*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
The writers strike plagued second season of this show produced some bad episodes like 'Shades Of Gray', and a few of them were drafts taken from the abandoned Star Trek II series in the '70s. But this little gem of an episode sees the sister ship of the USS Enterprise, the USS Yamato, destroyed by a systems failure within the first five minutes of the episode. When the Enterprise starts malfunctioning the crew believes it to be a design flaw. An assumption quickly forgotten when they realize that the download from the Yamato contains a computer virus. They are also plagued by a Romulan Warbird which is monitoring them. Funnily, the Romulans had tapped into the Yamato's download and are now having similar problems aboard ship! Picard, Data and Worf beam down to what they believe is Iconia, the planet the Yamato had been investigating and Data is infected! Worf gets Data back to the Enterprise through the Iconian portal, discovered on the planet. Geordi looks over Data and is unable to prevent his death. After a few minutes of dormancy Data sits up and looks around with a puzzled look on his face! His body had just repaired itself. Geordi realizes that it was a simple case of rebooting and uses the same technique on the ship. The Romulans are told how to restore their systems and the two ships depart. Brilliant stuff.
