When Amanda Rogers comes aboard she thinks she&#8217;s a human but she&#8217;s really a Q. When Captain Picard leads a clandestine mission in Cardassian space he gets captured &#8212; meanwhile, Captain Jellico assumes command of the Enterprise. When Barclay examines the Sherlock Holmes program on the holodeck, he finds Professor Moriarty &#8212; who knows about the Enterprise and demands to leave the holodeck.<\/p>\n<p>The writers would always wait a few months before writing the conclusion to a season-ending cliffhanger &#8212; which sometimes worked for them, but in general is a bad idea. The season 6 and 7 part 2s are significantly less interesting than the season 4 and 5 part 2s.<\/p>\n<p>They tried some different things this season. Not all were completely successful, but every episode has something to like.<\/p>\n<p>Although we don&#8217;t see Mot the barber too often, he&#8217;s a welcome addition to the crew. My favourite poem of the season is &#8220;Ode to Spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One more quotation: &#8220;Would you like to talk about what\u2019s bothering you, or would you like to break some more furniture?&#8221; &#8212; Troi, to Worf<\/p>\n<p>In &#8220;Face of the Enemy&#8221; Deanna wakes up on board a Romulan ship &#8212; and she&#8217;s been surgically altered to look like a Romulan. In &#8220;Tapestry&#8221; Q gives Captain Picard a chance to fix a mistake he made in his youth. In the 2-part &#8220;Birthright&#8221; Data dreams and Worf finds a village where Klingons and Romulans are living together. In &#8220;Lessons&#8221; Captain Picard falls for the head of stellar cartography who shares his love of music.<\/p>\n<p>Guest stars include Jerry Hardin, Ronny Cox, and David Warner. Stephen Hawking makes a brief appearance when Data includes him in a poker game on the holodeck. The ultimate guest star, James Doohan, reprises his role of Scotty from <strong>TOS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 2nd time I&#8217;ve seen it.<\/p>\n<p>I previously reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidmswitzer.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/star-trek-the-next-generation-season-5\/\">season 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{5\/5} &#8220;Looks like Sheriff Worf&#8217;s here to arrest me.&#8221; Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6, aired in 1992-93 When the Enterprise encounters a Dyson Sphere, and a ship that crashed on it, they find someone who has been stuck in the transporter for 75 years &#8212; Montgomery Scott.
