TNG’s The Outcast, with Matt Baume
Rachel Watches Star Trek - A podcast by Rachel Watches Star Trek
With Matt, we examine TNG’s attempt to make a gay episode - and what they accidentally did instead. Is this a pioneering exploration of gender and trans issues, an empathy-generating and meaningful allegory of queer oppression, or a too-late, too-safe and tragic attempt to appease gay fans? We recap the episode then dive into concepts, entertainment, sexiness and stupid experts. Do you agree with our ratings?
