Star Trek: The Next Generation: Legacy (1990)
Season 4, Episode 6
5/10
The doctor learns nothing

Another hum drum unsatisfying episode with massive potential. The main thing I noticed is that Beverly Crusher's attitude about insisting on beaming down to a violent area is puzzling. She insists that she can take care of her self however she recently almost got herself and everyone else killed in a terrorist episode that recently preceded this one, the High Ground. At the end of the episode she admitted she should've listened to the captain and beamed up at the beginning. Apparently she learned no lesson that stuck.

I get in this era of longform storytelling the lack of continuity of TNG is even more frustrating than it was during its initial run.

The best part of this episode is Beth Toussaint's compelling performance and it's a shame that they had to throw her away so quickly rather than make her a recurring character .
