8/10
Old habits . . .

'Relics' is a fine example of a good idea done right. It's the Enterprise making new discoveries (in this case, a Dyson sphere, along with the preserved remains of Montgomery Scott), finding itself in a perilous situation, and relying o the chief engineer to work miracles. Only this time, it's a meeting of minds between Geordi and Mr. Scott.

Doohan's is a warm presence, whether he's reminiscing old war stories or waxing nostalgic on the holodeck with the original series bridge. It's a story of an old dog feeling useful again, surmounting ageism and getting the proper sendoff.

It's a great story.
