9/10
REVIEW 2022

Warning: Spoilers
We're charting the unusually dense, Amargosa Diaspora globular cluster. The good news is Data has a poetry reading this afternoon. I look forward to it. It seems that young Will Riker is a touch irritable. Perhaps 'Ode To Spot' will help silence the barking hell-hounds.

REM sleep deprivation, didn't we do this before? Season 4:17- Night Terrors?

Imagine that you were a sleep walker, but didn't know it. Imagine if whilst you were sleep walking you went to work and completed an 8 hour shift, but all the while you think you're dreaming. You would expect a few surreal things to pass you by as you know you're only dreaming... then you go home and go to bed, and as soon as your dream-like-head hits the pillow, your alarm goes off and you open your eyes with the feeling that you haven't been to bed yet. That would give you an idea to the flavour of this episode.

The hidden mystery does add a level of intrigue, so we're doing well. It's even a bit creepy in places. Amazing that two members of the crew can leave the ship without anyone else knowing about it.

But who is this mysterious women? We first caught sight of her smiling during Data's poetry performance.

How often does Worf get his hair cut? Since season one, I don't remember his hair ever being different.

I don't know that the aliens on this ever visited our universe again, which is a pity as there was so much more that could have been done with them. Instead, they remain a complete and utter mystery, but gave us a memorable and remarkably good episode.

This Episodes Clue: The dispersion or spread of any people from their original homeland.

(Answer's to all episode clues will appear in the reviews of season seven, episode 25: All Good Things, Part One.)
