Remember Me

I liked this episode quite a bit. Gates McFadden gives a tour de force, as Crusher gets sucked into a warp bubble, and creates a new reality based on her own thoughts.

Watch Dr. Crusher descend into madness, as her world narrows, and gets weirder and weirder. McFadden truly does a great job with the material that she is given, and shows she's capable of leading an episode on her own.

However, the episode was way too forced for my comfort. We later find the real culprit of this new reality, but to be honest, the payoff was very disappointing in my opinion. Still, this is a very decent episode. My only wish was that the stakes were much higher,

For a bit I thought we were going to see a TNGversion of The Lady Vanishes/ But this story involving one of Wesley Crusher's experiments is a good deal more complex than that.

Gates McFadden greets an old friend and medical Bill IIrwin. The next day he plain vanishes and then others vanish until there's only Dr. Crusher left.

Not saying what s happening but an old friend of Wil Wheaton has to klend a helping hand to get the Enterprise to ts proper reality.

Gates McFadden owns his episode.

He is not a mere wunderkind anymore, no. He is, in fact, the next step of human evolution.

In the mean time, Star Trek is slowly turning into an experiment of how little effort from one single character can ruin an entire franchise. And with every bit of this obnoxious nonsense they are getting closer and closer to their goal.

Was there no one around to slap Roddenberry in the face!? With the truth, of course...

Here we have the proof that the Force exists in Star Trek. All the mumbo-jumbo spouted by the traveler could have been said by Yoda or Obi-Wan. Once again we see that Wesley is the Chosen One.

Shortly after welcoming her mentor on board, Dr. Crusher notices that he's disappeared and no one else remembers him being on the ship. Soon, Dr. Crusher witnesses more people disappearing and no one can remember them, and a strange vortex is trying to suck her to who-knows-where, possibly to where all the other forgotten people have gone.

The first time I saw this, I was enthralled the whole time. Fortunately, that was before individual episodes were listed on IMDb and before I got a Netflix subscription. In both instances, the mystery of the first two-thirds of the episode is ruined by the description. Though, for those of us who got to see it without knowing what's actually happening, it has a very special place.
