So a couple of things right off the bat.
First – our regular posting schedule looks to be as follows:
Tuesdays: Fresh Episodes
Thursdays: Episode Previews
Our thinking here is that previews come out on Thursday, you’ll have the weekend to catch the episode, then be up-to-speed when our new episode drops on Tuesday.
Second – this episode that we’re going to watch… it’s pretty rough. If you’re a Trek veteran, you know what you’re getting into… so feel free to watch along with us. If you’re new to Trek, this one isn’t required viewing (unless you like copious amounts of cheese).
Please enjoy this preview, and we’ll see you on Tuesday with the full show!

What’s really amazing about The Naked Now is that a) it didn’t kill TNG after two episodes and b) as terrible as this episode is, it’s not the worst.
I must have been at just the right age to, having seen many other episodes, think this one was a fun episode. Yikes.
As someone who watched almost all the episodes on their original air dates, I can say that back then I think a lot of people were just super excited to have ANY new trek and, at least from the production design, it looked like it had some serious money behind it. I remember reading at the time that the average per episode budget was $1 million. Crazy money back then.
I just think a lot of us had faith that the bones of the show – the characters, the sets, the philosophy behind the show – was all really solid and they would eventually find their footing in the storytelling.
