Star Trek: The Next Generation: Time Squared (1989)
Season 2, Episode 13
7/10
Solid temporal shenanigans
5 June 2021
Enterprise encounters a shuttle with an unexpected passenger.

This is an interesting episode with a strong sci-fi concept and solid character focus on Captain Picard.

It is mainly plot driven with a great initial hook that kicks off a compelling mystery. It all unfolds in a relatively intriguing way, but ends in somewhat of an anticlimax. The sci-fi details work well as temporal anomalies always intrigue nerds like me when they appear in stories.

Picard is very much centre focus from a physical and mental perspective. It shows how much pride the character has in his leadership and sense of duty. Any sense of his own weakness or vulnerability it not met with fondly and this is quite apparent in his attitude.

The visuals are strong with the Picard effects and trick photography all working seamlessly.

Patrick Stewart gives an excellent performance and is supported well by Diana Muldaur and Marina Sirtis.
