Podcast # 638 – “Violations” – 1706.11

This week I’m back with a classic style show featuring a TNG episode.  First, I talk about the great new “Wonder Woman” movie and how much I enjoyed it.  Really good and I hope a sign of good things to come from DC comic movies.  I also have a music moment from Vartok featuring some Wonder Woman music from the film.  Then I talk a little about the strange TV I’m watching at the moment and what else I’ve been enjoying.  Then it’s on to the TNG episode.

The season 5 episode from TNG called “Violations” is not the greatest Trek episode, but I think it’s an interesting one.  This is the episode involving the telepathic aliens who come aboard the Enterprise and one of them is a very bad person.  He basically can go into a person’s mind and alter their memories to point and he violates several of the crew – especially Troi.  Eventually Picard and company get to the bottom of things.  This episode has a strong message about rape – but in this case it’s a mental violation.  Strong stuff, but handled well on TNG.

That’s about it for this time out.  Next week should be a guest cast and in two weeks a Skype show.  Until next time take care and enjoy your week ahead.
