OK I just finished season 6. For the most part this season was fun. I have definite favourite episodes. So with that in mind onto those.
Relics
The Enterprise finds a ship crashed on the side of what looks like a Dyson Sphere. They investigate the ship and find that the transporter system has been activated into a loop for some 75 years. They unlock the transporter to find Scotty the engineer from Kirk's Enterprise who had set the transporter to loop to keep him alive.
This was a fun episode in that we got to meet an old Trek character from the old series and movies. Also sad in parts with Scotty being so many years out of date and seemingly in the way of people. I felt really bad for him.
I liked this episode. The ship Scotty was on was kind of cool looking. It was a nice episode.
Schisms
The one Trek episode that still creeps me out. Riker is having trouble sleeping and he goes to the doctor to see what is up with that, she tries to help him but the restless sleep continues. Soon other people are talking about restless sleep including Worf, Geordi, and a female crew member we haven't seen before. They approach Troi and go to the holodeck to try and piece together what they remember. Like a few other people over the years I too noticed that the ship's computer seems terribly good at abstraction, and despite how they were describing the table in their memories the computer manages to put together something that seems to really fit what they remembered despite the actual words they used to describe the object.
We soon learn that the trouble is aliens, specifically aliens from another dimension. They have been doing medical tests and experiments on the affected crew members. Beverly discovers that Riker has had his arm removed and put back on only because it's out of alignment by a very tiny amount. That freaked me out.
What gets me about this episode still is the mood, the lighting, especially on that scene on the holodeck, and those sounds, those sounds of the aliens.... Eeek because it freaks me out.
True Q
This is one of those episodes I watch but haven't really liked before, but watching it recently and in my current rewatch of the whole series I have gotten to really like this one. The Enterprise receives a new intern called Amanda Rogers and she is thrilled to be on the ship, but she soon discovers that the odd abilities she has keep manifesting more and more as she spends time on the ship. She also develops the hots for Riker. Riker however on this occasion doesn't wish to return the feelings.
Anyway turns out she's a Q. Q arrives on the ship to instruct her and then events happen that turn into a test for her to see if she can live without using her powers. She wants at first to live as a regular person without using her powers but the temptation is far too strong. So she accepts that and flies off with Q to the continuum "OK seeya bye" end episode.
It's fun episode.
The other episodes I really I really liked this time were
The Quality Of Life
Ship In A Bottle
Starship Mine
Lessons
The Chase
Now that last one is good but has huge Trek implications that I wish were dealt with somewhere. Would have made for a nice movie outing if we could revisit this. There's some huge implications in this episode. I did like that bit at the end with the Romulan commander.
