Season 5 is one of the best TNG seasons in terms of amazing episodes. We are going to take two weeks to cover Season 5.
This week will take us about 2/3's of the way into the season.
We are going to start with one of the best episodes of TNG, Darmok.
The rest of this set of episodes also includes a bunch of minor characters:
- Introduction of a new bridge character and the expansion of what we know about a species (that will be crucial for DS9)
- The introduction of a new minor character that will be in and out of both TNG and DS9
- The visit from a familiar character.
- The return of a character that will profoundly change one of the bridge crew.
If you find this list a bit short and want to enjoy more of the first half of season 5, then also look at the following episodes:
E7 & E8 - Unification Parts 1 and 2. If you are a fan of The Old Series, you will find these enjoyable.
E11 - Hero Worship. A great Data episode.
E14 - Conundrum.
E15 - Ethics.
Enjoy!
