Synopsis: Trek’s science lesson about REM sleep.
Memory Alpha Summary: Not what R. Kelly had in mind
Review: I love how Picard sends five of his senior staff on the away mission. Five!
Unbelievably, an entire episode about REM sleep is made somewhat interesting because the science behind it is real and showing how losing REM would affect the crew is kind of fun. But the episode is nearly all talking and it plods along at an incredibly slow pace. On top of it, Troi’s flying scenes have to be one of the worst things this series ever produced. Truly terrifying.
At least Guinan gets to fire a laser gun. And Data orders Picard to go to bed.
Death By Troggles 
This is as good a place as any to assume that you have seen the Jandrewedits videos. I’m particularly fond of “A Fistful of Explosions” (also anything to do with Data’s ‘art’).
Look it up on YouTube if you’ve not seen it.
I have not seen it.
However, I personally recommend “Star Trek: The Sexed Generation” on YouTube. Not safe for work.
Those dreams were awful.
Also, that scene with Crusher and the dead bodies is creepy as all get out.
ah yes, the dead bodies. Very creepy. This episode would definitely rank higher if not for the damn dreams.
Waking Moments on ST:Voyager was a much better sleep related episode.
Don’t think I’ve reached that one yet. In fact, I haven’t watched DS9 or Voyager in about a year for some reason. I’m stuck on season 5 in one and 3 in the other.
