    Relics - s6e4

    Relics - s6e4

    We need more development, Scotty! It's the return of Captain Montgomery Scott by way of James Doohan by way of a jury-rigged transporter buffer. The Enterprise encounters a Dyson sphere in the middle of space, and a Federation transport ship crashed on its massive surface. Geordi rescues Scotty from the transporter, but can't rescue him from feeling old. Like a relic from the past, if I may be so bold. The bridge of the Enterprise from the original series - NOT the movies - is visited in the holodeck, and the ambiguously engineer duo of Scotty and Geordi team up to get the ship out of the garage before the door closes. All in all, more was desired from this TOS incursion, but it was a good drink, nonetheless. Bright green, of course.

    Man of the People - s6e3

    Man of the People - s6e3

    I gotta say, Troi sure knows how to pick 'em! But I blame the writers here. A diplomat comes in hot from an exploding transport ship but it's his mom that steals the show being angry at Troi's existence. Ambassador Alkar forms a bond with her, noting her empathic abilities, before his mom is found dead. Troi and Alkar touch crystals. Then she goes whackadoo: wearing revealing dresses, sleeping with ensigns,  scratching Riker, stabbing Picard, etc. We find out Alkar has got a shit-ton of these receptacles and Picard's not standing for it!

    Realm of Fear - s6e2

    Realm of Fear - s6e2

    Lt. Barclay gets waylaid by a phobia of the transporter variety. He tries to shake it, the psychosis, but then he sees floating puppets eating his arm while he's in the matter stream. What if the phobias are true? His arm sure is blue! Geordi and Troi and O'Brien all bond with Barclay the clown before he goes from zero-to-hero miraculously fast.

    Time's Arrow, Part II - s6e1 (SEASON PREMIERE)

    Time's Arrow, Part II - s6e1 (SEASON PREMIERE)

    Going to California. The whole gang is here in San Francisco, Guinan, Jack London, and Mark Twain included. There are aliens stealing human mind energies and Beverly Crusher has been crushing it as a nurse in a cholera ward. If there was a way to hide murderous aliens by going back in time, our dear doctor tells us THIS would be the perfect crime. Except Riker the cop who totally respects the law. Twain is a pain in Guinan's actual bonnet, while Picard rents a room from the most Irish landlady in Berkeley as, you guessed it, a traveling band of theater actors rehearsing Midsummer's Night Dream. Twain goes through time to the Enterprise, Data's head gets screwed on, and Guinan falls in friend love with a bald man. Then everything gets wrapped nicely. Somehow.

    Time's Arrow - s5e26 (FINALE)

    Time's Arrow - s5e26 (FINALE)

    As both Huey Lewis and his famous News have taught us, we gotta go back in time! It's 1889 S.F. this time around the sun but it takes the Enterprise crew a little while to get there. They find Data's head in a cave, contemplate death in Ten Forward, Guinan drops some plot bomb, and then bang, Data's in San Francisco at the stop of act three. There's some freaky aliens stealing human energies with a black light. There's also a poker game, an anvil gag, and Mark Twain as Hal Holbrook played by Jerry Hardin.
    Special Guest Tyler Jacobson returns to talk about this episode and where it should have been cliffhunged. Cliffhanged? Cliffhung!

    The Inner Light - s5e25

    The Inner Light - s5e25

    Picard playing the flute will get me every damn time. So damn good. While investigating deep space, the Enterprise finds a random odd-shaped probe out there. Before they know it, Picard is knocked unconscious by a beam of energy and lays down on the Bridge thanks to Riker gentle hands. He wakes up in a rustic house, being cared for by a woman who says he's his wife. Picard has all the memories of being Picard, but his wife Eline calls him Kamin and says he's a respected iron weaver who's been sick. A whole life goes by, Picard getting older as he ages through the decades on the planet Kataan, has children, grandchildren, and learns to love playing the Ressikan flute while the Enterprise crew attempt to break him out of his coma. But it's only been 25 minutes... Wonderful episode. Watch it and weep.
