Parallels

This episode felt as if they were using themes from at least a few episodes and rehashing them again as far as a "temporal rift" goes. There was so much "tech speak/jargon, that I was getting lost, and I

started not caring after a while. Their solution to helping Worf just sounded contrived and quick to help finish up the episode. The lack of originality was off-putting.

Another day, another time crisis episode. While I've heard complaints over the years about the abundance of these sorts of stories on Star Trek, I've ever had that problem with them, at least as far as TNG is concerned. They usually go together pretty well.

Turns out it's a good hook for a Worf episode, primarily because it's the ship's resident tough-guy who's slipping between different realities. It's actually kinda scary when a Klingon battle cruiser shows up and your tactical officer is drawing a blank. The camera tricks and editing keep you on your toes, and the story keeps shifting. Even the cast flickers in and out, with Wesley showing up on the bridge at one point. Overall, it's an entertaining one.

7/10

This is works in the spirit of the story. The only other episode that feels close is the last episode: All Good Things.

I love Star Trek, especially Next Gen but this episode is the epitome of horrible pseudoscience.

I know enough about physics to absolutely confirm that the idea of parallel universes is the stupidest ever. I can understand why some laypeople like this concept: its a nice fantasy to think that every choice that you make that could happen, has happened in a different universe. You never lost your childhood pet dog, you asked that handsome man for a date and never shied away, you followed your dream and became a dentist - of course that all happened somewhere - face palm!

But what I don't understand is how can so-called scientists believe this crap and try to publicize it. If you know a little bit about physics you will know that there is no where is quantum mechanics that tells us that every "choice" we make can actually happens and leads to parallel universe. What happened before humans made choices? are there parallel universes for cats, and spiders when they make choises? and the biggest problem is; DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH ENERGY IS NEEDED TO CREATE A WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE WHEN YOU MAKE A CHOICE?!!!

Totally absurd. Scientists, stop this madness, now.

The 2 stars is just because I love Data, in any universe.

This TNG story concerns Michael Dorn returning from a Batleth tournament when he travels through a locus point where many universes cnnverge. Things are not asd Lt.Worf remembers them.

When the crack really widens we see a few hundred Enterprises out there each with a different story to tell. Quite a sight even on the small screen.

Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis are a married couple in one of those realities. Patrick Steart was killed by the Borg in another.

Michael Dorn is one confused Klingon, but it all; works out
