Plot

In this conclusion to the previous season's cliffhanger, Riker, Troi, Dr. Crusher, Geordi and Captain Picard follow Data into the past to solve the mystery of the how Data's head ended up in the cavern and what the strange aliens are up to in 19th century San Francisco. Picard meets Guinan for the second time although it's Guinan's first meeting with Picard (aren't time paradoxes wonderful?). Dr Crusher determins that the aliens use the kolera- epidemic to cover their actions, but unfortunaly the awayteam is discovered by a policeman, who does not know his new fellow policeman (Riker), and they have to run to avoid capture. Mark Twain is portrayed by Mr. Hardin as a nosy, suspicious cuss who follows Riker, Troi, Dr. Crusher and Geordi back to the future and volunteers to return to the past in order to save the captain and returning him to the Enterprise.

In-Jokes

  • Samuel Clemens mispronounces Hailey's comet. The promounciation he uses comes from the 1950's, when "Bill Hailey and the Comets", best known for "Rock Around the Clock" was popular.
