Star Trek: Top 10 Underrated Next Generation Episodes

6. Rascals

rascals star trek One of the most hilariously ridiculous episodes of the show's later years, Picard, Keiko, Ro & Guinan are transformed into children in a freak transporter accident, and Picard is relieved of duty because the bridge crew is too uncomfortable around him for him to lead effectively. I didn't make any of that up. Even better, that's Picard hugging Riker right there! Anyway, in a very hilarious attempt to criminalize the Ferengi once more, a rogue group of Ferengi scavengers hijack the Enterprise and it's up to the children to save the Enterprise. Yeah. It's still a lot of fun to watch, especially Picard having a temper tantrum to see Riker, "his father." The concept is way out there and it was kind of funny to see the Ferengi as real bad guys again, even if they just came in shooting which is very uncharacteristic for them.
