Spocklight: A Star Trek Podcast

The Spocklight crew are reunited with Chris Carr from ‘Homicide: Life on the Set’ and ‘Secrets and Spies’ to cover Family from Star Trek: The Next Generation.   We discuss how this episode resulted in a surprising ratings low for the series and why that might have been, examine the structure of the episode and how it conforms to the kind of A, B, C plot shape that’s become a lost art in the streaming age, praise the challenging nature of the material and Patrick Stewart's performance, and even find time to tackle the recent Generations 40th Anniversary short film, Unification.    As usual you can find SPOCKLIGHT on: X - @spocklightpod INSTAGRAM – @spocklightpod BLUESKY - @spocklightpod.bsky.social FACEBOOK – https://www.facebook.com/spocklightpod/ EMAIL - spocklightpod@gmail.com Please Follow, like, share and all that good stuff.   You can find Chris @chriscarrfilm.bsky.social Homicide: Life on the Set @homicidepod.bsky.social and Secrets & Spies @secretsandspies.bsky.social on Bluesky.   Credit for our w
