第2シーズンでは、Star Trek：The Next Generationは、一貫性のない第1シーズンにいくつかの強化を示しましたが、スキップできるエピソードがまだいくつかありました。キャプテンジャンルックピカード（パトリックスチュワート）とUSS Enterprise-Dに乗っている彼のクルーの旅を続けて、TNGのセカンドシーズンはシリーズの真の約束を垣間見せ始めました。 「The Measure of A Man」のようなエピソードは、キャラクターに大きな影響を与え、それ自体が例外的な分割払いとしても際立っていました。別の注目すべきエピソード「Q who」は、ボルグを紹介し、tngの最も説得力のある物語のいくつかの舞台を設定しました。
1988年の作家ギルドオブアメリカストライクの結果、スタートレック：次世代のセカンドシーズンは、シーズンあたり標準26エピソードではなく、わずか22エピソードで構成されていました。また、このストライキは、プリプロダクションの遅延を引き起こし、作家に「The Child」というタイトルのシーズンオープナーの以前の Star Trek：Phase II コンセプトからインスピレーションを引き出すことを強制しました。
「The Child」のエピソードはあまり印象的ではありませんが、セカンドシーズンの新しいシリーズフローの基礎を築き、Katherine Pulaski博士（Diana Muldaurが演じる）とGuinan（Whoopi Goldbergが描いた）を紹介します。ただし、「子供」を見ずにアクションにまっすぐジャンプしたい場合は、次の7つのエピソードを快適にスキップできます。
7。「沈黙にリースがある場所」
スタートレック：次世代シーズン2、エピソード2
「Silence Has Lease」のストーリーは、 The Next Generation のキャラクターが宇宙の謎めいた空虚につまずくようになります。 Nagilum（Earl Boen）と呼ばれる神秘的な人物が現れ、死についての好奇心を表明し、エンタープライズDクルーを被験者として研究しようとしています。 Picardは、企業の自己破壊シーケンスを開始することにより脅威を装って になり、Nagilumは最終的に船とそのチームを彼の把握から解放します。
「Silenceがリースする場所」というタイトルのエピソードは、必ずしも貧弱ではなく、いくつかの楽しい瞬間がありますが、乗組員やEnterprise-Dのミッションに関するユニークな洞察は提供されません。その支配的なエイリアンとレッドシャツの犠牲者で、この分割払いは、スタートレック：オリジナルシリーズのエピソードを思い起こさせるようです。これ自体は問題ではありませんが、簡単に忘れられやすく、安全にスキップできるエピソードにつながります。
6。「不自然な選択」
スタートレック：次世代シーズン2、エピソード7
Upon reaching the Darwin Genetic Research Station on Gagarin IV, they discover that the staff are unexpectedly succumbing to an abrupt onset of old age. The research facility houses a group of genetically advanced adolescents who seem unaffected by this mysterious ailment. Dr. Pulaski ventures in a shuttle to investigate one of these teens, but eventually catches the aging disease herself.
In the end, Star Trek: The Next Generation’s crew finds a method to employ transporters to rescue Pulaski and the station team, yet genetically enhanced children are required to live in seclusion forever after. Similar to several episodes of season 2, “Unnatural Selection” revisits concepts from the original series, resulting in an unremarkable and easily forgettable narrative. However, it does offer some engaging scenes featuring Dr. Pulaski, despite this.
5. “The Dauphin”
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 10
Wesley Crusher, portrayed by Wil Wheaton, wasn’t always the most beloved character in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” but not every episode focusing on him was skippable. However, the episode titled “The Dauphin” fails to provide much reason for viewing. In this installment, the Enterprise team encounters a future ruler of Daled IV, a young woman named Salia (played by Jaime Hubbard). Interestingly, Wesley becomes smitten with Salia, who is revealed to be a shape-shifting alien.
In simpler terms, “The Dauphin” primarily focuses on Wesley’s romantic pursuits and Salia’s protective role over him, with little to no development of the characters beyond this. The narrative does not present any fresh or intriguing insights about Wesley or other characters. While there’s nothing particularly wrong or offensive with “The Dauphin,” it’s not essential viewing as you can easily move on without missing much.
4. “Samaritan Snare”
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 17
When Captain Picard departs for a nearby Starbase to undergo heart surgery, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) finds himself grappling with a vessel of Pakleds who abduct Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), requiring his expertise to fix their malfunctioning ship. Although there is some intrigue in “Samaritan Snare,” the plot seems to depict Riker and the Enterprise crew as unnecessarily inept.
In a strange and implausible turn of events, Riker sends Geordi to the Pakled ship on his own, disregarding Counselor Deanna Troi’s concern that something was amiss. Later, during Captain Picard’s surgery, it turns out there’s no one capable of saving him at the Starbase, forcing Dr. Pulaski (originally scheduled to perform the operation) to step in. This entire sequence feels out of character and nonsensical, making “Samaritan Snare” an episode that might be best skipped over.
3. “Up the Long Ladder”
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 18
Following the less than impressive “Code of Honor” in season 1, Star Trek: The Next Generation felt compelled to release one more racially insensitive episode, paving the way for its eventual greatness. In “Up the Long Ladder,” the crew of the Enterprise encounters a group of colonists from Bringloid V, who are descendants of an ancient Earth freighter crew. These Bringloidi individuals appear as outdated caricatures, reminiscent of Irish stereotypes that have long since lost their relevance.
I found that the narrative involving another colony derived from the freighter, boasting sophisticated technology yet plagued by a limited gene pool of clones, didn’t quite align seamlessly with the main storyline. Humor was attempted but often felt awkward and uncomfortable, rather than genuinely amusing. Additionally, Riker’s behavior veered from flirtatious to somewhat inappropriate, which is definitely not the character’s strongest suit.
2. “Manhunt”
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 19
In a different perspective, Lwaxana Troi, Deanna Troi’s mother (portrayed by Majel Barrett), often receives unfair criticism, and episodes like “Manhunt” show why. The narrative primarily revolves around Lwaxana, who is experiencing a phase unique to Betazoids called “the Peak,” during which her sexual desires intensify significantly. This leads her to express interest in Captain Picard, causing him to seek refuge in the holodeck. Although it’s entertaining to witness Picard’s Dixon Hill program on the holodeck, the episode could have explored this aspect more deeply.
Later episodes of TNG and her appearances on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will show Majel Barrett transforming Lwaxana into an intriguing and compassionate character, but the episode “Manhunt” does not do her justice. The plot leads nowhere, and the Antedean ambassadors (who reveal themselves as assassins) fail to make a lasting impact. If you’re craving more of Lwaxana, I recommend watching season 4’s “Half a Life” instead of this season 2 misstep.
1. “Shades of Gray”
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2, Episode 22
In a somewhat legendary fashion, “Shades of Gray” is often regarded as one of the poorest “Star Trek” episodes ever produced. Although it may hold some truth, its most glaring flaw lies in its lack of necessity for being made. Essentially, the plot revolves around Commander Riker battling for his life, with Dr. Pulaski striving to maintain his consciousness, leading him to reminisce about past voyages on the Enterprise.
The majority of the episode’s duration consists of footage from earlier episodes due to budget constraints following expensive productions such as “Elementary, Dear Data” and “Q Who.” In essence, there seems to be no purpose behind “Shades of Gray,” and there’s little incentive for viewers to watch it. Compared to other clip shows in television history, this Star Trek: The Next Generation installment falls short on numerous aspects.
