The Logs

Every teaser describes only the setup — the situation you're in during the first few minutes. No twists, no endings, no "and then it turns out". Two-part stories are flagged so you know to clear a double slot, but the cliffhanger itself is never described.

Episode titles, season and episode numbering, and broadcast years come from the Wikipedia list of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, cross-checked against TVDB. Two-part stories that aired as single double-length broadcasts — the pilot and the finale — are listed as one entry each, which is why the count lands at 176.

Nothing is fetched at runtime. The whole log ships with the page, so picking is instant and never depends on somebody else's API being up.

Each episode gets one primary character — whose story it actually is, not just who's on screen — plus any secondary characters with a real subplot. Picking a character returns episodes where they are either.

• Captain Picard — Tea, archaeology, speeches that end arguments.
• Commander Riker — Command chair swagger and the occasional trombone.
• Lt. Cmdr. Data — The android's long homework assignment on being human.
• Lieutenant Worf — Honor, bat'leths, and Klingon family trouble.
• Counselor Troi — Feelings as evidence. Empathy under pressure.
• Geordi La Forge — Engineering miracles, warp physics, terrible luck in love.
• Dr. Beverly Crusher — Sickbay ethics and one very steady bedside manner.
• Wesley Crusher — The kid genius growing up in everyone's way.
• Q — The omnipotent nuisance drops in to make a point.
• The whole crew — No preference — anybody on the ship.

Vibes are editorial and deliberately blunt: they describe how the episode feels to sit through, not what genre a database would file it under. Most episodes carry two.

• Cerebral — A puzzle solved by thinking, not shooting.
• Spooky — Lights low, corridors long, something aboard.
• Action — Shields up. Somebody is definitely firing.
• Comedy — The show having an obviously good time.
• Tender — Somebody's heart is on the table.
• Weird / Surreal — Reality politely declines to behave.
• Moral Dilemma — The Prime Directive versus a bad night's sleep.
• Bleak — Cold, sad, no comfort offered.
