Mismatched Episodes.
 
Kathryn Janeway, captain of the Enterprise?  Jadzia Dax and Sylvia Tilly serving side by side?  Jonathan Archer and Tom Paris at the Royale?  How would the 24th century be different if the crew of the NCC 1701-D were replaced with characters from the other Star Trek series?  Would anyone play with Wesley?

In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Amy Nelson, Pierre LaRocco, and Ria Papageorgiou discuss what would happen if the characters from different Star Trek series were like a deck of cards, shuffled and dealt into various TNG episodes.  The hosts each come in with three mismatched episodes and discuss the implications of characters traversing space and time and creating alternate adventures aboard the Enterprise-D.

His quest to understand the human condition and become more human himself is developed through his choice of leisure activities and entertainment choices.
