*** This review may contain spoilers ***

ST:TNG:147 - "Frame Of Mind" (Stardate: 46778.1) - this is the 21st episode of the 6th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Continuing the grand tradition of superior writing during the 6th season, this episode concerns what reality is, what makes a person insane. While Riker is rehearsing the part of a mental patient trapped in a asylum for another of Dr. Crusher's play "Frame Of Mind", he starts experiencing paranoid sensations when he runs into a crew member that seems oddly familiar (a mysterious Lt. Suna). When he tells Troi about this, she brushes off his concerns as a side effect of getting into his mentally-charged role.

However, during his first performance, his set disappears and he finds himself imprisoned in a Tilonus mental ward, accused of murder! But what is real? Is he really insane? Find out in this highly-charged episode.

Note: GREAT use of visual effects, music, and cinematography in this episode.

Trivia: this episode stars Susanna Thompson as Inmate Jaya (she will later have a claim to fame as one of the Borg Queens in Star Trek: Voyager).
