Summarize An Episode Badly

Okey dokey... :D

Datalore:
Data meets his twin brother, nobody can tell them apart - in front of (or even behind) the camera.

Angel One: Soft porn with mullets (and MacGuyver's stunt double in that daring combination of 80s beige and silver spangly! Just watch the episode, you can imagine the cologne trying to render the actors unconscious in every scene...)

Haven: Troi's mommy appears, horny as ever. They're coming across a ship in quarantine due to some exotic disease, probably syphilis since the Syphi network loves airing it. Weekly guest on board this love boat has a thing for another guest on another ship tooting by. Meanwhile, Picard states he wishes he could intervene, and not because Yar's hairdo is the worst ever.

Relics: Everyone is ageist toward Scotty, who needed to slow down since 80 years brings a lot of technological changes but who could blame him for wanting to learn it all in a day? Meanwhile, the Enteprise gets trapped inside a huge sphere that will be the basis for Star Wars episode 8 because Starkiller Base is too small, never mind the Death Star.

The Game: Male crewmember checks out Wesley. Otherwise, nothing else even remotely original happens.

All Good Things: Everyone thinks they can fit into their unaltered 7 year-old uniforms and it's the one thing Q won't make jokes about, oddly...

Shades of Gray: No relation to that kinky movie of recent, where if you change the location from a mansion to a trailer park you get quite the different feel with absolutely no effort. And as far as clip shows go, I'd rather listen to the song of the same name as written by The Monkees

The Outcast: The controversial episode between the society doing eugenics and test tube babies and giving drugs to keep them from getting horny versus having two organisms swapping bodily fluids' DNA to procreate and not because of STD risk was a real intellectual masterpiece during sweeps week-- Oh, wait, they already learned their lesson on being heavy handed...

Symbiosis: Drugs are bad. Like real bad. I don't think Wesley learned the lesson, despite "The Game", so maybe he did learn. Shame my ex didn't...

Actually, IMHO, the scene is undeservedly ridiculed by viewers. Actors Denise Crosby and Wil Wheaton nail it with their delivery (though by 1:25 I'll agree it becomes a little cornball -- but until then it's sublime), and TNG season 1 was sprinkled with messages from time to time. Wesley's cadet outfit is far more annoying than any of the content the scene provided. If you want to ridicule something, try the hideous beige/spangly silver outfit that makes yet another return, yuck...

The Schizoid Man: Has no relation to the episode of more entertaining episode of "The Prisoner" bearing the same name

Legacy: Soft porn with more mullets... and fullets, complete with Ishara clearly having raided Perpugilliam Brown's wardrobe and taking the turquoise outfit, oh yeah!!

The Quality of Life: By season 6, it feels like the third or fifth rewrite of "The Measure of a Man" and about one fiftieth or three-hundredth as effective. (Yet they continue the same plot points a hundred times for the EMH in "Voyager" where it's about a millionth as effective and one quintillionth as credible.)

Suspicions: Contrived rubbish, it's more entertaining (and educational) to watch my cat puke.

Ethics: Dr Crusher believes she's torn Pulaski's stunt double a new one when, in real life, it never works out that way.
 
First Contact: Picard meets an alien and female version of a character James Cromwell once played.
 
The game: A cute new ensign shows up, to be seen only once more before disappearing forever.
Q Who: A cute new ensign shows up, to be seen only once more before disappearing forever.
The Emissary: A beautiful former love of Worf's shows up, to be seen only once more before disappearing forever.
The Schizoid Man: A beautiful Vulcan doctor shows up, to be heard of only once more before disappearing forever.

:brickwall:

8. Ferengi lost in a wormhole. We probably won't see them again .....

6. "To scared to live, and too scared to die"

3. ahhh. Dr. Crusher quits her job to explore her "family roots"
 
"Encounter at Farpoint" - A blue and pink space jellyfish want to hold each others' hands.
"The Naked Now" - Yar proves Data is fully functional.
"Code of Honor" - ... and no Lieutenant Yar!
"Home Soil" - Let's just forget "The Devil in the Dark" ever happened.
"Skin of Evil " - And no Lieutenant Yar!
"We'll Always Have Paris" - Casablanca... in space!
 
The Inner Light: Picard gets "probed". Goes through identity crisis. That bastard Kamin ignores his wife for years because he thinks he's someone else. Finally realizes he's a bastard and knocks up his wife. Wife is so overjoyed at the prospect of said knocking up that she glosses over the fact that Kamin had barely payed attention to her for YEARS.. Kamin learns flute. Makes vegetable stew. Has a daughter with an American accent and a son with a British accent. huh?? Encourages daughter to start a family even though he knows the planet is doomed.

Masks: Writers drop acid. Cast says "wtf??" at script. Enterprise turns into knick knack shop and funky alien theme park. Data goes nuts. Moon chases sun. Sun chases moon.

The Naked Now: Writer - "We need some ideas." Another writer - "I know, let's pilfer an idea from the original series. All writers - "Brilliant"
 
We'll always have Paris, the one with Picard fencing in the beginning.

"I Borg" (or whatever it's called )
Picard fences against Guinan.

Edit:
Nothing wrong with Picard and Riker's nipples.

11. Kiazi's children, their faces wet!
 
Justice - Wesley Crusher too young for casual sex, takes out his frustration on flower garden.

Booby Trap: Geordi holographically knocks boots. Picard destroys priceless archaeological artifact

The Defector: Romulan admiral gets played like a cheap violin

The Enemy: Have you seen the movie, Enemy Mine?

The Price: Lloyd Braun in space

The Hunted: Alien with PTSD outwits the Enterprise

Transfigurations: Beverly wants to knock boots with amnesiac alien. Enemy ship matches power of Enterprise so that the plot can't be that Enterprise automatically wins

Captain's Holiday: After being badgered by the crew and practically bullied by Beverly, Picard agrees to take a vacation on Risa. Picard, surrounded by limitless casual sex, reads book instead.

The Mind's Eye: While on route to Risa in a shuttle, Geordi is captured and brainwashed by Romulans. They plant a memory in his brain that he knocked boots with a Risan woman. They do this because even they know Geordi can't score.

Clues: I know who did it! Data, on the bridge, with a mind wiping device

Data's Day: Other wise known as 'This episode needs hostile aliens and explosions'

Night Terrors: All of the crew except Data and Troi hallucinate. Enterprise blows the biggest fart in Federation history
