Star Trek: Every Two-Parter Ranked From WORST To BEST

39. Gambit, Part I, Gambit, Part II

'Sacrificing' Captain Picard as merely another pawn in the illicit affairs of the galaxy was a bold move. Naturally, he was never dead in the first place.

The rest of the two-parter wasn't quite as sound, though it was still a lot of fun. The bad guy was as weak as his method of coercion. The bad girl — played by none other than Robin Curtis — was far more entertaining than the 'Stone of Gol' she sought.

That device — a 'psionic resonator' from ancient Vulcan, before the 'Time of Awakening' — was also as odd as Gambit's freeze-frame cliffhanger, the poor man's, The Best of Both Worlds. This was the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Its fourth and fifth episodes could and should have been a lot better. Then again, they could have been Masks.
