Star Trek: The Next Generation - Episode Guide - Season 6

In 1992, Star Trek: The Next Generation heading in to season 6 – while another show called Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was about to launch (so to speak) its initial episodes. This expansion of the ST universe resulted in a few changes for the flagship enterprise (sort of) for TNG.

Among these were definitely a more somber tone for the series in general, as well as more personal-type of storytelling, as opposed to the cosmic politics and ruling-class machinations of the Klingon civil war story arc.

Season six also plays as a bit of a “greatest hits” compilation at times. Returning to the Enterprise to take over an episode or two are Lt. Barclay, Q, Alexander Son of Worf, sentient hologram Moriarty and Klingon badass Gowron. Crossing over from Deep Space Nine is Dr. Bashir, and beaming in (literally) from the original Enterprise crew is Montgomery Scott.

1. Time's Arrow, Part II – The time-travel romp concludes in satisfying enough, though not particularly deep, fashion. The crew gets some funny bits as fish out of water in the 1890s and Lt. Commander Data saves the day while literally getting his head blown off. Minus points for Jerry Hardin’s Mark Twain, which descends into cartoonishness with a one-note, nearly shrill interpretation. ***

2. Realm of Fear – Lt. Reginald Barclay, the timidest dude ever to serve on a starship (how did this guy get through Starfleet Academy, anyway…?), is also afraid of transporters. While using one in routine fashion, he sees strange worm-like beings living in the transporter stream – or are they merely hallucinations…? ***

3. Man of the People – As a Lumerian ambassador and his posse are en route to a negotiation, said ambassador’s aged wife dies. He then gets with Troi, who begins acting wantonly and dangerously before beginning to age rapidly. **

4. Relics – Montgomery Scott of the Enterprise (repeat after me: No bloody A, B, C or D) is found within a repeating transporter signal near a crash site on a Dyson sphere. The Enterprise becomes trapped in the sphere, a ridiculous feat of engineering that houses an entire solar system in order to exploit all possible energy. Despite knowledge a century behind the times, Scotty finds his inner miracle worker once again … ***

5. Schisms – Wait a minute … an alien abduction story in a series set aboard a starship? Come on, now. *

6. True Q – Everyone’s favorite otherly-dimensional trickster is back on the Enterprise, this time revealing that a newly boarded intern is in actuality a member of the Q. And she’s hot for Wesley Crusher. This subplots may or may not be related. ***

7. Rascals – Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Ensign Ro Laren, Keiko O’Brien and Guinan are magically turned into children via a transporter accident (no, really) – and then the ship is taken by Ferengi pirates. Episodes of this sort within any TV series depend on the humor value of the cute kiddoes; there just ain’t much here. *

8. A Fistful of Datas – Some neat use of the Holodeck in this episode, plus much chance for Brent Spiner to flex the ol’ thespiary muscles for our amusement. Lt. Commander Worf, his son Alexander and Counselor Troi spend some quality time playing out a Western on the holodeck when LaForge and Data’as experiments go awry, causing the holodeck to – get this – malfunction. ****

9. The Quality of Life – Mining tools called Exocomps have become sentient, thereby inspiring Data to lead a quasi-worker’s revolution against mining interests who would exploit them. **

10. Chain of Command, Part I – This midseason 2-parter starts intriguing enough, with Picard sent on an undercover mission in Cardassian territory, but it’s the completely different concluding episode that everyone remembers. ****

11. Chain of Command, Part II – Regarded as a class, despite the extremely dark storyline and dependence mostly on a conversation between torturer and tortured reminiscent of the final act of George Orwell’s 1984. But maybe that’s what does it: Patrick Stewart and David Warner, old Royal Shakespeare Company comrades, are incredible, and the dialogue they’re given is amazing. Even when Warner’s Cardassian is explaining his culturally-relative normal belief in racism to his daughter, the viewer cannot take his/her eyes off. *****

12. Ship in a Bottle – The sentient Moriarty character again takes over the holodeck and finds a way to manipulate the Enterprise itself. A couple of neat twists, including the capping scenes, keep things interesting. ***

13. Aquiel – One of the primary rules of The Next Generation is this: LaForge Does Not Get Any. Apparently by season six, ol’ Geordi still hasn’t learned this fundamental fact and herein gets interested in the title character, who seemingly offs a traveling companion shortly after getting aboard. She’s exonerated but, when given an offer to join the Enterprise crew by LaForge, she turns him down. **

14. Face of the Enemy – Counselor Troi is given an undercover assignment aboard a Romulan vessel, but stealing the show from the go by Commander Toreth, who gets some fantastic dialogue vis-à-vis Romulan culture and what it’s like to serve the Empire. Probably the best Troi-centric episode. ****

15. Tapestry – Nearly an entire episode primarily devoted to banter between Picard and Q? Yes, please! In this episode, Q offers to help Picard correct foolish mistakes he made in the past, once again finding that any gift from Q is a double-edged sword at very best. *****

16. Birthright, Part I – Crossover episode! Well, sort of. While docked at Deep Space Nine, Dr. Bashir assists LaForge and Data in investigating a mysterious bit of hardware and Data’s “dreams.” In a parallel plot line, one Jaglom Shrek provides Worf with the location of a Romulan base where his father is held captive. ***

17. Birthright, Part II – Definitely one for Klingon fans. In the prison camp, Worf finds two generations’ worth of Klingons, including a younger generation which knows nothing of Klingon culture, traditions, bloodlust, etc. Worf teaches a bit but more importantly leads a peaceful (!) revolt against their Romulan taskmasters. ***

18. Starship Mine – An episode that’s equal parts funny and suspenseful. While attempting to escape a diplomatic meeting, Picard unwittingly stumbles upon a plot to plunder the Enterprise. Whether it’s Data developing a “small talk subroutine” or Picard outwitting the bad guys while racing against time as a deadly baryon sweep sub-atomically cleans the Enterprise, this is good stuff. ****

19. Lessons – Schmaltz reported dead ahead red alert, shields up! Picard falls for an attractive Lt. Commander who almost becomes a Red Shirt, but survives a dangerous away mission long enough to bid Picard adieu and leave the ship. Pretty pointless. *

20. The Chase – In a case of unofficial canon becoming official canon, several prominent Alpha Quadrant races, including the humans lead by an archaeology enthusiast Picard, learn something about their ancestry thanks to a stunning find. ***

21. Frame of Mind – Commander Riker’s dark head trip: Kinda like “Future Imperfect” but more mysterious and creepy. Riker cannot tell whether he’s in a play about a mental patient, *is* a mental patient and/or has awoken some 20 years in the future. ****

22. Suspicions – Dr. Crusher hosts a test demonstration of a new shield technology by a Ferengi scientist. When the first test pilot, Jo'Bril, dies due to a test flight, Dr. Crusher plays detective in hopes of clearing her friend’s name of accusations of murder. A pretty decent detective story with a clever twist or two. ***

23. Rightful Heir – At a Klingon holy site, Worf meets with a warrior resembling and claiming to be the legendary Kahless. ***

24. Second Chances – Season 6 of The Next Generation may definitely be considered the greatest season’s worth of transporter-malfunction episodes – until Voyager, when the damn things never seemed to work. In this one, a malfunction results in a duplicate Riker aboard the Enterprise, which certainly gets Troi thinking along interesting lines … *

25. Timescape – An away mission finds itself in an area of space in which time moves at varied rates in different areas. With time frozen from their perspective as an away team, Picard, Data and LaForge note what appears to be a Romulan ship firing a lethal blow at the Enterprise. A wacky time paradox sorta episode, even by ST:TNG standards. ****

26. Descent, Part I – After Stephen Hawking smokes Data, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein in a hand of holodeck poker, an away team is accosted by a guerilla army of Borg; Data, apparently feeling anger, kills one. Another attack happens in which a Borg individual manipulates Data’s emotions again. Ultimately, an away team of Picard, LaForge and Troi, in a quest for Data on an uninhabited planet, is captured by the Borg and their leader, Lore. ****

As the journey continues through the galaxy, Picard is kidnapped by a rebel alien command and Riker takes on the role of Captain to free Picard and restore the Enterprise. To Riker’s surprise, an old enemy returns and offers assistance with Picard’s rescue. All finishing with the Enterprise facing its most shocking surprise.

Summary [ ].

The season begins with the successful rescue of Data and the others from the 19th century , and we learn just how long Guinan has actually known Picard. ( TNG : " Time's Arrow, Part II ")

The crew also took part in a variety of shady operations, the first of what would be many departures from Gene Roddenberry 's more Utopian vision of the future. Picard is temporarily assigned away from the Enterprise for a dangerous espionage mission against the Cardassians , but is captured and subjected to torture , nearly succumbing before being released. ( TNG : " Chain Of Command, Part I ", " Chain Of Command, Part II ") Deanna Troi engaged in a similarly risky mission of espionage against the Romulans . ( TNG : " Face Of The Enemy ") The Enterprise also nearly became a victim of space pirates. ( TNG : " Rascals ")

Picard also underwent significant personal development during this season. He formed an intense and troubled romantic relationship with the Enterprise 's head of stellar cartography, Nella Daren . ( TNG : " Lessons ") After his artificial heart is nearly destroyed, Q helps Picard experience a vision of the unremarkable life he could have led, giving him a better understanding of his mortality and his reasons for living. ( TNG : " Tapestry ")

Riker also experiences a deeply personal conflict, making a gripping personal battle with his own sanity, ( TNG : " Frame of Mind ") and later discovers an accidental transporter-copy of himself that had been abandoned on a desolate planet for nearly a decade. ( TNG : " Second Chances ")

Several well-known recurring characters make appearances this season, the most famous among them being Montgomery Scott . The TOS Enterprise engineer is discovered alive, and after an awkward period adjusting to the 24th century, sets out to explore the galaxy on his own. ( TNG : " Relics ") The sentient hologram Professor Moriarty returns, holding the ship captive in a complex game that he hopes will grant him freedom to live outside the holodeck. ( TNG : " Ship In A Bottle ") Reginald Barclay continues to develop, overcoming his fear of transporters. ( TNG : " Realm Of Fear ") Q, in addition to his appearance in Picard's counterfactual vision, returns earlier in the season. ( TNG : " True Q ")

We are left with the rediscovery of Lore , leading a group of rogue Borg , who with the influence of an emotional stimulant for androids , successfully seduced Data to become a willing participant in his violent plans in the cliffhanger that ends the season. ( TNG : " Descent ")

Background information [ ]

• This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 1 .
• Brent Spiner and Ronald D. Moore both named this season as the best one. Moore further named " Tapestry " as one of his favorite episodes. ("Mission Overview Year Six", TNG Season 6 DVD special feature)
• This is the only season of The Next Generation not to feature Lwaxana Troi played by Majel Barrett . Her (to this point) annual appearance was made this year instead on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode " The Forsaken ". She does however still portray the voice of the Starfleet computer on both series.
• This is the only season of The Next Generation in which Wil Wheaton does not appear as Wesley Crusher . The character is briefly referenced. This is also the only season of The Next Generation where Denise Crosby does not make an appearance at all (though her only appearances during Season 2 were part of stock footage sequences).
• This is also the final season of The Next Generation in which Colm Meaney appears as his character, Miles O'Brien transfers to Deep Space 9 along with his family.
• Between seasons 5 and 6, the turbolift closest to the " pool table " in main engineering was replaced by a Jefferies tube access shaft. The turbolift doors were last seen opening, revealing a turbolift in " The First Duty ", while the Jefferies tube was first seen behind the door in " Realm Of Fear ".
• Several characters " cross over " from other Star Trek series in this season: Montgomery Scott in " Relics "; Julian Bashir and, briefly, Morn in " Birthright, Part I "; and, after a fashion, Kahless the Unforgettable in " Rightful Heir ". (The original appearance of Kahless in TOS : " The Savage Curtain " was a duplicate created by the Excalbians , while the version who appeared in " Rightful Heir " was a clone .)

To Me, Seven Of Nine Is Star Trek’s Most Impressive Character

Recasting star trek: the next generation for a movie reboot, i can't believe star trek only teamed up these 2 tng characters once.

• Picard's experience as a reclaimed Borg in TNG paved the way for Seven of Nine.
• Crusher and Data's efforts to save Picard provided knowledge to save Seven.
• Seven and Picard's friendship in Picard makes sense due to shared Borg assimilation trauma.

Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) was able to be reclaimed from the Borg thanks to Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) on Star Trek: The Next Generation . After their introduction in TNG, t h e Borg became one of Star Trek's most frightening villains. With their structure of drones within a hive mind, the Borg could not be reasoned with and they constantly adapted to new technology. Throughout TNG, the second live-action Star Trek s how , Captain Picard and his crew learned more about the Borg, and the cybernetic drones later became major antagonists on Star Trek: Voyager .

As Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the USS Voyager traveled through the Delta Quadrant on their way back home, they encountered the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson) and numerous Borg ships. To safely travel through Borg space, Captain Janeway formed a temporary alliance with the Collective, and Seven of Nine was sent aboard Voyager to help develop a weapon to fight Species 8472. When the Borg broke the alliance and attempted to assimilate Voyager, Janeway permanently severed Seven from the Collective. The Doctor (Robert Picardo) then removed most of Seven's cybernetic implants.

Although the Star Trek franchise is full of great characters, Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine has become one of the most impressive since her introduction.

Picard As A Reclaimed Borg In Star Trek: TNG Made Seven Of Nine Possible

Picard & hugh walked so that seven could run..

In the iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter, "The Best of Both Worlds," the original Borg Collective captured and assimilated Captain Picard. As Locutus, Picard served as the mouthpiece for the Borg, delivering the message that "resistance is futile" to the entire Federation. In command of the Enterprise, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) sent a team to rescue Picard from the Borg cube. Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) then worked together to save Picard, severing him from the collective and removing his cybernetic implants.

If Crusher and Data had not figured out how to save Picard, Voyager's crew would not have known how to save Seven of Nine. The Enterprise crew learned more about reclaiming Borg drones when they encountered Hugh (Jonathan Del Arco) in TNG season 5, episode 23, "I, Borg." After being severed from the Collective, Hugh began to develop a sense of individuality.

With help from Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) and others among the Enterprise crew, Hugh learned that resistance was not, in fact, futile. Thanks to Picard and Hugh, the Enterprise gained information that Janeway and the Doctor later used to save Seven of Nine.

Seven Of Nine & Jean-Luc Becoming Friends In Star Trek: Picard Made Perfect Sense

Very few people can say they survived borg assimilation..

As both Picard and Seven shared the unique experience of being assimilated by the Borg, their friendship in Star Trek: Picard makes perfect sense. Seven may have been a part of the Collective for much longer than Jean-Luc, but she remains one of the few people who could understand the most traumatic experience of Picard's life. By the time of Star Trek: Picard , Jean-Luc has become disillusioned with Starfleet as an organization, although he still believes in its mission. Seven, too, felt abandoned by Starfleet when they denied her a commission after Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant.

Seven and Picard had bonded over their similar past traumas and developed mutual respect as they worked together to save the galaxy.

After the events of Picard season 2 , Picard used his still-considerable sway with Starfleet to grant Seven a field commission. She later officially joined Starfleet as First Officer aboard the USS Titan as Commander. Seven and Picard had bonded over their similar past traumas and developed mutual respect as they worked together to save the galaxy. When Picard boarded the Titan under false pretenses in Picard season 3, Seven helped him despite the risk to her career. Jean-Luc Picard and Seven of Nine will always be two of Star Trek's most iconic characters, and their friendship just makes sense.

• Trivia Almost everyone in the cast became life-long friends. At LeVar Burton 's 1992 wedding, Brent Spiner served as best man, and Sir Patrick Stewart , Jonathan Frakes , and Michael Dorn all served as ushers. Man of the People (1992) (#6.3) aired on that day.
• Goofs It is claimed that Data can't use contractions (Can't, Isn't, Don't, etc) yet there are several instances throughout the series where he does. One of the first such examples is heard in Encounter at Farpoint (1987) , where Data uses the word "Can't" while the Enterprise is being chased by Q's "ship".

Capt. Picard : Engage!

• Crazy credits The model of the Enterprise used in the opening credits is so detailed, a tiny figure can be seen walking past a window just before the vessel jumps to warp speed.
• Alternate versions From 2012-2014, to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of TNG, CBS/Paramount decided to remaster the series in High Definition. This would involve rebuilding the show from the ground up using new HD scans of the original camera negatives, including the numerous VFX elements. Under the supervision of Mike and Denise Okuda, the series has been reborn for a new generation.
