The Russell Macklemore Experience #21
15:47-17:00=73
I remember this episode and while it can't live up to the excitement of the last episode, where Starfleet was under attack by mutated Trill, which is something that I don't think I knew until today, though that was information from a line of Star Trek Novels and not any series on tv, I'm going to accept it as canon.
But its title gives it a chance as it's The Neutral Zone and that means Romulans.
And we've known about the Romulans since the TOS.
While waiting for Picard who's been summoned to some Starbase, they find an old vehicle in space, which looks like a sattelite and Data asks to explore it and Riker says and orders Worf to go with him.
They discover people and bodies in cryogenics suspension and Data asks to take them back to the Enterprise.
Riker says yes and they are left with Dr. Crusher who cures them of the ailments that led to their deaths.
They have a cure for death in TNG. At least some forms of it because people still die, like Yar, who was killed just a couple of episodes before.
The people, two men and one woman are from the 20th Century, from a time before Khan as they didn't seem like the type to know anything of that.
One was a self-important financier, who was a bit of an ass, but still more likeable than that awful man from New York City, though he was in Real Estate. The other man was a musician and the woman was a homemaker.
As for the Romulans, who we did get to see, they were concerned about their own outposts that had been destroyed as outposts on both side of the Neutral Zone had been visited upon by some unknown force.
There was no shooting, just a grudging agreement to a proposal made by Picard that they work together to figure out what happened to their outposts.
But only only this countered the Romulan, who hated that the Federation had expanded in the decades that they had been uninvolved with the Federation.
And he was intent on making it known that they were back.
The most troublesome of the three humans was the financier who used the comm unit to bother Picard to talk with him and later on, after calming down actually making it to bridge during the confrontation with the Romulans.
I liked this episode of course, but because of a writer's strike, what was planned as a two part episode that would have seen the introduction of the Borg against the teamed up Federation and Romulans.
That would have been exciting.
But that didn't happen and we can only imagine what would have been.
So that was the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and it was pretty dang good. Far better than how I remember it being when I watched it when I was a boy.
On to the second season eh?
Just not now as I am good with one episode today and content to watch one, maybe two episodes tomorrow.
How will the second season hold up in the wake of this perspective?
Join me won't you?
