something later episodes of the Trek franchise would cover to greater effect. The episode is very good, and one of the better ones of this series, but it’s not quite top-level Trek. I give it a 9 out of 10.

Episode 12: The Royale

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

Following a tip from a Klingon ship, the Enterprise finds debris from an Earth ship orbiting an uninhabitable alien planet. A sample of the debris beamed aboard shows NASA markings and a 52-star American flag, meaning the debris of the ship is several hundred years old, and has travelled far beyond the capability of ships of that era. Scans of the planet reveal a small anomalous area capable of supporting human life, so Commander Riker, Lt. Worf, and Lt. Commander Data beam down to investigate, and find a revolving door in an otherwise blank environment. Upon entering they find themselves in an old Earth-style hotel and casino called The Royale, where they are cut off from contact with the Enterprise.

The away team soon discovers they are trapped inside the casino, and after making several unsuccessful attempts to leave, they decide to explore the building. They find the desiccated but preserved remains of Col. Steven Richey, a NASA astronaut, and a pulp novel entitled Hotel Royale. Upon reading Richey's diary, they learn that his starship was accidentally contaminated by an unknown race of aliens, then thrown across the galaxy, and he was the only survivor. Taking pity on him, the aliens created The Royale for him, thinking the novel's story represented humans' preferred way of living, whereas Richey found it unbearable thanks to the poor quality of the novel.

Riker, Data, and Worf realize that the plot has been recreated in detail by the aliens and is playing out in front of them, and surmise that they might be able to leave if they are scripted to do so. They assume the role of a trio of "foreign investors" described in the novel and, taking advantage of Data's ability to precisely manipulate dice at the casino's craps table, win enough money to buy out the Royale, and are then able to leave.

Review:

For me, this episode is yet another example of this show having a great premise that suffers from poor execution. Ultimately, it revolves around the idea of aliens creating a world for a human to live in based on a piece of fiction, only to go about it wrong and pick a badly-written stereotype of 1950’s Americana as their template. Apparently, the literature basis for the environment wasn’t in the original draft for the show, which had first revolved around the idea of the ancient astronaut being kept in their most pleasant memory on a loop. As such, I think the re-write to make it novel-based is a vast improvement, but they could have picked better literature.

After all, the setting of the novel in question might be torturous for being so badly written, but it’s not really giving us much as an audience to really reflect on or enjoy. Now I’m not going to suggest even for one moment going for something really stereotypical like the aliens borrowing from Shakespeare, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie or anything else of a very classic nature. However, they still could have picked another form of literature. If this episode was being made now in the era of feature television, for example, it would be interesting to see something like Warhammer 40,000 novels, superhero/sci-fi literature or even something more fantastical used. To my mind, the episode takes a great concept and just ruins it by picking a bad novel over something that could have perhaps been thought-provoking but unpleasant in some other fashion.

Add in a number of notable errors in various areas, and really The Royale just comes over as a Royale cock-up. 3 out of 10, next episode please.

Episode 13: Time Squared

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

While the Enterprise is en route to the Endicor system, the ship's sensors detect a lone shuttle craft drifting through empty space with no power or fuel reserves. When Lt. Worf and Commander Riker use the tractor beam to bring it into the shuttle bay, they find it has the same name and registry as an Enterprise shuttle. Inside is a double of Captain Picard, barely clinging to life.

After the double is brought to sickbay for treatment, Lt. Commander Data and Chief Engineer La Forge power up the shuttle, after lengthy delays due to unexpected technical incompatibility. It is then discovered that the shuttle's internal clock is about six hours ahead of the ship's chronometer which means that the shuttle, and therefore Picard's double, is from six hours into the future. They recover a very poor-quality sensor log video that shows the Enterprise falling into an energy vortex and being destroyed after the shuttle is launched.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Pulaski determines that the incoherent double's biological functions are out of sync, but are improving as the future Picard draws nearer to his own time. Picard orders that his future self be revived, but is unsuccessful in extracting any information from him. Picard is disquieted at the idea that he would abandon his ship and its crew.

As the crew members debate their options, they decide to continue on their current course. They are suddenly stopped by the vortex seen in the shuttle log and are unable to escape, even with the engines at maximum output, and become drawn further in. They send a probe into the vortex which is immediately destroyed. Scans emanating from the vortex appear to focus on Picard and an energy beam strikes him, leading him to theorize that there is an intelligence controlling the vortex which seems to be interested in him personally, and that his double left the ship to draw its attention.

Picard's double, now almost completely aware and coherent, sets out to leave the Enterprise as he did before. Picard follows him, asserting that there must have been another option, though the double only mumbles about it being impossible, as moving forward would have presumably destroyed the Enterprise. As the double is boarding the shuttle craft, Picard proclaims that the cycle must be broken and kills him with a phaser. Dr Pulaski wordlessly examines Picard's double with a tricorder as Chief O'Brien stares in shock.

Picard returns to the bridge and orders that the Enterprise fly straight into the centre of the vortex. The Enterprise comes through the other side into normal space, and the doubles of Picard and the shuttlepod disappear. The Enterprise resumes its course to the Endicor system.

Review:

Apparently, the writer of this episode had originally planned for it to feed into a subsequent Q-centric episode and make Q responsible for the vortex and Picard’s time-hopping, but Roddenberry apparently prevented this. It’s a pity, because the episode fails to assign any other cause or rationale to what happens. It’s just weird time-travel confusion for its own sake, which is generally the worst form of time travel story you can get. Anything involving time travel is generally the most headache-inducing form of time travel going, unless you take a cue from Gargoyles and just make history immutable, and all time travel consequently just becomes a necessity for history to unfold as it already has.

The fact that we don’t get an underlying rationale for the time loop makes the episode tank, as does the blithering deliberation of the crew at numerous points. Frankly, the whole concept would be played out to better effect in a later episode of TNG, and the only real value anyone might see in this is in two points. First, we get to see how far Picard is willing to go in order to do the right thing, both in terms of his future copy trying to sacrifice himself for the ship, and then his current self phasering the future copy to death to break the time loop. Second, there is a slight allegory about breaking out of self-destructive cycles to move forward, but it’s rather wasted because the idea comes up so late and isn’t really explored. For me, this episode only warrants 3 out of 10.

Episode 14: The Icarus Factor

Plot (as adapted from Wikipedia):

While the Enterprise is en route to Starbase Montgomery to run diagnostics on its engines, Picard receives a message from Starfleet offering First Officer Commander Riker command of his own, the Aries, which is on a potentially dangerous exploration mission in a distant sector. Picard advises Riker that while the Enterprise is a prestigious assignment, it cannot replace the experience of having one's own command, and gives him 12 hours (the duration of their stop at the Starbase) to decide. Riker's decision is complicated by the fact that the civilian adviser Starfleet has sent to brief him on his mission turns out to be his father, Kyle Riker, with whom he has an antagonistic relationship.

After his father makes several attempts to reconcile, which Will rebuffs, the tension between the two finally boils over, and they agree to a match of anbo-jitsu, a form of martial arts. During the match, the two continue to argue, with Will venting his bitterness over the death of his mother. Will interrupts the match, claiming a move his father used is illegal, and realizes his father had only been able to beat him in his youth by cheating, which his father admits. The two are finally able to talk and reconcile, and Will admits he is glad his father came. Later, Will opts to remain on the Enterprise because he feels it is the best place for him to be at present.

Meanwhile, Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher notices that Lieutenant Worf is acting particularly agitated, and enlists the help of Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Lt. Commander Data to find out why. The trio eventually learn that Worf was coming upon an important anniversary, 10 years since his Age of Ascension, which is normally celebrated with an important Klingon ritual among other Klingons. They recreate the ritual, which involves a gauntlet of Klingon warriors brandishing pain sticks, on the holodeck as a surprise for Worf. While reciting vows of honour, Worf undergoes jolts from the sticks with each step forward, enduring the extreme pain, and finally reaches the end, where he is grateful to his "family" aboard the ship for honouring him in this way.

Review:

Much like the previous episode, this is another episode that falls down because of Roddenberry’s interference, as he diluted the level of tension and drama between Riker and his father in the episode’s A-plot. According to Memory Alpha’s notes on production, Roddenberry believed that by the 24th century, we’d have resolved any tendency to harbour anger towards other people for their mistakes, including parents who acted like jerks to us much in the way it seems Kyle Riker did with his son. This just goes to show why post-Roddenberry Trek surpasses the Trek produced while he was an active producer of the franchise. Some of his idealism about the world of Trek seems to have been excessive and unrealistic.

The fact is anger is as important an emotion to the human psyche as any other. I know a lot of people tend to categorise emotions as good or bad, but really no emotion is either one. Fear keeps us alive by counselling us against stupid risks, anger gives us the impetus to express outrage and complain against injustice, sadness lets people know something is wrong with us, and supposedly positive emotions like happiness can be negative if we somehow misuse them. As such, no one in their right mind should be thinking of any given emotional state as something we’ve just ‘gotten over’. We might get past some of the root causes that bring up certain emotions, but we need to retain the emotions themselves for anytime a new emotional trigger is discovered and has to be addressed.

The A-plot around the Rikers also falls flat because it also involves a possible promotion and re-assignment for Will. Since mid-season cast shifts are not a common occurrence in most shows, even with the season 1 death of Tasha Yar as precedent, you’re almost certain as an audience member that Will is going to stay, and lo and behold he does. As for the B-plot, it’s ok but the scenes where Worf loses his temper at Wesley and then Data made me go for the fast-forward again. Add in Roddenberry’s delusion watering down of the A-plot, and all I can give this episode is a meagre 3 out of 10.
