As a gamer with over two decades of Star Trek fandom under my belt, I must say that the third season of Star Trek: Picard was a triumphant return to form for the franchise. The finale, tying with the best episode of The Next Generation according to IMDB, was a testament to the enduring appeal of the series.
Fans of Star Trek often display remarkable devotion, particularly regarding their preferred series. For instance, the following points underscore the enduring fervor for Star Trek: The Next Generation:
It’s no wonder that “The Inner Light” claimed the number one position among all seven seasons of The Next Generation. This gripping and poignant episode led Captain Picard [Patrick Stewart] on a journey across an entire lifetime on another planet, where he discovered a wife, children, and a life beyond his Starfleet role. Though this experience wasn’t genuine, it left a profound impact on Picard, who gained the skill to play the Ressikan flute. This musical instrument resurfaced in other episodes of the series.
It might be unexpected that the least favored episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation is not “Code of Honor” from season one, which many disliked, including actor Jonathan Frakes who suggested it be removed. Instead, the poorly received and low-ranked episode turns out to be “Shades of Gray” from the second season.
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode titled “Shades of Gray,” Commander Riker finds himself in a coma, battling an alien virus. To stay alive, he delves into his past through a series of recollections from earlier episodes. This type of episode typically airs later in the series, but this one was inserted at the close of season two, possibly due to cost-effectiveness. However, it received less favorable reviews compared to other lesser-watched episodes like “Code of Honor” and “Sub Rosa.
