Picard's Greatest Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode Changed Jean-Luc For The Better
Image
"The Inner Light" remains one of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) greatest Star Trek: The Next Generation stories. From "The Best of Both Worlds" to "Lower Decks," several iconic Tng episodes continue to reverberate throughout the Star Trek timeline. Not only do these episodes contain plot elements that remain relevant in the franchise today, but they also affect the USS Enterprise-d's main characters in often profound ways. "The Inner Light," for example, tells an unconventional Star Trek story in which Captain Picard lives an entire life in a matter of minutes.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5, episode 25, "The Inner Light," an energy beam from an alien probe renders Captain Picard unconscious. While the crew of the USS Enterprise-d tries to figure out how to wake their Captain, Picard experiences a lifetime of 40 years living on an alien planet as a man named Kamin. The Enterprise crew eventually learns...

Patrick Stewart's Favorite Star Trek Episode Is A Tng Classic
Image
Ask any fan of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and they'll likely agree on the five or six best episodes of the series. Few, for instance, will impugn the power of "The Best of Both Worlds", the famed episode wherein Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) is kidnapped and assimilated by the Borg, a species of unthinking machine people. Indeed, that episode became so popular, that it forced the makers of "Star Trek" back into the arms of the Borg again and again; Borg stories were being told as recently as 2023. 

Also beloved is "Tapestry", an episode where Picard dies and finds that the afterlife is overseen by the playful trickster god Q (John de Lancie). Q offers to send Picard back in time to his youth, specifically to the day before he got in a bar brawl that damaged his heart. If Picard can avoid the brawl and keep his heart from being stabbed,...

Patrick Stewart's Star Trek Romance With Donna Murphy Was Butchered In The Editing Room
Image
Throughout "Star Trek," Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) has engaged in precious few romances. Early in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," he reunited with an old flame (Michelle Phillips) in the episode "We'll Always Have Paris," and it was implied that he had a fling years earlier with a lawyer (Amanda McBroom) in "The Measure of a Man," but those relationships concluded before "Next Generation" began. Of course, Picard had a wild dalliance with Vash (Jennifer Hetrick) in "Captain's Holiday," lived out a life with his imagined wife (Margot Rose) in "The Inner Light," had a time-travel fling with a classmate (J.C. Brandy) in "Tapestry," and had a very palpable romance with Lieutenant Commander Nella Darren (Wendy Hughes) in "Lessons." 

Oh yes, and Picard was very clearly attracted to Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett), and throughout "Next Generation," Picard and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) shared a professional regard through a definite romantic undercurrent.

Why Star Trek: The Next Generation's Most Emotional Episode Holds Special Meaning For Patrick Stewart
Image
The 1992 "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Inner Light" has an intriguing sci-fi premise. While merrily soaring through the galaxy, the U.S.S. Enterprise happens upon a very ancient alien probe of unknown origin. Without warning, the probe beams a twinkling glimmer of light onto the Enterprise's bridge, striking Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) right in the brain. Picard passes out on the floor and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) is unable to revive him. Picard wakes up on a distant planet he doesn't recognize. He's wearing alien clothes and being addressed by a woman named Eline (Margot Rose) who claims to be his wife. Picard is told that his name is actually Kamin and that he has suffered a memory lapse. The "Picard" he recalls was only a dream, and he has actually always lived on this planet, Kataan. 

Picard is understandably discombobulated and begins investigating how he came...

Star Trek: The Next Generation Scrapped A Sequel To One Of Its Best Picard Plots
Image
"The Inner Light" is handily one of the best episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The events of the episode are so dramatic that it's a little unusual that Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) didn't bring them up more often in future episodes of the show. Indeed, in the third season of "Star Trek: Picard," the retired admiral mentions that he's finally ready to be a father and let the next step of his life unfold, failing to acknowledge that he already lived to be an old man, already raised his own children and grandchildren, and already fell deeply in love with an alien woman on a distant planet where he lived for many decades. Never mind that it was all a memory implant given to him by a rogue space probe. 

The events of "The Inner Light" dictated that Picard essentially has two lifetimes worth of memories crammed into his head.
