i be watch the series back to back as fast a possible . i be attempt to watch all thing star trek . this be month 3 and i be now on season 3 of tng and i have already go thru ds9 in it entirety . star trek be the great television phenomenon ever achieve . shade of grey be the first recap episode in the tng series . have just watch the show and these clip be fresh in my mind and but i notice how a couple of them be re shot because the film look well . season 1 always seem real dark and ugly to me and the actor look silly and like they do not fit in their own skin . the show be essentially just make of up a great hit of the happiest and sad moment in riker life on the enterprise up until this point . the data and riker scene in the holo deck be a classic moment of new friendship . my other favorite be when the 2nd officer on the klingon ship challenge riker authority a first officer and riker beat the living crap out of that klingon . then the admiral kick his a $ $ but good . this entire episode be a heck of a reminder that a lot of crazy and great thing have happen already in a mere 2 season with 5 more to go and a handful of movie . at this point in the series they be really start to develop the emotion that tie riker to deanna troi a imzadi . up until this point they have mention the fact and but they have yet to exploit it . let the record show that the st wiki memory alpha claim that imzadi mean first and denote that she have have intimate relation with riker and also remain deeply close on an emotional one . this episode far prove there will be a tense romantic interest in each other for a long time to come . here be the article represent http represent or or memory alpha . org or en or wiki or imzadi by this point in the series and production value be up to speed and star trek tng be settle into the sci fi behemoth it be destine to become . watch this again a an adult i see now what great actors the star trek universe provide . they really need to make a new st show set after all the current show . a ds9 movie would have be nice too .
