Episodes That Never Happened.

We have all seen episodes (or entire seasons!) of televisionshows that end with, "It was all just a dream!" It can sometimesfeel like such storytelling is a "cheat" or are a waste of time.This week, Phillip, Darren, and Daniel pick out episodes of "TheNext Generation" that may not have "really" happened, as far as thecrew of the Enterprise-D is concerned. The trio asks whether theseepisodes are still enjoyable or whether it would have been betterto have a storyline that "actually" occurred instead.

Earl Grey examines episodes featuring amnesia, such as "Conundrum"and "Thine Own Self," as well as "It was all an illusion!" episodeslike "Future Imperfect," "Remember Me," and "Frame of Mind." Theyalso tackle "complicated" fan favorites such as "Inner Light,""Yesterday's Enterprise,""Tapestry," and "All Good Things..." Theylook at whether episodes that are "outside" reality help or hurt astory. Other episodes they look at include "Parallels,"""Tapestry," and "Cause and Effect." 

Join Earl Grey for this week's podcast about the "never happened"episodes ... which hopefully will not be considered a waste of timefor listeners (though they may hit the reset button at theend).
