Breaking Down Star Trek TNG S1E15: 11001001

Adam and myself discuss the 15th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation's first season, '11001001.' The episode features the technologically advanced aliens - the Bynars who update the Enterprise's computer systems. We talk about the character interactions, plot intricacies, and the portrayal of AI from 1980 and today in 2024.

We highlight the well-constructed nature of the episode, critique its weaker points, and the amusing moments and dialogues. Additionally we mention the real-world parallels to AI, the Bynar's unique communication and societal structure, and some fun facts about the production.
