TNG Season 5


Episodes

Summary 
The fifth season of Next Generation starts off with the Federation exposing the secret Romulan-Duras plot explored in the previous season. () Ensign Ro Laren joins the crew of the , and although some members of the crew, notably Commander William T. Riker, have misgivings about her presence on board, she eventually proves herself to be a valuable crew member. () Picard has some memorable experiences, such as learning to communicate with the heretofore unintelligible Tamarians (), overcoming to some extent his dislike of children when he is trapped along with three children inside the turbolift after the Enterprise-D is struck by a quantum filament (), and meeting with Ambassador Spock on Romulus. (, ) Most notably, he experiences 40 or so years of life as an ironweaver on an extinct alien world after an encounter with a probe launched before the destruction of that world. ()

Wesley saves the Enterprise-D from an alien game which was actually a mind-control device (), but later at Starfleet Academy, he participates in a coverup of the circumstances surrounding the death of one of his classmates. Captain Picard, however, eventually convinces him to do the right thing. ()

Worf is paralyzed after an accident in a cargo bay and wishes to commit suicide, but is convinced to undergo a risky medical procedure, which, though nearly killing him, eventually allows him to regain control of his body. ()

The crew of the Enterprise-D encounter a Borg drone separated from the rest of the collective, and eventually use him as a sort of time bomb that they hope will disrupt the entire Borg Collective. ()

The season ends with the discovery of Data's head in a cave under San Francisco which had been sealed for around 500 years, and eventually with Data, Picard, La Forge, Troi, Riker, and Doctor Crusher trapped in 19th century Earth. ()
