In "We'll Always Have Paris" the Enterprise receives a distress call from a renowned scientist and his lab where the scientist has made a big breakthrough in the field of time's relationship to alter dimensions but has fallen ill. The only other survivor at this lab after a bad mishap is the wife of Dr. Manheim who also just happens to be an old flame of Picard's who he abandoned in favor of Star Fleet.
The Enterprise starts having strange time glitches and do-overs. Apparently the sick Dr. Manheim has opened up a seam to another dimension which has 1) made him sick and 2) had long stretching percussions around this corner of the galaxy. Data's understanding of the situation means he must beam down the lab and close up the seam with instructions he receives from Manheim. As Picard tries to deal with this issue, he also must deal with the skeletons in his closet regarding Jenice and what could have been in another life.
This episode was plodding and felt like one of the longest episodes of Season 1. If time truly is not constant as Data talks about, then this episode was about twice as long as some of the better Season 1 eps. The only scene I really enjoyed was Data trying to sew up the tear and 3 of him show up. Beyond that, there's not much to like. The Paris scenes on the Holodeck all look pretty bad. None of the characters really shine here. While not the worst we've seen in Season 1, it's somewhere near the bottom.
