Happy 30th Birthday Star Trek: The Next Generation

On September 28th, 1987; Star Trek: The Next Generation first appeared on American screens and a cultural phenomenon was born. It had a profound effect on countless people worldwide and numbers among history’s most iconic TV Shows.

It also means a lot to members of the Kneel Before Pod team so this anniversary couldn’t be allowed to pass by without some form of tribute being paid to it. Craig and Nick engaged in a detailed discussion about their feelings on the show. The discussion ran so long that it had to be split into two parts that can be selected above.

Craig can be found on this very site, Nick can be found on some earlier podcasts but is primarily known for the Star Trek fan series Intrepid.
