			       Introduction

   Since the cancellation of Star Trek in 1969, the number of fans, known
throughout the world as "Trekkies" or "Trekkers", has grown to tremendous
proportions.  Star Trek has spawned more original novels, and stories by
both professionals and fans (many whom later became professionals), fan
clubs, toys, games, comics, etc. than any other single show in the history
of television.  Since the early 70s, those fans have been clamoring for
more of their favorite spaceship and crew to be filmed - the novels and
stories were just not enough to satisfy our yearnings to travel in space,
albeit vicariously, and to travel where no man had gone before.
   In 1973, it appeared as if Trek fandom had gotten its wish.  Sort of.
Paramount Pictures and NBC aired an animated version of the show.  Many of
the original cast lent their voices and many good writers and artists lent
their talents to the new show but, sadly, the show only lasted two seasons.
   But, as Riker says in the episode, "Contagion": fate protects fools,
little children, and ships named Enterprise.  And so in 1980, Star Trek
came to the big screen.  While the movie itself was not been received very
well, it did well enough for Paramount to do several more pictures.  And
the popularity of Star Trek grew again.  Now, there were not only the
original fans of the series, but all of the fans that grew up on reruns of
the show as well as all of the new fans brought in by the novels and the
movies.  
   By 1984, Paramount and Gene Roddenberry were talking about a new
television project.  For nearly two years, negotiations continued on what
the show would be like, how it would be sold (network or syndication),
which members of the cast would return, etc.  Although the fans were kept
primarily in the dark on all this, from time to time, rumors surfaced.
   Finally, 21 years after the original Star Trek first made its mark on
the history of SF and television, Gene Roddenberry and Paramount Pictures
released for our enjoyment, Star Trek: The Next Generation.  
   This episode guide contains the list of all of the episodes to date in
the order in which they were aired.  Included in the description of each
episode is the name of the producer, the director and the writer as well as
the guest cast list and the parts they played.  In most cases, the names of
characters were taken from the TV Guide or guessed at from their usages in
the episode.  Also included for each episode is a brief synopsis of the
show WITHOUT spoilers.

Producer: David Livingston
Director: David Livingston
Teleplay: Rene Echevarria
Story: Ken Schafer, Rene Echevarria

En route to a conference on Risa, Commander La Forge is captured by a
Romulan ship and brainwashed to perform some service for the Romulans.
Meanwhile, the Enterprise is on its way to Krios with Ambassador Kell to
investigate claims made by the Klingon governor that the Federation has
been supplying weapons to rebels on the planet.  The Enterprise determines
that the weapons being supplied to the rebels, while appearing to be
Federation issue are, in fact, manufactured by the Romulans.

While at Krios, La Forge returns to the Enterprise completely unaware that
he has been with the Romulans and believing to have spent the time at Risa
as planned.  He assists Picard in investigating the source of the weapons
supplied to the rebels and assists Data in investigating the mysterious
E-band signals that the Enterprise has detected.  La Forge, under the
influence of the Romulans, beams a supply of weapons to the rebels that is
intercepted by the governor, causing Vagh to accuse Picard of complicity in
the rebellion.  When Governor Vagh boards the Enterprise to watch the
investigation into the incident, he is nearly assassinated by La Forge,
again completely under the influence of the Romulan's conditioning.

During the scenes on the Romulan cruiser when La Forge is being
conditioned, a Romulan commander appears in the background hidden in
shadows.  There has been a lot of speculation as to the identity of the
Commander however, the voice of the actress sounds a great deal like Denise
Crosby who had left the show.

IN THEORY
Producer: David Livingston

Director: Patrick Stewart
Cast: Michele Scarabelli (Jenna DeSaura), Rosalind Chao (Keiko), Pamela
Winslow (Ens. McKnight)

A crewman who recently broke up with her boyfriend starts making passes at

advice from his fellow shipmates in unhelpful in understanding the
complexity his new-found relationship with DeSaura.  Meanwhile, the
Enterprise attempts to cope with mysterious "dark matter" which causes
portions of the ship to desolidify at random.

This episodes is one of the more subtly humorous of this season's stories.
Data's attempts at understanding love reminds us all of how awkward our own
first attempts were and how complex and confusing the situation is.  Data,
as an android without the capacity to exhibit emotion is hilariously stiff
and mechanical in dealing with the situation.

REDEMPTION
Producer: David Livingston
Writer: Ronald D. Moore
Director: Cliff Bole
Cast: Robert O'Reilly (Gowron), Tony Todd (Kurn), Barbara March (Lursa),
Gwynyth Walsh (B'Etor), Ben Slack (K'Tal), Nicholas Kepros (Movar), J.D.
Cullum (Toral), Tom Ormeny (Klingon 1st Officer), Clifton Jones (Helmsman),
Denise Crosby (Romulan Commander)

Continuing the events portrayed in REUNION, the Enterprise makes its way to
the Klingon homeworld to see Gowron installed as the new emperor.  Picard,
as the chosen arbiter of succession must continue to fulfill his duty to
see that Gowron becomes the emperor and that ties with the Federation
continue.  Meanwhile, Worf speaks to Gowron requesting that Worf's family
honor be restored since it was Duras' family who betrayed the Kitomer
outpost to the Klingons.  Gowron refuses because of the influence that
Duras' family still has with the council.

Picard beams down to the planet to perform his final act as arbiter.
However, before he can properly install Gowron as the new emperor, Duras'
sisters Lursa and B'Etor produce Toral, a bastard child of Gowron, who
claims the right to succession.  The ceremony is halted until Picard may
decide if the child has a legitimate claim.

Worf, seeing the growing problems within the Klingon empire and the
possibility of a civil war if Gowron becomes emperor, talks with his
brother Kurn who is allied against Gowron.  Worf convinces Kurn to lend his
support to Gowron's forces so that the support may be used as a bargaining
edge to regain the family honor.

Picard decides that Toral is not eligible to become emperor and bestows
that title on Gowron.  This causes the council to split with some following
Gowron and some following Toral who is not only backed by the council and
those loyal to the family of Duras but by Romulans led by a mysterious
commander.

The Klingon empire is now at war.  Worf, his family honor restored, resigns
his commission as a Starfleet Officer to aide Gowron and learn what it
means to be a Klingon.  Meanwhile, the Romulans and the family of Duras
make plans that will drag the Federation into the war and to lure Picard to
his death.  

This cliffhanger episode is the finale of the fourth season and will be
concluded in the first episode of the new season.  The actor portraying the
mysterious Romulan commander is never given any credit in this episode or
in THE MIND'S EYE where she first appeared however, it is clearly Denise
Crosby.  Hopefully, in the conclusion next season, we will discover the
true identity of the commander, what her motives are and what caused her
hatred for Picard.


			       FIFTH SEASON

REDEMPTION II
Producer: David Livingston
Writer: Ronald D. Moore
Director: David Carson
Cast: Robert O'Reilly (Gowron), Tony Todd (K'Urn), Barbara March (Lursa),
Gwynyth Walsh (B'Etor), J.D. Cullum (Toral), Michael G. Hagerty (Larg),
Denise Crosby (Sela), Fran Bennett (Admiral Shauntee), Nicholas
Kepros (Movar), Timothy Carhart (Hobson), Jordan Lund (Kulge), Stephen
James Carver (Helmsman)

The premiere of the fifth season was the second part of the previous
season's cliffhanger episode.  The war between Duras' family and Gowron's
heats up and Duras appears to be winning.  They have had the help of the
Romulans commanded by Sela.  The Federation wishes to stay out of the fight
since it is an internal civil war but Picard convinces the Fleet Admiral
that the Romulans may be involved and therefore the Federation should be as
well.  Picard sets up a blockade to prevent Romulan ships from sending
supplies to Duras' forces and eventually, Duras' forces are defeated by
Gowrons.

Sela, in one of the strangest (but predictable) twists on the show, claims
to be Tasha Yar's daughter.  Since Tasha died childless in "Skin of Evil",
it seems impossible for her to have a grown up daughter much less one in a
position of command in the Romulan Empire.  For the answer, one needs to
look at the events in "Yesterday's Enterprise".  In that episode, the
Enterprise D encountered Enterprise C in an alternate history where Tasha
was still alive on the D.  At the end of the episode, she returns to the
past on the Enterprise C.  When the Enterprise D returns to its correct
history line, all memories of the encounter vanish and Tasha's existence on
the C was forgotten.  However, Tasha was captured by the Romulans when she
returned to the past on the Enterprise C and eventually married a Romulan
General and had a child by him.  Tasha was eventually executed for trying
to escape the Empire and Sela, Tasha's daughter, now has a hatred for
Picard since he sent Tasha back on the Enterprise C.  If the writers of the
show develop this further, things could get very interesting - I hope they
do.

Dathon), Ashley Judd (Ensign Lefler)

The Enterprise encounters the Tamarians, a race with whom they have never

A terrorist attack by the Bajorans on a Federation outpost prompts Admiral
Kennelly to send the Enterprise to aid the Cardassians from stopping the
terrorist attacks.  The Bajorans lost their homeworld to the Cardassians
and the terrorist attacks, led by Orta, until now had been confined to
Cardassian locales.  Solarian 4, a Federation outpost in a nearby star
system was attacked by a ship claiming to be a Bajoran ship shortly after
the Federation and the Cardassians signed a treaty.  Admiral Kennely asks
Picard to locate the terrorist's base and to bring their leader to the
Cardassian system so that peace between the two people's may be arranged.

Admiral Kennely orders Picard to take onboard ship an ensign with a less
than honorable past.  Ensign Ro had been involved in an incident where she
was responsible for the death of a landing party, courtmartialed and
imprisoned in the stockade.  Admiral Kennelly had her released because she
is Bajoran and might be of help on the mission.  But Ensign Ro has her own
orders and may be part of a Federation conspiracy.

SILICON AVATAR

The crystalline entity which destroyed the colonists at Omicron Theta III
attacks the new colony at Milona IV.  Riker and Data help the colonists
survive the attack by leading them into caves with a chemistry that the
entity apparently can't penetrate.  This is the first time that there have
been survivors of an attack and Dr. Marr is dispatched to the area to study
the planet and interview the survivors.  Dr. Marr has made it her life's
work to study the entity ever since her son was killed by the entity on
Omicron Theta III.  

The Enterprise, with Dr. Marr on board pursues the crytalline entity in the
hopes of being able to communicate with it and find a way to prevent
further destruction.  Dr. Marr seems obsessed with not only destroying the
entity but also with Data, who apparently has the memories and journal
entries of her son in his memory banks.

The Enterprise encounters a cosmic filament which disrupts all major
systems on the ship.  Most of the senior officers are trapped in different
places on the ship leaving Troi in command on the bridge.  Picard is
trapped in a turbolift with three children - winners of a science program.
Riker, Data, Worf and Keiko are trapped in ten-forward and Geordi and Dr.
Crusher are trapped in a cargo hold.  

As the crew begin to recover, they realize that they are trapped in
different areas of the ship and without any communication with other crew
members.  Each trapped group has its own major crises to overcome: Geordi
and Dr. Crusher discover a plasma fire in the hold which is giving off
radiation and the cargo in that hold explodes if it receives too much
radiation; Picard and the children need to leave the turbolift before it
begins to fall; Data and Riker try to get to the engineering section; Keiko
goes into labor in ten-forward and Worf has to act as a mid-wife with no
practical experience; the bridge crew consisting of Chief O'Brien, Ensign
Ro, Ensign Mandel and Troi attempt to re-establish power, computer
operation and a critical anti-matter containment field in the engines that
can cause the ship to explode if not stabilized.

(Wesley Crusher), Patti Yasutake (Nurse Ogawa), Diane M. Hurley (Woman)

Riker brings a highly addictive game back from vacation and everyone on
board the Enterprise becomes hooked by it, except for Data who suffers from
a mysterious malfunction.  The game apparently stimulates the pleasure
centers of the brain while also attacking the reasoning centers.  Only
Wesley, on leave from the Academy, and his new friend, Robin Lefler remain
unaddicted and it is up to them to save the crew.

Ashley Judd, who plays Wesley's love interest in this episode, is the
daughter of Naomi Judd and the sister of Winona Judd of country western

Malachi Throne (Pardek), Stephen Root (K'Vada), Graham Jarvis (Dokachin),
Norman Large (Neral), Daniel Roebuck (Jaron), Erick Avari (B'Ijik), Karen
Hensel (Admiral Shanti), Mimi Cozzens (Soup Woman)

Admiral Shanti advises Captain Picard that a Vulcan ambassador has gone to
Romulus on an unauthorized mission.  Picard sees a video picture of the
Vulcan, Spock, and his Romulan contact.  Picard travels to Vulcan
to visit Sarek to find out why Spock went to Romulan and what he hopes to
accomplish there.  Despite Sarek's illness, Picard is able to see him and
discovers that Spock has been in touch with a Romulan senator, Pardek.
Sarek asks Picard to convey his love to Spock.

Meanwhile, Geordi and Riker inspect several metal fragments recovered from
a Ferengi ship.  The fragments are remains of a Vulcan Deflector system and
the Federation wants to find out how the Ferengi got hold of them.  The
Vulcans claim to know nothing about the materials and Riker and Geordi
conclude that the equipment was stolen.

When Picard returns to the Enterprise, he summons the help of the Klingons
to get a cloaked ship for use to travel undetected to Romulus.  After
several days of unsuccessfully reaching Gowron, Picard finally gets through
and convinces Gowron to provide a vessel.  Meanwhile, intelligence reports
confirm Spock's meeting with Pardek whom Data identifies as an advocate for
peace and reunification of the Vulcans and Romulans.

While Riker and Geordi work together to discover how the Vulcan deflector
unit ended up in the hands of the Ferengi, Data and Picard disguise
themselves as Romulans and travel to Romulus on the Klingon ship.  Once
they arrive, they transport down and stop at a cafe near Pardek's office.
When they spot Pardek and attempt to approach him, they are captured by
Romulan guards.  Later, however, they discover that Pardek had them
arrested for their own protection.  As Picard briefs the senator on their
meeting, Spock suddenly appears before him.

This episode is the first episode of a two-part story which links the
events in the series to the events in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered
Country which opened at theaters about three weeks after this two-part
episode first aired.  Spock, Pardek and Sarek were key figures in the
Khitomer Conference which is one of the events depicted in the movie.

UNIFICATION II

(K'Vada), Norman Large (Neral), Daniel Roebuck (Jaron), William Bastiani
(Omag), Susan Fallender (Female Romulan), Vidal Peterson (D'Tan), Harriet
Leider (Amarie), Denise Crosby (Sela)

This episode is the second part of the story which began in Unification I.

Picard and Spock talk and Spock is initially uncooperative with Picard but
soon accepts that Picard is representing the Federation.  Picard informs
Spock that his father, Sarek, has died and conveys his love to Spock.  This
helps Spock accept Picard as an ally and tells him that his mission to
Romulus involves a plan to reunify its people with the Vulcans.
Picard naturally does not trust the Romulans and Spock does not seem to
fully trust either the Romulans or Picard.  Picard sends Data back to the
Klingon ship to attempt and access the Romulans' computer network.

Meanwhile on the Enterprise, Riker continues to investigate the theft of
the deflector unit.  He contacts Amarie, the ex-wife of a smuggler who
was killed when the Enterprise destroyed an unmarked enemy ship that tried
to interfere with the investigation.

Back on Romulus, Senator Pardek brings Picard and Spock to meet with Neral,
the Romulan Proconsul who claims to support reunification.  However,
unknown to Spock and Picard, Neral is in league with Selas who appears in
Neral's office after the Federation officers leave.  Picard is very
skeptical that Neral offered his support so readily without the support of
the Romulan traditionalists among the council.  Spock too is skeptical but
is convinced that logic dictates that it is in the Federation's best
interest to proceed whether the Romulans have an ulterior motive or not.

Amarie meanwhile puts Riker in touch with a Ferengi trader who reveals that
the Romulans are involved in the theft of Vulcan ships.  Riker contacts
Picard and informs him of what he has learned.  The two agree to rendezvous
and Riker heads towards Romulan territory.  Data, with Spock's help
accesses the Romulan computer network and discovers that Neral and Pardek
are out to double-cross them.  Picard and Data transport back to Romulus to
inform Spock and all are taken prisoner by Sela.  

Sela informs them that they plan to use the stolen ships to conquer Vulcan.
She plans to force Spock to deliver a speech announcing the approaching
ships as a peace envoy but, in fact, they will be manned by soldiers with
orders to seize control of the Vulcan government.  When Spock refuses to
cooperate, Sela shows them a holographic image of Spock, Picard and Data
which she plans to use instead to complete her plan.  When Sela leaves the
room, Data and Spock set to work on the computer system to try and find an
escape route.  They manage to send an emergency signal to the Enterprise,
which already suspects some sort of trick since they have been unable to
reach Picard.  Picard tells them of Sela's plan and the Enterprise destroys
the ships.

Sela returns to her office planning to kill Spock and Picard but instead is
tricked by holographic images giving the Federation officers the
opportunity to subdue her and escape.  Picard and Data return to the
Enterprise while Spock decides to remain on Romulus in the hope of truly
establishing peace with the Romulans.

The Enterprise heads to Bilana Three to help with historic tests of a new
propulsion method, a Soliton Wave, which would impart warp drive to a ship
without the bulky warp drive engines.  While in the sector, Worf's mother
visits the ship with Worf's son, Alexander who has been having difficulties
living on Earth.

Alexander stays on the Enterprise and enrolls in school but he appears to
be a liar, a thief and a bully.  Worf must learn to build a relationship
with Alexander and learn how to be a father.

Meanwhile, the experimental ship and Soliton Wave perform beautifully at
first but, something goes wrong - a power fluctuation causes the wave to go
out of control, destroying the test ship and damaging the Enterprise's
engines, shields and sensors.  The wave, at an unexpected energy level,
heads toward a populated colony at warp speed and, if it hits the colony
will completely destroy it.  The Enterprise must find a way to stop the
wave before it is too late.

constructed a genetically engineered society.  Unfortunately, a large
stellar mass is about to pass through that region of space and the
gravitational forces would destroy the colony.  The Enterprise must help
the colony to find a way to destroy the mass without destroying the
carefully controlled society that has been built.

This episode is mosty a retread of "For the World is Hollow, and I've
Touched the Sky" from the old series, complete with the isolated society,
the Enterprise crewmember that falls in love with the local, and the major
disaster that's about to destroy the colony unless the Enterprise can stop
it.

(Transporter Technician)

The Enterprise encounters the emergency signal of a Daedalus class ship
which disappeared in the area 200 years earlier.  Although the signal leads
to an uninhabited moon, Troi is convinced that there is someone still
alive.  Due to a magnetic storm on the moon, the Enterprise is unable to
use the transporters so Riker, Troi and Data attempt to use a shuttlecraft
to land on the moon on a rescue mission but, the craft is destroyed by the
storm.  

They are joined by O'Brien who has found a way to use the transporter for a
single beaming and to rig up a booster so they may be rescued by the
transporters.  As they are about to beam up, the storm lets loose a
lightning bolt which knocks the crew unconscious.  Riker manages to come to
long enough to activate the booster and they are all returned to the ship.

Shortly after their return, Data, Troi, and O'Brien begin to behave
strangely and they attempt to take over the ship.  When their attempted
mutiny fails, they run for ten-forward where they take hostage Keiko, Worf
and other crew members.  Picard must find a way to free the hostages, and
discover why Data, Troi and O'Brien have attempted to take over the ship.

Teleplay: Ronald J. Moore
Story: Sara Charno, Stuart Charno
Director: Chip Chalmers
Cast: Caroline Kava (Dr. Russell), Brian Bonsall (Alexander), Patti
Yasutake (Nurse Ogawa)

This aptly named episode begins with Worf becoming seriously injured by a
falling cannister in a cargo hold - seven of his vertebrae are broken.
Even in Dr. Crusher's time, this is one injury that cannot be easily mended
and Worf must face the ethical choice between an experimental procedure
proposed by Dr. Russell, a Klingon ritual suicide or living life as a
cripple.

Worf asks Riker for his assistance in committing suicide, a ritual
performed by an honorable Klingon who is irreparably injured.  Riker must
face his own ethical decision - help a friend to die by suicide, or help a
friend to live.  

Meanwhile, Dr. Crusher must find a way to deal with a doctor whose medical
judgement and practice is highly unethical.  Dr. Russell is a doctor that
is willing to test highly experimental, untested treatments on live
patients, with or without their consent, regardless of the possible results
and often without attempting more traditional treatments.  One of Dr.
Russell's experimental treatments kills a patient, even though a more
standard treatment may have saved the patient's life.  On the other hand,
Dr. Russell's experimental procedure for scanning and re-creating body
parts, may be the only thing that can save Worf.

apparently left there sometime in the past where Data was destroyed.
The crew finds traces of Triallic Waves in the cavern and traces them back
to Devidia Two where they find yet another cave - this one inhabited by
beings who are slightly out of phase with our universe.  Data assists
Geordi in building a Sub-Space distorter to align the synchronic
distortion.  As Data uses the distorter, the beings inhabiting the area use
a temporal distorter and Data is caught in the waves and sent to Earth in
the late 19th century.

time in this episode.  The Enterprise is sent to search for a research
vessel that had been exploring a strange plasma cloud and lost contact with
the Federation.  Because of ionization in the cloud, the Enterprise is
forced to link their transporter to the research vessel's in order to be
able to transport to that ship to investigate the disappearance of its
crew.  Lt. Barclay turns out to be afraid of transporters but is finally
convinced that there is "nothing to be afraid of" in the transporter.  On
his return voyage from the research vessel however, Barclay sees strange
things floating in the beam along with him and one apparently bites him on
his arm.  He then begins acting rather strangely (even for him) as the crew
of the Enterprise continue their investigation into the mystery of the
research ship and its missing crew.

The Enterprise is assigned to rescue Ambassador Alcar's and his team after
his ship was nearly destroyed by one of two sides involved in a war.
Although the Ambassador would rather travel in a transport ship to avoid
any show of military strength, the Enterprise is assigned to convey him to
the negotiations.  On board the Enterprise, Alcar's mother dies a sudden
death and Alcar asks Troi to partake in a memorial ceremony with him.

crewmember into the transporter system to await rescue.  Scotty had been on
his way to a retirement planet when his transport ship crashed on the
sphere.  The Enterprise eventually is trapped inside the Dyson sphere with
the sun about to explode and Scotty and LaForge must find a way to save the
ship using the wrecked Jenolan.

The best part of this episode was watching Scotty reminisce about events
from the old series (bonus points if you could name the episodes he
referred to) and watching him learn about the technology 75 years after his
own day as Chief Engineer.  It was also nostalgic seeing the old Enterprise
bridge again, even if it was on the holodeck.

Ro gets caught in an unknown energy field.  As the shuttle is about to
break up, they are transported off the ship but they appear on the
Enterprise's transporter pad as youngsters.  Dr. Crusher must find the
cause and a cure while the Enterprise races to rescue scientists on Ligos 7
who have sent out a distress signal.  Upon reaching the Ligos system, the

Garrett (Annie), Jorge Cervera, Jr. (Mexican Bandit)

During a brief rest while awaiting a rendezvous with another ship, several
members of the crew take the time-off to enjoy themselves or work on
special projects.  Picard attempts to learn the recorder, Dr. Crusher, with
Commander Riker work on rehearsals for a play, Geordi and Data work on an
experiment to tie Data in to the computer system, and Worf, Alexander and
Counselor Troi enjoy themselves in a holodeck adventure set in the "Ancient
West" [sic] in which Worf and Alexander are the sheriff and deputy faced
with the task of bringing Eli Hollander to justice.  Troi takes the role of
Durango, the "mysterious stranger just passing through town."

Problems ensue however, when a power flux causes part of the Enterprise
computer system to be replaced by part of Data's programming.  The part of
the computer system that's affected - the part that controls recreational
activities.  Dr. Crusher's play is replaced by Data's poetry, Picard's
music is replaced by music Data had been recently studying, Data starts
behaving oddly, and the holodeck adventure takes an unplanned, and deadly
turn.  

In this episode, ably directed by Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner plays six
additional roles besides Data.  For those playing spot the actor, Brent
replaced John Pyper Ferguson as Eli Hollander, appeared as Eli's father,
Frank, appeared as Hollander's two henchmen, and appeared at the end of the
adventure in drag as Annie; the sixth appearance was the hardest to spot -
Brent also played the man sitting in the rocker at the beginning of the
holodeck adventure.

on an experimental station orbiting Tyrus 7A has a hobby creating
mechanical robots known as exocomps.  She uses the exocomps to repair
problems on the station and believes that with a little work, they can be
used to solve a multitude of problems faced by other workers in other
applications.  The only problem is, Data believes the exocomps have become
self-aware, intelligent beings.

meets with resistance not only from the Cardassians but from Commander
Riker as well.

One of the most powerful episodes of this season, it clearly displays the
character of Captain Picard and his inner strength as well as the
relationships between him and his crew.  Patrick Stewart deserves an Emmy
nomination for his performance in this episode, among others - he's
certainly demonstrated his excellent acting ability.
