Summary
Stardate: 42976.1 – Riker being infected by an alien is used as the basis for a clip show.
Our Take
This is the infamous budget-saving clip show, and it plays exactly like one. Riker lies in sickbay while the camera awkwardly replays old moments, connected by a flimsy dream-logic frame that never earns any tension. Skip it unless you’re a completionist, because you’ve already seen every good scene here in its original episode.
