Synopsis: Worf laughs for the first time in his life, while Picard allows his bartender to send a bunch of people to die.
Memory Alpha Summary: And Tasha comes back and gets to die with dignity this time (or not).
Review: It’s really tough to review this episode because every single second is packed with brilliance. Superb job making the warship feel like a warship. I only regret we missed Wesley getting decapitated, which was cut due to budget reasons. That would have certainly topped Remmick in the awesomely gory (and satisfying) death department.
I do like how Captain Garrett so readily accepts she’s now in the future. In a lot of television, when characters are faced with a fantastic story like this, they immediately reject it over and over and over until someone beats them so hard with evidence that they finally relent. Garrett, aware that time travel is possible, quickly correlates all of the information and deducts that Picard is likely telling her the truth. A seemingly small touch but loads important when it comes to my annoyance meter.

I honestly thought you might have this at number one. Fantastic episode – this is right about where I’d have it in my list.
I’ve had it as high as #3 in the past. Even though having Yar back was fun, Crosby’s acting doesn’t help any of the scenes she is in. Stewart, of course, steals every scene he’s in.
Never saw it until a couple years ago, and then I only joined part way into the episode wondering WTF was going on. Had to look it up afterwards.
I think what’s remarkable about this one is that usually we follow the characters through the rift, who tend to be more aware of the effects their travel caused, not the characters changed by the rift and unaware of the effects. It’s disorienting, but cool.
Huh, yeah never thought of that. I guess the Star Trek VIII: First Contact would be a good example.
This is probably my favorite episode. Well this one and the one where the enterprise keeps blowing up. I saw it last night for the first time in a while so was interested in seeing where it was rated. Excellent all around except for Tosh’s acting. Woof.
