5 Best Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 Episodes

2. The Neutral Zone

The Romulans return! And now they have€well, these really weird eyebrow ridges that they never had before and that Vulcans don€™t have, which is really odd, because they€™re the same species and there hasn€™t been enough time for that sort of evolution to occur. The A plot of this story (Enterprise rescues frozen dead people and revives them, and the Enterprise crew get to be really smug about how advanced they are), really isn€™t very good, though Data€™s comment about TV not lasting as a medium appears to be coming true thanksto the Internet. But the B story, with the Romulans, really is quite good. Their ship looks damn impressive and the foreshadowing with the Borg was nicely handled.
