"The Measure Of A Man"

Published on: 3rd July, 2023

How does one measure a man? In friends? In deeds? In inches? Perhaps there is no answer. Perhaps the point is to continually ask and challenge ourselves with the question. Geez, that sounds like a lot of work. How about we just gather around the TV and let Star Trek spoon feed us the answers? Sound like a plan? Good, then lets take a plop on the couch and watch this all-time classic episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This is the beginning of part three of our 100 episode list, Venturing Out Into The Universe, in which we're examining how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over its history. In this chunk of episodes, we're going to be looking at The TNG Renaissance--that period of time when the show transitioned out of its rocky early days and into the beloved classic it was destined to become. This will be a ten episode selection comprised of episodes from the Second, Third, and Fourth Seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1989-90).

Episode discussion starts at 17:35.

Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, & Ellen Lewis.

About the Podcast

Star Trek Stories
A Watch-Along Podcast
A podcast where we hang out with friends, watch episodes from across the Star Trek franchise, and chat about them!

This is a show for both newcomers and long-time fans alike, as part of we what do here is explore perspectives on Star Trek and storytelling in general. We're currently watching through a curated 100 episode list titled "Venturing Through The Universe." In this list, we're exploring how the Star Trek franchise has grown and changed over the decades, beginning with its origins in 1964 and seeing where it ends up in the modern day. We'll go on adventures with Mister Spock, listen to Patrick Stewart wax philosophically about humanity, and see how high Captain Pike's towering pompadour can get. Covering the good, the bad, and the ugly, we'll get a look at just about everything Star Trek has to offer. So grab your headphones, cue up an episode, and get lost in a silly little Star Trek story with us. Make it so!
