51: Sarek (3.23)

Synopsis: Spock’s daddy gets Alzheimer’s.

Memory Alpha Summary: Are you crying?  There’s no crying!  There’s no crying on Vulcan!

Review:  Wesley gets a high five after scoring a major slam on Geordi.  “At least I don’t have to find my women on the holodeck!”  24th century burns are the best kind.  Then Beverly says she slapped Wesley and Deanna asks her, “What were you thinking?”  What we all were, Deanna.  What we all were.

The funny stuff aside, the confrontation scene between Picard and Sarek is pretty powerful.  The species the Federation hopes to strike a relationship with is unfortunately just a MacGuffin to serve Sarek’s appearance, but at least it’s a good one.
