In "Relics" the Enterprise discovers a crash-landed ship on the surface of an unidentified Dyson sphere. In the ancient ship they find a still living Scotty suspended in the transporter cycle stream. The old engineer must deal with being passed by society and technology after being missing for 75 years.
This is definitely the best use of a TOS cast member within the TNG series. After being a bit disappointed by Spock's appearance, this one really hit the spot for me. It's a smaller ep in scale and stakes but it's a great Scotty episode, probably better than anything TOS ever gave him. It's also the best episode of Season 6 after a few duds. Hopefully there will be more solid ones to come.
