#StarTrekTNG S7E01 - Descent, Part II ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With Picard, Troi Geordi captured by Lore, it's up to Riker, Worf and some unexpected allies to rescue them. Meanwhile, Doctor Crusher is in command of the Enterprise and determined to rescue the crew stuck on the planet's surface. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With a script which can't make its mind up whether emotions can or can't be positive or negative, there's a lot going on in this second part of the story but it never feels like it matters and there's never a sense of any real peril. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hugh's return is a welcome one but it only serves to underline how much this story treats the Borg as toothless cannon fodder, without malice or menace while Brent Spiner struts about hamming it up and chewing the scenery with his trademark 'evil' enunciation. There were apparently plans to return to this group of Borg later in the season or on DS9 but they came to nothing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Crusher's command of the Enterprise is actually pretty good and Gates McFadden shows she would make a pretty kick-ass Captain but her sequences are saddled with a needless side-plot about a new ensign who needs a confidence boost. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The worst thing about this damp squib of a season opener is in its final moments when Geordi convinces Data not to destroy the emotion chip, thereby ensuring that #StarTrekGenerations would be rubbish. ⭐⭐⭐ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration #descentpart2 #CraggusTrekTrekPhaseII #StarTrekTheNextGeneration #brentspiner #jonathandelarco #lore #data #theborg #hugh https://www.instagram.com/p/B6sjr3yFb0q/?igshid=j8zrl5ak9oyf
