Earl Grey 83: Zordon Picard

Season Six Overview.

When "Encounter at Farpoint" premiered in 1987, it was considered
the "Great Experiment" of Star Trek - could The
Original Series' "lightning in a bottle" be captured again? The
sixth season of The Next Generation began the second
"Great Experiment" - could two syndicated Star
Trek television shows successfully air at the same time?
Many TNG fans think of seasons three through six as the
epitome of the series; this specific season would feature the
return of "Scotty" (James Doohan), the memorable torture of
Captain Picard ("Chain of Command, Parts 1 and 2"), and the
return appearances of Lieutenant Reg Barclay ("Realm of Fear" and
"Ship in a Bottle"), Q ("True Q" and "Tapestry"), and the Borg,
along with Lore ("Descent, Part 1").

Daniel, Darren, and Phillip discuss how the sixth season
continued to raise the bar of TNG, with only a sparse number
of clunker episodes, like "Aquiel." From Crusher playing Quincy,
M.D. in "Suspicions," Troi taking command of Romulans in "Face of
the Enemy," and Picard making emoticons in warp corp breeches in
"Timescape," the sixth season continues to show the power
of The Next Generation. Join Earl Grey as they
travel from 19th Century San Francisco to the Ancient West as
they provide an overview of season six of Next Gen, as well
as lost crossover opportunities with the new series Deep
Space Nine.
