| Number / Name | Why I liked it |
|
127 / 2:1
The child |
New faces, new places... "I'm going to have this baby." An android / birth. When to be selfish, and when not to. A jump to warp from the inside. The counselor as mother. Bartender = counselor? The crew is one big happy family. |
|
128 / 2:2
Where silence has lease |
Suicide better then being
killed. Like rats in a maze. What is death? Curiosity. |
|
129 / 2:3
Elementary, dear Data |
Our crew meets Moriarty, and 19th
century London. We learn by failing. Can an android deduce? What is life? Self-preservation. Quiet episode, intelligent solution. Politeness to a computer. |
|
130 / 2:4
The outrageous Okona |
Charisma. |
|
132 / 2:5
Loud as a whisper |
A mediator. Intellect - passion - harmony. 3 parts of a person, so a deaf/mute person needs 3 translators. Empathy/telepathy. Proud to be deaf. Focus on the common, not the differences. Turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Arrive to a conflict with no preconceived idead. |
|
131 / 2:6
The schizoid man |
Life doesn't have happy
endings. Pain is necessary. Living forever. Won't work. Android, wanting to be human. Exhibiting emotions, like love. Exorcism |
|
133 / 2:7
Unnatural selection |
Quarantine. Genetic manipulation, dangerous. |
|
134 / 2:8
A matter of honor | An
exchange program! Cultures crashing together. Klingon culture. Rather good! |
|
135 / 2:9
The measure of a man | An
old love. We must protect the unique. A farewell party for a crewmember. When the law asks people to argue against their own opinion. Slavery. Is the android property, or a person? Sentience: intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness. The right to choose. A soul. Excellent! |
|
136 / 2:10
The dauphin |
A young man falls in love, for the
first time. A harsh governess. Arrive to a conflict with no preconceived idead. Duty. Destiny. How to handle love / humor. The Klingon finds a friend, unexpectedly. Love isn't easy. |
|
137 / 2:11
Contagion | The android dies. Just kidding. |
|
138 / 2:12
The Royale |
Our crew meets the 20th
century. Logic to solve a problem. The android as a gambler. |
|
139 / 2:13
Time squared |
Duplication through time
travel. "Knowing" about a catastrophe in the near future, and trying to avoid it. The captain facing himself. |
|
140 / 2:14
The Icarus factor |
Estranged father/son. A father daring to have a woman. Forgiveness. Respect. The first officer passing up a captains chair. The Klingon lusting for celebration/violence. Feelings are important. The value of a good fight. Martial arts, with a twist. Coping with sorrow and loss. Very, very interesting. Almost perfect. |
|
141 / 2:15
Pen pals |
The value of admitting ignorance. Being in charge for the first time. P.D. Breaking it. Responsibility/authority. The philosophical - and the real. How rigid are rules? Friendship / the android. |
|
142 / 2:16
Q who? |
Treating impoliteness with
consequence. Cyborg. Don't respond to weapons. Always enemies. Collective. Ignoring what isn't a threat. Stamina. Taking a slice out of the ship - weird sight. The captain admitting weakness. Complacency needs kicking. |
|
143 / 2:17
Samaritan snare | Self-discipline. |
|
144 / 2:18
Up the long ladder |
A Klingon romantic. Our crew, and Irish farmers. Clones. A creative solution. Valuing the differences. |

145 / 2:19
Manhunt |
Humor. 1941 and our crew. |
|
146 / 2:20
The emissary |
The Klingon meets an old love. |
|
147 / 2:21
Peak performance |
The ultimate simulation. The leader picks his own team. I love Worf! Playing because the opponent is a master, and it is a privilige. Improvisation. It is possible to make no mistake, and still lose. That is life. Humor. Very good! |
|
148 / 2:22
Shades of gray |
Laughing in the face of danger and
death. Death is the ultimate test of character. Not as bad as I feared. |
