Well we got a doozy this week. This is a pretty middle of the road episode, gotta say. Long story short, a childless planet kidnaps a few kids off of the Enterprise, including Wesley (they have kidnapper's remorse like immediately) but I guess it's bad manners to return kidnapped kids so they're just stuck with him?

No one seems to understand radiation, Chris Hansen is nowhere in sight, and we find out that children have a trombone value, which Riker would like to evaluate further as he wants to beef up his trombone collection. It remains unclear what the trade value of a child to trombone is though, so don't expect much of a resolution.

In fact, lower your expectations for any resolutions because except for some kid getting out of of three days of calculus homework, it's a pretty bland episode. And I'm fairly certain this has a really morbid resolution but Dave tries to talk me out of it. 

Featuring: No Stardate WHERE AND WHEN ARE WE it's total chaos! Terrible, just awful slight of hand! Questionable parenting! The age old question, how many trombones is a child worth? The awkward incest question in the room that no one is talking about! Skynet if it got infected by something that made it super chill and just let humans eradicate themselves!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
