REVIEW 2022
29 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Nervala IV in the hopes of retrieving scientific data which was left there by Starfleet researchers when they were forced to evacuate the planet eight years ago. Is that Earth years? Jazz in 10-forward. Entertainment is never up to much in 10-forward.

Mirror Mirror on the wall... Certainly a surprise but as they only have 26 minutes during the current window in which to retrieve the data, surely any awkward questions can wait.

What I don't understand is why Deanna is so reluctant to get involved with Me-2. If they had something going-on once, why can't they again? Technically, this is not the same Me-2. His experiences over the past eight years would mean that he has shaped-up differently from Me-1. It's not as though Deanna is getting a lot of attention and when you consider what a Betazoid women will go through when they reach maturity, isn't it wise for her to maximise her options. Her only real concern is whether Me-2 decides to follow the exact same career path as his Enterprise double.

This episode is designed to examine the failed relationship between Deanna and Riker that has been hinted at throughout the entire run of the TNG series. For my own personal tastes, this is the kind of episode that has me turning my attention away from the screen and musing on other matters. But I would agree that this episode is necessary if only to resolve the Troi-Riker love thang.

This Episodes Clue: Sam Bobrick, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Dustin Diamond
