Earl Grey 74: Philip and Darren on the Ocean

Season Five Overview.

The Next Generation peaked during its fifth season,
featuring its highest viewer ratings and the long-anticipated
return of a main cast member from the originalStar Trek. The
season begins by completing the Klingon and Romulan-focused
two-parter "Redemption," and then covers new ground with a
metaphor-speaking alien species ("Darmok"), the introduction of a
new featured character ("Ensign Ro"), and a multi-story episode
in "Disaster." Fans of both Star Trek generations
finally received their wish with the return of Spock to the
television screen in the two-parter "Unification." 

This was unfortunately the same year that Star
Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died. However his legacy lived
on in season five as it sought new perspectives on
established TNG characters with the returns of Lwaxana
Troi ("Cost of Living"), Wesley Crusher ("The Game" and "First
Duty"), and the Borg ("I, Borg"). Captain Jean-Luc Picard was
faced with one of his greatest challenges in the critically
acclaimed "The Inner Light," while the season ended with
fan-debated episode "Time's Arrow, Part 1." Join Daniel Proulx,
Darren Moser, and Phillip Gilfus as they put on their brand new
captain's jackets and examine the fifth season of Star Trek:
The Next Generation.
