I really enjoyed the curve ball they threw in this TNG episode. First I thought Riker was in the future, then I thought the Romulans were trying to trick him... then I learned that some weird little alien kid was lonely and created the whole illusion to keep Riker there.

I remember thinking "Ooh....he told Picard to shut up." Even though I knew he was a fake Picard—you just don't tell Captain Jean-Luc Picard to 'shut his mouth'...not ever. It's sacrilegious. :D

This was a well written episode. I agree with Moyers, it was one of the best. :)

Great podcast episode Rico. ;)

Yep, good points Jen. It was interesting how they kept twisting the story around and sort of gave everyone the wrong idea at first. Good stuff.

:) Hey Rico; another outstanding podcast covering an awesome episode! :thumbsup

Like Jen mentioned, it was cool to see Riker laying down the law to the fake Picard and crew, and Data's lame excuse for his slow processor speed made me chuckle. The Intros were cool as well; loved the Enterprise duet, as well as the Moyer's bit: "Hey, TIVO; let me buy you a drink" LOL. Also, thanks for including my RPG post in the podcast; your check is in the mail. ;)

Great podcast Rico! Thanks for doing these every week. I look forward to them.

What a great episode. The makeup was great, and the cool technology differences were cool. It was fun to speculate what the future held for the Enterprise D.

Fun fun!

Yeah - I think this episode and podcast came together very well. Glad you guys are digging it.

Great show Rico! This is one of my favorite episodes - ( I have so many LOL) I remember how shocked I was that Riker told THE CAPTAIN to shut up, as well. Good stuff.

Thanks. It was actually done during a mic check for our own podcast... it was so funny we used it at the end of our show, as an Easter Egg. We couldn't stop giggling. :)

Yeah - knew it when I played the clip. But still had to share it. :)

Maybe Rico remembers Chris Demetral because he's a fellow Michigander... from Royal Oak, MI (according to IMDB).
