Clues

This TNG story finds the Enterprise on its usual exploration mission when the entire crew but Data faints. They are soon revived and they go about their usual business.

But gradually certain unexplained things happen and Data offers rationales that the others have come not to expect from him.

I can't say more but that the Enterprise is dealing with a situation that is a dangerous one for them and Data is sacrificing part of his programming.

This episode belongs to Brent Spiner.

"Clues" is an absolute masterpiece for all Trekkies, a classic and one of the most underestimate episode in TV History, the fact people rate this one 8.3/10 kills me, " Clues" diserved 9.2-9.3/10 at the very least and a 9.6/10 would be accurate.

This épisode got without a doubt the most fascinating plot since the start of the show. If I need to make a Friend discover Star trek, from TOS and TNG i think i would choose this one.

No need to know the characters like in " the city in the edge of forever" ( the GOAT) Clues is officially my second favorite TNG épisode as for now, " Measure of a man" still number one.

The Enterprise inadvertently travels through a wormhole while investigating a mysterious planet, knocking everybody except Data out for about 30 seconds. But evidence begins to mount that something more sinister has transpired, creating a mystery for Picard and the crew to solve.

The premise of the episode is solid, even if it will feel familiar to fans of sci-fi sitcom 'Red Dwarf'. But even a moment's thought will make the show fall apart, making the ending feel like a waste of time and ruining the episode. Which is a pity as there's some good work from the cast and it's always fun to revisit Dixon Hill on the holodeck, even if it is all too briefly.

Love it. 'What's going on ? Who are we ?' is the plot. See the brilliant actor of the imposter First Officer in my favourite episode 'The Deprogrammers' of 'The Outer Limits' also. In this STTNG episode, shouldn't we all be focussing on Deanna Troi ? Where is she, anyway ? She reads minds. In general, The Next Generation really NEGLECTED Deanna's extreme ability. It's just short of time travel. An empath can foresee the future. In general, I would have loved to see Deanna Troi plan secret mass murders in the shadows. Because, she can foresee if people try to kill her. You would expect that Deanna preempts baddies a little more often than NEVER. And then watch her hide the dead bodies. That numb non-empathic Federation doesn't need to know. And even if they find out, they couldn't judge. Federation are quite a leap behind mind readers in terms of evolution. So yeah, TNG neglected Deanna's emotion reading abilities throughout the 7 years. And now I'll add my psychology here: Because no one ever looks at Deanna to figure out what's going on. Neither in this episode. The Enterprise's entire crew has a hard reset on their memories. No one remembers who they are, and who anyone else is. Normally, you would figure out who the empaths are. 'I'm trying to kill you now ... oh, you spotted me ... well done, you're the empath here.' That doesn't happen. The real Captain Picard can play his role down, as low as he wants. But everyone instinctively looks at him. And he reads no minds. He is not an empath. But if you want to figure out what's going on, you'll look at The Picard. Very odd. And good to see it play out in this brilliant show. --- Search "Trek Greenspace" on Google Play Books and join my Star Trek Fan Project!

Pay attention to this one. Very creative plot twists. A thinking fan's episode. Reminded me of "The Sting".
