Earl Grey 98: It's A Family Matter

Season Seven Overview.

All good things must come to end, and so it was with the seventh
and final season of The Next Generation on television.
Daniel, Darren, and Phillip compare this final year to previous
seasons and discuss how the quality ebbed and flowed during these
final episodes. They sort through their favorite episodes like
"Pegasus," "Parallels," "Gambit, Parts 1 and 2," and "Lower
Decks," as well as "Sub Rosa"-level episodes ... like "Sub
Rosa." 

This season also serves as an ultimate family reunion for
the NCC-1701-D crew, including family members we never
knew existed, like Data's "mom" ("Inheritance"), Captain Picard's
"son" ("Bloodlines"), and Counselor Troi's sister ("Dark Page").
We also meet Worf's brother ("Homeward") and Chief Engineer La
Forge's parents ("Interface"). There are attempts to wrap up
character story lines, with Wesley turning into an energy being
("Journey's End") and Lieutenant Ro finding a new place for
herself with the Maquis ("Preemptive Strike"). The brilliant
series finale "All Good Things...", of course, ends the
continuing mission of TNG on the small screen. So put
on a mask, grab a slice of cellular peptide cake (with mint
frosting), and join Earl Grey as they discuss Next
Gen's final season.
