When Data&#8217;s homing beacon is activated by Dr. Noonien Soong he finally meets his father &#8212; and sees his brother Lore again. Wesley leaves the ship to enter Starfleet Academy. When civil war breaks out in the Klingon Empire, Worf leaves the ship to fight on the side of Gowron.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s another brilliant season, in which the <strong>Star Trek<\/strong> universe is expanded in terms of its societies (Klingons, Cardassians) and the types of episodes that can exist (visiting family on Earth, alien point of view).<\/p>\n<p>One more quotation: &#8220;You talk like a Ferengi.&#8221; &#8212; K&#8217;Ehleyr to Gowron<\/p>\n<p>And one more quotation: &#8220;It&#8217;s not you I hate, Cardassian.

In &#8220;Future Imperfect&#8221; Riker finds himself 16 years in the future, when he is captain and has a son. In &#8220;The Wounded&#8221; Picard pursues a Starfleet captain who has destroyed Cardassian ships even though the war is long over. In &#8220;Half a Life&#8221; a scientist named Timicin is working on saving his world&#8217;s sun, and meanwhile he and Lwaxana Troi have begun a relationship. In &#8220;The Mind&#8217;s Eye&#8221; Geordi is brainwashed by Romulans in order to kill a Klingon governor.<\/p>\n<p>One episode that was disappointing was &#8220;In Theory,&#8221; in which Data has a romantic relationship.
