Leonard Crofoot (Trent) joins us for this review and discussion of TNG's "Angel One"!

When the Enterprise visits a matriarchal society while looking for survivors from a Federation freighter, they find themselves in the middle of a gender revolution. But when the survivors refuse to leave, Trent's Angels sentence them to death. How hard is it for a society to adapt? How hard is Riker in Mistress Beata's bed?
