Earl Grey 76: This is Ceti Risa Five!

Sexuality and Relationships.   The Next Generation was not bashful about examining issues of sexuality and relationships during its seven seasons. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, episodes like "Justice" and "Captain's Holiday" portrayed a 24th Century where sexual expression was much more open and equal for both sexes. TNG also introduced alien species like the Betazed (in the forms of Lwaxana and Deanna Troi), the J'naii ("The Outcast"), and the Trill ("The Host") who have completely different perspectives on romantic relationships. Phillip. Daniel, and Darren examine how Gene Roddenberry's vision of futuristic sexual expression compares to modern day attitudes, and how people will view relationships 300 years from now. The Earl Grey trio attempt to explain how the Commander William T. Riker/Counselor Troi relationship best represents 24th Century mores. So set your coordinates for Risa, bring along your horga'hn, and join in on the discussion of sexuality and relationships in TNG.   Hosts Daniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren Moser   Editor / Producer Darren Moser   Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen   Chapters TNG is a Sexy Show (00:03:04)   The Edo (00:04:40)   Risa (00:12:50)   J'nali (00:18:43)   Trill (00:23:24)   Betazeds (00:38:00)   Human (00:44:10)   Closing Thoughts (00:52:56)     Send us your feedback!
