Star Trek - The Next Generation - Season 6 |
|
Although the plot has more holes than something with a whole lot of holes, this is really quite enjoyable.
This may be the only time Part 2 is better than Part 1 in a double episode. Brent Spiner is great as always.
The crews performance of A Midsummer Night�s Dream is funny, and watch out for my man Marc Alaimo playing a one
of the card sharks. Never mind the stupid plot, just enjoy it.

This may be the worst of the Barclay episodes but it's still good. I do think it is strange that a person
is so aware of his surroundings during transport. How can you see anything while you're in the matterstream,
when your eyes are split into sub-atomic particles! And why did the crew in the matterstream manifest themselves
as eel-like creatures? That should keep Starfleet scientists busy for a while.

Quite dull. But Troi gets lots of screen time, which is a plus. She�s really scary at some points. At least Riker thinks so.
Deanna's aging effects are well done. Ambassador Alcar is not an exciting villain and thankfully he dies a horrible death, Yeah!

Sir, Beam Up Scotty! The fat engineer form Aberdeen is resurrected in stylish fashion. I thought
Geordi was a little too hard on him though "Frankly, you�re in the WAY!". There are many references
to the original series. The scene with Picard on the holodeck is painfully nostalgic. By the way, the Dyson
Sphere sub-plot could have made a really cool episode in itself.

Alien abduction with a twist. This has some remarkably effective visual and audio effects that
makes up for one very disturbing episode. The solanagen based alien ghouls are very mysteriuos and evil
looking, and the holodeck sequence is one of the most eerie moments on TNG.
Also has some hillarious comedy, Worf visiting Mr. Mot for a trim and data's legendary Ode to Spot.
Very good indeed.

"You have been acused a committing a homicide." Klingon cowboys? A very funny episode starting off
with a great scene where Picard tries to concentrate on his music. Brent Spiner plays no less than six
parts, quite remarkable. Plenty of witty dialogue. Data getting infected with a southern accent is hillarious.
A pure comedy show. I loved it.
|
|
|
The script is not excactly mindblowing but Data gets a fair amount character develpment.
Even if it might be on the dull side of things there is nothing wrong with the message, true Trek ethics.

In my book this is the best two-part episode ever in the Star Trek franchise.
I just love every scene in both parts. The ship is handed over to the no-nonsense millitaristic
Captain Edward Jellico, brilliantly played by Ronny Cox. Portraid almost as a villian
in this, getting on edge with the entire regular cast, he is just too damned efficient for the merry men of the Enterprise.
A great moment is at the negotiation table with Gul Lemec, generally stuffed with classic dialogue.

The story in this is not as grand and epic as most two-parters attempt to be, it's totally character driven.
The Enterprise crew members are NOT having a jolly good time for once. It's all painfully serious this time.
The torture and degradation of the noble Captain Picard is truly heartbreaking to watch. You can only be disgusted by
the way the Cardassians were portrayed in this. When Jellico with the reluctant help of Commander Riker finally get them
it's with a feeling of utter triumph of good over evil. This is just as good as it gets.

Some rather dubious holodeck antics. Very confusing and not quite plausible. But the story is good and
it recieves extra merit for the presence of both Barclay and professor moriaty. The obvious conclusion is avoided
and the ending is quite satisfying. Barclays remark at the very end "Computer, end program." was a bit redundant,
so just ignore it.
|
|
|
A basic murder mystery and another Geordi lovestory. He actually does pretty well this time.
The coalescent organism is nice and there are Klingons in it but the script just is exciting enough.
Nothing special.
|
|
|
Finally Troi gets a good episode. Sirtis prooves once and for all that she is capable of taking on
a challenging script and being the star of the show. A high drama featuring my favourite aliens, the Romulans.
The fascist Tal Shiar are introduced. Carolyn Seymour returns, this time as Toreth. In my opinion the best
ever Romulan story ever.
|
|
|
"Is there a John Luck Pikkert here?" An unusual story, and the best Q show of them all.
The script is really quite deep and philosophical, but it's carried out in a funny and ironic way.
Death is a heavy subject. Steward and De Lancie are are the best actors Star Trek has ever seen.
|
|
|
This is one story where the sub-plot is better than the main story. Data's dreams are very nicely
done and and the breif appearance of Dr. Bashir is great. Worf is also a lot of fun when he's really angry,
smashing furniture and all. Lot's of well written dialogue.
|
|
|
Lots of Klingon stuff here. Worf is being almost too Klingon when he accepts his excution because
it is the honorable thing to do. The young Toq is nicely played, as is Tokath. The outcome of Worf
attempts to help these people isn't good, in fact he ruins their lives. Sometimes it is best not to
know what you're missing.
|

|
"My name is Mot...I�m the barber." An action-packed whopper of an episode. Picard does make
an excellent action hero, doesn't he? The fast pace builds up to an intense climax. The scene where
Data and Hutchinson make "non-relevant conversation" is a true classic.
|
|
|
An unusually quiet episode. It's the definitive Picard love story. There scene where he and
Daren play their first duet is very sweet. It's a rare sight to see Picard allowing himself to smile.
It's kind of sad that Daren has to go, she was perfect for him.
|

The whole show is an epic build-up to one of the most disappointing endings in Trek history.
I felt exactly like Nu�Daq "If she were not dead, I would kill her!" Dispite the anti-climax this
is a very good, and well written story. Also, one of the great Star Trek mysteries is finally solved:
Why all races in the galaxy basicly look like humans (with latex streched over their faces). They are
all descendants of this ancient humanoid race. There's an explanation that should satisfy most nitpickers.
|

|
This is definetely on my top 5 of the best shows ever. Jonathan Frakes gives a performance of a lifetime
in a psycological nightmare of an episode. The story is really quite similar to Future Imperfect but much
darker and significantly more scary. The viewer feels like he is going insane, trying to make sense of whats
happening. The direction is flawless. A winner!
|
|
|
Yet another murder mystery, this time with Beverly Crusher as the detective.
She does a good job of it and blows a big-ass hole in Jo�Brill. Thumbs up! There is one
reference to Ferengi burial rituals, excuse me but don't the Ferengi sell their dead or is it just me?
|
|
|
"I...I see... Kahless!" A look at Klingon religion. I think Kahless just a warrior vesion of Jesus,
strange that he was presented as one the most evil tyrants in the galaxy The Savage Curtain. Nice to
see that the writers acknowledge the power of religious belief. There's very good charactisation of Worf.
The best Klingon episode along with Redemption.
|
|
|
A double dosis of Jonathan Frakes. A great opportunity to explore the lost romance of Riker and Troi.
Tomas Riker seems a lot more romantic than his counterpart. The flowers and chockolate work wonders with Troi.
The poker scene is very good. Although the direction is stunning, there is one major blooper to watch for:
check out the scene at the end when Will saves his twin from falling off the bridge. Just focus on Leuitenant
Riker's legs as he gets up and you see what I mean.

This has always been one of my favourite shows, I don't know why it isn't more popular.
The plot is clever and the frozen ships and crew work visually very well. But my favoutite scene
is the little chat in the beginning, something about this always makes me laugh of loud.
Picard: "He just keeps talking and talking in one long incredible unbroken sentense
the effect is really quite hypnotic..."
