Now here's something peculiar: a TNG episode with a healthy dose of "The X-Files" mixed in. Various crew-members are suffering lapses in their own body clocks (lack of sleep, missing hours, etc.) that are all tied to the shared experiences of lying on an exam table. This starts out with a terrific sense of dread that really builds from there - a problem among the crew that worsens and suddenly deepens into an abduction scenario. The mystery here is well-handled, even if the captors are little more than crab people. But it also leaves the story on an unsettling ellipsis. Who were these beings/ and what did they want with the crew?
This seems off-kilter for The Next Generation, but it sticks with you. It's well done in that regard.
8/10
