#StarTrekTheNextGeneration s4e9 (1990) - 4/10
Final Mission, teleplay by #JeriTaylor.
1️⃣ Last episode for #WilWheaton as a series regular, and a dreary and uninspired instalment it is. It fails to excite, and it fails to engage our emotions. It fails.
2️⃣ Several plot points make no sense. Why are the Captain and Wesley on such a rickety shuttlecraft? Why is the garbage scow such an insurmountable problem?

#StarTrekTheNextGeneration s4e4 (1990) - 6/10
Suddenly Human, teleplay by #JeriTaylor & #JohnWhelpley.
1️⃣ Middle-of-the-road episode. Some elements work better than others. The comedic stuff, where Picard has to adjust to living with a teenager, is too broad to land. But the simple a-story is earnest and well told.
2️⃣ #ChadAllen and #ShermanHoward are good. Knowing just how great Howard can be, from seeing him on #Superboy, one cannot help but feel that his considerable talents are wasted here.
