And there were some truly terrible episodes in this season, including Sub Rosa (Crusher has sex with a ghost), Masks (just an excuse for Brent SPiner to flex his acting chops), Genesis (the crew de-evolves into amphibians and spiders), and Emergence (the ship is alive!).


We see the return of Ro Laren in her final episode (How would DS9 have looked with her instead of Kira), Wesley twice (alternate reality in one episode, and his send-off in another), and Tasha Yar and O'Brien (in the finale).


Great guest stars as always, including Terry O'Quinn and Mark Rolston and Paul Sorvino. A few episodes that were mostly okay but blew the ending, like Attached (Crusher and Picard are tethered together, and in the end she pushes him away).


But also some great episodes, including what is probably the finest Lwaxana episode in "Dark Page," the alternate realities of "Paralells" (where Worf and Troi went on their first date), one of the finest episodes in any of the Star Treks in "Lower Decks," and a great finale seeing the return of Q, Yar, and O'Brien, and one of the best scenes to ever end a TV show imo.

This is the thing though...its just timeless.

Season 7 of TNG is over 30 years old and I can still go back and watch every episode and love it all over again.

Appreciate the cheese, embrace the lazy writing, all of it. I just love it.
