7:2 Liaisons – Three ambassadors from a new species demonstrate that they have no idea what “diplomacy” is; they use their designated liaisons from the Enterprise — Troi, Worf, and Picard — to explore some foreign-to-them concepts: pleasure, antagonism, and romantic love. The one with Troi explores pleasure by experiencing desserts (I really don’t think…

ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 6, Part IX
6:25 Timescape – The first half of this episode is truly nifty — coming back from some dang conference or another (isn’t it amazing how so much “exploration” is replaced with “bureaucracy”?) on a runabout (which is NOT a shuttlecraft, so it’s not a designated Death Trap), Picard, Troi, LaForge and Data encounter localized time…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 6, Part VIII
6:22 Suspicions – Dr. Crusher indulges her hobby interest in shielding technology (uh-huh) to host a bunch of alien scientists on the Enterprise (okay) to examine the theories of a Ferengi physicist (why not); then the whole thing becomes a whodunit (sure) which hinges on an unknown-but-probably-should-have-been-known element of alien physiology (naturally). Actually, what this…

6:19 Lessons – Time for another “Captain Picard falls in love” episode, which means time for my daughter to cry out, “Why can’t Captain Picard ever find happiness?!” Of the three main romances* Picard has had — Vash the archaeological thief, Kamala the empathic metamorph, and this episode’s Lieutenant Commander Daren — this one makes…

6:17-18 Birthright Parts I & II – Worf gets a tantalizing tidbit of rumor: Maybe his father did NOT die in the Romulan raid on Khitomer. Could it be true? He follows up on it, to discover a remote planet on which Romulans have guarded a prison camp of dishonored Klingon survivors of Khitomer, one…

6:13 Aquiel – What is it about Geordi that the writers always set him up to fall in love with an image rather than a real person? I mean, first that warp engineer babe on the holodeck, and now, he’s reviewing the logs of one of the two crewmembers who mysteriously vanished from a subspace…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 6, Part IV
Chain of Command, Part I & II – This is an unforgettable two-part episode, so much so that most people forget about the dumb Picard/Crusher/Worf covert mission that gets them into all of this trouble. (It isn’t until years later on DS9 that Starfleet’s covert ops arm becomes canon, but even so, you gotta assume…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 6, Part III
6:7 Rascals – A transporter oopsie accidentally deletes a jot and tittle in the DNA of Picard, Guinan, Ensign Ro and Keiko O’Brien, materializing them all as 10-to-12-year-old child actors. Aside from the awkwardness while Dr. Crusher figures out what happened and how to reverse it, it wouldn’t really be a problem… except then the…
