Angry Asian Trekkies
Two Asian-Canadian(/American) friends from the 80s rewatch selected episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation in an effort to come to terms with the multicultural politics of their childhood. Both critical and nostalgic, Angry Asian Trekkies seeks to understand the allure and pitfalls of TNG's not quite post-racial longing, and to decide if they can continue to love this show in the twenty first century.

Episode 5
(ST:TNG S2E8) We recap Riker's exchange-student experience on board a Klingon ship, while a Benzite serves on board the Enterprise. The situation gets tense and there's a potential standoff between the Enterprise and the Pagh... how will Riker balance his divided loyalties? Also, Riker learns to eat live gagh, displays his physical prowess, and gets frisky with Klingon females. Good hunting, Will!
