The Next Generation THE OUTRAGEOUS OKONA 2×04

The Enterprise comes across a cargo ship with quite an unusual… and very charming… Captain… Riker may have some competition.

Honestly, nothing really happens in this episode. But, we get to see Whoopi Goldberg and Terri Hatcher. Oh, and Joe Piscopo. William O. Campbell does a good job as Thandiun Okona.

I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to.

The Next Generation ELEMENTARY, DEAR DATA 2×03

I’ve been waiting to do this one. Data as Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck? Yes, please. Geordi is Watson and Pulaski gets kidnapped.

They spend nearly the entire episode in 19th century holodeck London, and that works out just fine. There are some excellent performances from Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, and Daniel Davis.

The Next Generation WHERE SILENCE HAS LEASE 2×02

The last episode was correct, we’re now in the Morgana.. sector… please stop using “sector”. Anyway, the Enterprise comes across a “hole in space’.

Earl Boen from the first three Terminator movies is in this, another NOT Miles O’Brien, a pretty cool holodeck sequence with Riker and Worf… and I did some math with parsecs.

The Next Generation THE CHILD 2×01

We’re now into season two and the Enterprise is transporting a lethal “plasma plague”. Counselor Troi is pregnant. Wait, what?

There is all kinds of new stuff going on. Worf and Geordi have been promoted. Doc Crusher is gone and Riker has a beard. We get to see Whoopi Goldberg and Colm Meaney in this show.
