Mark Twain Keeps history's secrets
27 September 2017
The story that began with Jean-Luc Picard finding Data's detached head in a cavern near San Francisco reaches its conclusion in the concluding episode. Some aliens from the planet Davidia have been using earth as a feeding ground and the eating seems to be good around San Francisco bay.

It's quite an adventure and part of the reason is that one of the most intellectually curious people in the history Samuel Langhorne Clemens or better known as Mark Twain overhears Data and Guinan conversing and knows this is important though he reaches the wrong conclusion.

Of course the Enterprise crew defeats the aliens and time resumes its normal course. Jerry Hardin does a wonderful job as Mark Twain. You really think it is Twain.

Sad to say though that most pessimistic of men never changed his attitude despite the glimpse into the distant future that he got in this episode. It was more than a glimpse, it was a grand tour courtesy of Counselor Troi.

Still seeing Jerry Hardin as Twain makes this TNG story worth a watch.
