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!
