Storyline
Puzzled, the Enterprise follows an enigmatic trail of distress messages left behind by the vessel of reputed time-space-continuum researcher Dr. Paul Manheim, who dropped from sight years ago during his last experiment. His latest trial goes terribly wrong, causing a time-distorting ripple to spread from a binary star system, tapping into unimaginable energy that already affects the Enterprise crew. To prevent the galaxy being ripped open, the process must be reversed, although gravely (maybe fatally) injured Manheim can only give unreliable instructions to Data. Jean-Luc Picard is largely focused on Paul's younger wife Jenice, once Jean-Luc's fiancée, whom he dumped in Paris for his Starfleet dream. Written by KGF Vissers

Soppy, boring and self indulgent, another one of those S1 ST TNG episodes that makes me wonder, why did they bother. There was nothing appealing about this episode. Jean Luc Picard had an old flame who just happens to be on the Enterprise, so lets re-create the Paris Café scene in the holodesck, not just once but painfully twice, the only thing missing was a battalion of Nazi soldiers marching by. Maybe I missed something dramatic here, but if I take this episode for what it was, then to me, it was a clunker of an episode.
