 : '''A Matter of Perspective''' ''[[1990]] [[February 12]]''
+So the "prosecution"'s case rested on Riker firing a phaser as he was being beamed out. Soooo wouldn't the records indicating he arrived on the Enterprise without a phaser and in a normal standing position blow a giant hole in this theory?
+I always liked the concept of the holodeck simulation being so perfect that it was unintentionally generating Krieger waves in conjunction with the equipment on the planet.

 : '''Yesterday's Enterprise''' ''[[1990]] [[February 19]]''
+I like some of the little touches that differentiate the alternate timeline, like that even the door sound effect is different.
+Worth noting that Captain Picard is old enough to be one of the few people on the Enterprise who would have most of his life be the same in both timelines.

 : '''Allegiance''' ''[[1990]] [[March 26]]''
+Both halves of this episode are fun. Another "advanced alien tests us" story for Picard, who thinks his way out of the problem. And a duplicate Picard story that's fun because usually character replacements suck so much--either they act crazily out of character, or don't know things they should know. In this case, it's a very good copy of Picard--but it's too outgoing for the crew to buy that nothing is going on with their reticent captain!

 : '''Captain's Holiday''' ''[[1990]] [[April 2]]''
+Before he was Rom, [[Max Grodénchik]]'s Ferengi in this episode somehow comes off like... an old racist Chinese villain?

 : '''Tin Man''' ''[[1990]] [[April 23]]''
+They talk about Tam measuring high in ESP ratings. I don't think anything like this has come up since [[Star Trek: The Original Series|Where No Man Has Gone Before]] in the early TOS days, though then it was esper ratings for humans.
+The outcome of this episode was too obvious about a third of the way in.
+Gomtuu's crew died from radiation. They must've had Rimmer repairing the drive plate.

 : '''Hollow Pursuits''' ''[[1990]] [[April 30]]''
+I love Broccoli.

 : '''The Most Toys''' ''[[1990]] [[May 7]]''
+With as talented as Data is, I find it hard to believe he couldn't escape. Yes, Kajafalava has that positron-mangler so Data can't grab him, but what prevented him from using the guy's lady friend the first time she comes alone? Or less violently just running out the door when she's leaving--he's no slowpoke.
+Also, again we have a situation where Counselor Troi's big ability amounts to squat. When Data's shuttle explodes and they talk to Favakajova, why isn't she saying, "Captain, he's full of shit and hiding an extreme excitement."?

 : '''Transfigurations''' ''[[1990]] [[June 4]]''
+Alright. Dude evolved into... dude in a luminescent body sock.
+This episode is unusual in that it seems to take place over a month, though most of the time is skipped by.

 : '''The Best of Both Worlds''' ''[[1990]] [[June 18]]''
+A horrible enemy is on our doorstep sooner than we feared. We must check out this planet they attacked... but it's almost dark, so let's waste half a day for the planet to rotate, since we haven't invented artificial lights yet in the 24th century.
+It's funny how there's so much pressure for Riker to move on after a massive '''3''' years in his current position. A lot of other people on Star Trek go longer without significant promotion, and at this point Picard has been ranked Captain... well, longer than Riker has been an officer, I think? And he will continue at that rank for at least another decade canonically--and even longer non-canonically as he resists attempts to promote him to Admiral in the novels.
