YOU ARE ACCESSING THE LCARS COMMAND INTERFACE -
THE NEXT GENERATION DATABANK
Season 3
48. Ensigns of Command -- The reclusive Sheliak Corporate
breaks its 111 year silence with the Federation to demand that Tau
Cygna V, ceded to it by treaty, be cleared of a human settlement
within three days. Data is sent to announce the evacuation to the
settlers. But he runs up against a stubborn leader who shrugs off the
unseen Sheliak's threat and won't budge despite his people's growing
qualms.
49. Evolution -- What starts out as a science project in
genetics for Wes almost dooms not only scientist Paul Stubb's lifelong
project but the ship itself.
50. Survivors -- Answering a distress call from Delta
Rana IV, the Enterprise arrives to find the planet ravaged and its
11.000 colonists dead, except for two elderly botanists, Rishon
Uxbridge and her unfriendly husband, Kevin. The two say they don't
know why they were spared death, but they refuse to be evacuated. Then
the massive ship that levelled the planet reappears.
51. Who Watches the Watchers? -- A failing reactor at a
hidden cultural observers post on Mintaka III draws the Enterprise to
that world to render assistance. Before the starship arrives, however,
the reactor explodes causing their duck blind screen to fail. But one
of the natives witnesses all of this and soon starts to believe that
their old god-legends were true after all and their Overseer is in
fact The Picard.
52. The Bonding -- A routine mission to explore the ruins
of the Koinonian civilisation ends in tragedy when a bomb left over
from that people's long war explodes, killing ship's archaeologist
Marla Asher. Now Picard and Troi must comfort her twelve-year-old son
who has already lost his father. This becomes increasingly difficult
when the boy's mother reappears and transforms the Aster's cabin into
their old home back on Earth.
53. Booby Trap -- The crew see a seldom revealed side of
Picard as the captain gleefully leads an away team to explore an
ancient Promellian battle cruiser. But the mystery behind the ship's
fate becomes all to clear when the Enterprise crew members realise
they are being trapped by the same energy draining device that snared
the Promellians.
54. The Enemy -- Answering a distress call from the
border world Galorndon Core, an Enterprise away team finds a crashed
Romulan craft and an injured survivor. La Forge loses contact with the
rest of the away team and can't be located due to the planet's severe
electrical storms. And he is soon taken hostage by a Romulan on the
surface. And to improve matters a Warbird shows up demanding the
return of its officers.
55. The Price -- Troi falls for the charismatic Devinoni
Ral a soft-spoken yet determined negotiator who comes aboard the
Enterprise to bid on an apparently stable wormhole found near Barzan
II.
56. The Vengeance Factor -- The Enterprise traces an
attack on a Federation science outpost back to the Gatherers, a
thieving band of renegades who split off from their society a hundred
years ago. The captain decides to bring an end to the raids by healing
the split between the two groups.
57. The Defector -- While fleeing his own people across
the Neutral Zone in a small scout, a low level Romulan tactical clerk
asks for asylum, bringing with him shocking news: The Romulans plan to
retake that buffer area after almost two hundred years. Can Picard
trust the defector?
58. The Hunted -- The Enterprise is relaying reports to
back up Angosi III's application to join the Federation when it
stumbles across an ugly skeleton in the planet's closet: the treatment
of its war veterans.
59. The High Ground -- While helping victims of a
terrorist bomb blast on non-aligned Rutia IV, Dr. Crusher is taken
hostage by one of the terrorists, Kyril Finn. Finn is fighting for the
independence of his people, the Ansata. This show, interestingly
enough, was and is banned in Ireland due to its delicate subject
matter and was shown severely cut on English satellite channels. And
for the first time you can actually see the normally stoic captain
belt a terrorist on the bridge.
60. Deja Q -- As if Picard didn't have enough headaches
trying to keep Bre'el IV's moon from crashing into the planet, Q shows
up, claiming to be powerless. The alien says he's been evicted by the
Q Continuum for his past mischief.
61. A Matter of Perspective -- A routine stop at a
science station is anything but that when the wife of the lone
researcher accuses Riker of having murdered her husband, who was
killed in an explosion seconds after the first officer's departure.
62. Yesterday's Enterprise -- A living ghost from the
past, The Enterprise C emerges from a temporal rift. In "real"
history, that ship answered a Klingon outpost's distress call, paving
the way for the current union of the Federation and the Klingon
Empire. The ship having missed its appointment with destiny creates an
alternate time line in which Tasha Yar is still alive and the Klingon-UFP
peace never occurred.
63. The Offspring -- Data sparks another legal row over
the status of androids when he innocently sets out to further his
creator's work. He builds a "child" whom he names Lal.
64. Sins of the Father -- The Enterprise receives a
Klingon exchange officer on board who turns out to be the younger
brother Worf never knew he had. The officer, Kurn, tells Worf their
family name is about to be shamed: their dead father, Mogh, has been
branded the traitor behind the Romulan attack at Khitomer that killed
thousands and left Worf and Kurn orphans. Worf challenges this
accusation at the risk of his life.
65. Allegiance -- Picard is kidnapped and replaced with a
double whose actions test the loyalty of the Enterprise crew.
Meanwhile, the real captain is trapped with three other hostages in a
bizarre cell and must devote his time not only to escaping but to
keeping the peace among his cell mates.
66. Captain's Holiday -- The crew needles Picard into
taking a much needed rest, but the galaxy's most reluctant vacationer
soon finds himself in the middle of an adventure the likes of which
he'd never get into aboard ship. This episode features the captain's
new interest, Vash, a brash, striking woman whom the captain falls
for.
Horga'hn.
A small Risan statuette
resembling a crude wooden carving, the Risan symbol of sexuality.
To own one was to call forth its powers and to display one was to
announce that the owner was seeking jamaharon. Riker requested that Picard bring him back
one as a souvenir when the captain visited Risa in 2366. It was Riker's
attempt to set up Picard for a sexual encounter, but Picard needed no outside
assistance in finding companionship.
67. Tin Man -- The Enterprise takes on board a Betazoid
first-contact specialist, Tam Elbrun, to establish relations with a
creature known as Tin Man, an alien life form resembling an organic
spaceship. This seems like a straightforward task, except that the
Romulans also wish to contact Tin Man, and have sent two warbirds to
carry out that assignment.
68. Hollow Pursuits -- Geordi experiences problems with
one of his engineers, Reg Barclay, a nervous, shy officer, who
retreats to the holodeck when he can't handle real life. There Geordi
discovers a host of holodeck fantasy programs ranging from the
seduction of Deanna Troi to the casting of La Forge, Data and Picard
as Three Musketeers.
69. The Most Toys -- Data is presumed lost by a shocked
crew who watch his shuttlepod blow up while returning from dealer
Kivas Fajo's ship. Saddened, his shipmates go on to their mission,
little knowing that Fajo staged the disaster so he could add Data to
his prized galaxy-wide collection of stolen one-of-a-kind artifacts.
70. Sarek -- Renowned Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan is about
to oversee the completion of his career's crowning achievement: the
establishment of relations between the Federation and the Legaran. But
while being ferried to the meeting site aboard the Enterprise, Sarek
weeps during a Mozart convert. The Vulcan has developed Bendii
syndrome a disease that can erode and aged Vulcan's emotional control.
71. Menage a Troi -- Picard and Betazoid officials have
their doubts about allowing Ferengi to take part in a biannual Betazed
trade conference. And so understandably, because as Riker and Troi are
being interrupted by Lwaxana -who wants to nag her daughter about
settling down- they are all kidnapped by a pesky love struck DaiMon
Tog who wants to use Lwaxana's telepathic skills for profit and to
make her his mate.
72. Transfigurations -- A severely injured humanoid ,
known as John Doe because of his amnesia is found in the wreckage of
an escape pod. As he recovers, John Doe is racked by fits of pain
marked by a glowing energy burst within him. He also demonstrates
incredible healing powers, but after having attempted to steal a
shuttle craft he tells Picard he knows he is a threat to the crew and
asks to leave.
73. The Best of Both Worlds -- The destruction of a
colony tells the Federation that the deadly Borg have arrived. Soon
enough the creatures appear, their immediate target being Captain
Picard himself, and then the entire Federation, starting with Earth.
