Greatest Generation

When Trelane’s final project involves casting the crew into a soap opera, Captain Pike not inhabiting his role puts the great human experiment at risk. But after the dramas play out and the proctor declares humans interesting, the crew is released to pick back up with their own internal struggles. Which host is standing in the way of the next tour? What needs to be turned into Canadian Heritage Minutes? Who can’t escape the Borg cube of quad box apologies? It’s the episode that might as well pivot to Sopranos.
