December 2, 2013
I watched more episodes that I thought I would over the Thanksgiving break.I am starting to think it might be a stretch but it certainly possible to finish the series out by the end of 2013. The episodes have been better for sure but it still seems like a tall order, we will see.
Ship in a Bottle (6x12) January 24,1993
Moment of Data: Data as Sherlock Holmes, are we really back to this ?
The Rest of the episode: It is actually pretty good,other than I thought we were beyond bringing back minor episodes.Professor Moriarty is somehow real and able to walk around the ship, off the holodeck. Or Is He ???
I have decided December 10 is the line in the sand of will I go for finishing the series by the end of the year.It is December 5th and I have several entries to write, I am actually on 6x16 and it is doable to finish the season by December 10. The Question becomes do I want to give myself my an unrealistic deadline or take a break for the rest of the month.
Aquiel (6x13) February 1,1993
The episode is a mystery with no help from Data's Sherlock Holmes. It ends in another seemingly doomed romance for Geordi. It part of unraveling the mystery. of the disappearance or death of Lt. Aquiel Uhnari, Geordi listens to her logs for clues and guess what, falls in love. There is one interesting scene when a Klingon refuses to help Picard, Picard says he will ask a personal favor of Chancellor Gowron, suddenly the Klingon will help. That is why Picard is Picard.
Face of the Enemy (6x14) February 8,1993
Whoa, Troi wakes up on Romulan ship in full Romulan make up, Is it Sweeps ? Yes and another superior episode that involves spying and some great writing. I wish it was a two parter.
Tapestry (6x15) February 15,1993
Picard Dies, we discover he has an artifical heart. He is met by Q. Picard relives the events that lead to the heart and time chance the past,effect the future issues are explored. It is always good to see Q, we learn a lot of Picard at the academy.
Birthright (6x16/17) March 7,14, 1993
I have been struggle in completing this long and sometimes remarkably bad or boring series. The episode opens with the Enterprise at the space station Deep Space Nine and the introduction of Dr. Julian Bashir. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
A Klingon and an Android and lost fathers.Data resolves to take time to dream which is scary and I am glad this isn't season one. Much has been made of Worf's fathers legacy and the sin of the father being carried by the children and grandchildren. This is an effective story line, even the Data stuff.
Starship Mine (6x18) March 29,1993
Moment of Data: At the beginning of the episode Data is on a lift with Picard and engages in small talk, so he wants to learn the art of Small talk. The gag is repeated throughout the episode. This is so season one and two,it is kinda of shocking that they do this so late in the series.
The rest of the episode is brilliant. The ship is goin through a Baryon sweep and everyone has to leave the ship. Picard is given a chance to ride a horse and returns to the ship to get a saddle. He encounters terrorist who capture him and he says he is "Mr. Mott, the ships barber". Yes Patrick Stewart the action hero. Hand to Hand combat. The twists and turns are well done. The episode,minus the Data scenes becomes one of the best of the series.
Lessons (6x19) April 5,1993
Picard: A Love Story. This is a Sad,Romantic,Melodramatic. It is so well acted by Patrick Stewart and Wendy Hughes. Really everyone gave great acting performances in this episode.I was impressed reference was made to the episode where Picard lived an alternate life with wife,kids and grand kids. As every episode is basically self contained and continuity has been rare it was nice to have a past episode mentioned.
The Chase (6x20) April 26,1993
Humans,Klingons,Romulans and Cardassians all appear this episode. After ripping most of the first half of the series, I am thrilled to be writing how good this episode is. Smart and philosophical,the episode deals with issues of we are all the same.It is also a religious episode in some ways.
