In "Time Squared" the Enterprise discovers a discarded shuttlepod with one passenger: Picard from 6 hours in the future. In an attempt to save the Enterprise, the captain has jettisoned himself into space to distract a sentient space tornado that's interested in him. It didn't work but it did somehow fling Picard into the past. The crew sits around wringing their hands on what course of action to take. Do they take the same path and destroy the Enterprise? They're in some kind of time loop. How can they break out?
This episode is a bizarre one. We get a scared, confused Picard with weird gray skin. I don't really understand the conclusion and why the second Picard didn't know where he was. Picard killing himself is a pretty memorable scene though.
I also like the cold open of Worf chowing down on Riker's disgusting eggs. These little scenes really do a good job of developing out these characters.
But I'm not really sure what to make out of this episode. It's a really cool premise but then we just sort of hang out waiting for the inevitable conclusion and it gets a tad boring. There's way too much Pulaski here as well...
