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.

ST:TNG S3E7 After breathing a sigh of relief at the greater complexity of the writing in season three, we examine the racial politics of Geordi's alliance with the Romulan Bochra; debate the ethics of Worf's refusal to donate blood to a sworn enemy; and break down a new level of Picard's realpolitik.
