Spooky Scenes.
 
Star Trek has had some very spooky moments and episodes throughout its 51 year history. The Next Generation has been no exception, ranging from entire episodes of gradually building psychological terror to brief but frightening scenes that seem to come out of nowhere.

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Justin Oser, Richard Marquez, and Amy Nelson discuss their top three scary scenes from The Next Generation. On this spooky Halloween, we are frightened by dead bodies sitting up, Skin of Evil, strange clicking sounds, and much more!

Unsung Episodes Season 6.
 
Every season of The Next Generation has episodes that get overlooked or ignored. Well, not here and not today.  Most fans will quickly identify "Chain of Command Part I and II," "Face of the Enemy," and "Tapestry" as being their favorite episodes from season six.

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson, Richard Marquez, and Justin Oser list their three unsung episodes from season six. Each host puts up a good defense on why their chosen episodes should be among the fan favorites or at least viewed with a fresh perspective devoid of preconceived perceptions.
