106: '''Where No One Has Gone Before''' ''[[1987]] [[October 26]]''
This is decent stuff. The weirdness of TOS or early TNG, but without TOO much of the stupid. The Traveler is an interesting character, and his talk to Picard gives a sensible in-universe reason for Picard to start treating Wesley like a member of the crew.

How were the two guest races even in the farthest consideration for Federation membership? They were both batshit crazy, and if they were at an advanced enough stage to join the Federation wouldn't they have their own ships that could transport them to Parliament?

The planet that cloth forgot. Considering so much of this episode is about the Prime Directive, how did they get in contact with these people? They don't seem too technically advanced, and wonder if the Enterprise crew are gods for being in orbit.

Maybe it's my lack of practical starship knowledge, but I don't really get the Picard Maneuver. So a quick jump at high warp makes it briefly appear like there are two ships? The one way I can see this working is by the warp beating the light coming from the original image. HOWEVER, surely starship sensors aren't limited to detecting things at lightspeed? Also, when Riker and Data were talking about potential defenses... well, if you know it's coming in advance, what's to know? Even if the trick is played properly and there appear to be two ships, you know it's the closer and newly appeared one that's the real one.
I like that the Ferengi daimon got ousted from command due to unprofitable behavior.
