To begin with, we have entered a massive gravitational field, Captain.
A Dyson sphere?
We are picking up a distress signal from the USS Jenolan reported missing 75 years ago. It's out here somewhere.
Tell me, why would anyone lock the pattern buffers into a diagnostic cycle? They must be mad. Who would jury-rig a transporter?
Of course, with the name James Doohan among the star-guests this always had to be a classic. Beam me up Captain Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott. Let's just sit back and watch. La Forge needs to stop hitting Scotty on his injured arm.
I almost expecting the Frank Sinatra track: 'It Was A Very Good Year' playing in the background whilst Scotty first stood alone in his quarters.
I always get a lump in my throat when Scotty enters the holodeck bridge of the Enterprise: NCC-1701... (No A, B, C, or D) and the original incidental music plays.
On these rare occasions where they integrate the feel of the original series with one of its children, it usually works very well. (DS9: Trials and Tribble-ations, for example). But of course, with that episode, the producers used an old original series episode and mixed in some new DS9 scenes. The idea of bringing back a legend of the original series and trying to write a 24th century episode with him involved was in danger of disappearing into a sentimental slurry, but instead it was a revelation. A story that had more of an original series feel to it, didn't get bogged down into mawkishness. I rate this as one of the best episodes of the TNG series so far. This would have made a much better end-of-season finale, first of new season double bill than 'Time Arrows,' but there you are.
This Episodes Clue: Kelley, Lenard,-----, Doohan (Answer's to all episode clues will appear in the reviews of season seven, episode 25: All Good Things, Part One.)
