It's the worst episode of TNG, and in contention for the worst in all of Trek.
Funny that one of the others in the contention is "These Are The Voyages..." which is, bafflingly, also a Riker episode

Did they really end season 2 with a Riker clip show?

How embarrassing.

For context, that episode was made during the writer's strike at the time, so that's what an episode without writers looks like.

Season 3 is off to a decent start. Who Watches the Watchers was indeed great.

Deja Q was a lovely episode. It was very lighthearted but also heartwarming, especially when Q let Data feel joy for a few seconds.

And it was nice seeing the origin of Picards iconic facepalm.

A few episodes left in season 3. The hype for this show makes sense now.

Almost every episode in this season has been great - basically the inverse of season 1 which was consistently meh. Really hoping it keeps up this quality in the remaining seasons.

Starting Menage a Troi now.

I did a double take when I found out that the guy who played the villain in the most toys was Donnie from the later seasons of Frasier.

Also did a triple take when Data had a Mega Man 7 moment and was about to murk the collector.

The Best of Both Worlds/Family was a fantastic three-parter. Riker was actually compelling in the first part, having passed on multiple captaincies and then being forced into one by the end. And Picards interactions with his brother putting the Borg into perspective and humanizing him.

My favorite stretch of episodes so far.

Fun fact about Locutus. The effects guy found this little one inch laser pointer and stuck it on Patrick Stewart's head. That dinky little prop is what made that cool effect when he stares into the camera. It was said that it would have cost thousands to deliberately get that effect, they just did it by accident.

Speaking of Locutus, was there a reason Picard got a unique Borg name? Do all assimilated people get new Borg names?

Borg get "names." Seven over on Voyager is actually designated Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01.

I think it makes sense that Picard received a unique designation since he had a unique role.

There was a line that was something like, the human race responds to authority figures, so we want Picard as our voice.

So yeah, I guess its that simple.

@au_gold Sorry but I have got to disagree with you wholeheartedly on that comment. Night Terrors was GRADE A SHIT!

"Ooh look lets have have Troi Supermaning her way through a green hydrogen gas cloud!""One Moon circles"! Oh shut up.

Dire episode that makes no sense..

Oh, I agree those scenes were stupid.

I was more referring to the horror atmosphere in the first half. Picard thinking hes hearing knocking, Riker having hallucinations, Crusher seeing corpses sit up in the morgue, etc. It was cool when it all seemed paranormal.

It reminded me of the season 2 episode Where Silence Has Lease. Creepy supernatural atmosphere for the first half, then the scientific explanation makes everything fall flat.

Night Terrors never really felt like it quite lived up to its title. The scene with the corpses in the morgue was the only scene I can recall being unnerving.

It gets a bonus point for the scene with Guinan and her gun, though.

Yeah, I was hoping for darker stuff like Picard and Riker turning on each other. Lots of wasted potential, but I still appreciated the possibly supernatural feel of it.

Night Terrors is one of those weird episodes where periodically I become convinced that I like it, until I sit down for a rewatch and I'm left thinking "Oh yeah, this is bobbins, I remember now..."

This is a true story for you.

I have rewatched The Original Series and The Next Generation so many times since I first started watching Star Trek 1986 that if I am given a good part of the episode I can tell you which episode it is in about 10 seconds! I am not kidding about that.

Well one time I went over to my ex-mates house and he put on the TV and found TNG on. I took one quick look at it went "oh it is Night Terrors". His jaw litterally hit the floor when he put up the synopsis banner and saw I was right. I told him not to bother with that crap.

@DuranOfForcena

If you like Barclay, you might want to watch Voyager after you're finished with DS9. He's in the last two seasons of that a lot.

Crusher seeing corpses sit up in the morgue

Seriously one of the most creepy and disturbing scenes I saw as a kid, and my dad let me watch zombie movies with him. I love that episode, I'm a little surprised to see all the hate for it.

Anyway, love me some TNG. Enjoy!

Man, I thought I'd read something about Barclay being in that show beyond that one episode with the hologram version of him or whatever that was

Yes.

One episode is not on Voyager at all and is just him at work and going to counseling with Troi.

I loved the bit in that where Geordi was sitting there strumming away on his Lute, Worf gets up, snatches it off him and smashes it against a tree.

Gates McFadden and Marina Sirtis were apparently kind of amused by that episode. They were the only members of the cast to actually be trained in sword fighting, but they were also the ones that didn't use swords.
