Starting with “The Best of Both Worlds Part II,” the season delivers some incredible episodes, including “Qpid,” “The Nth Degree,” “In Theory,” and “Redemption.” The writing is also especially good; from the character development of the main cast to the provocative social commentary. In Season 4, Star Trek: The Next Generation proves that it’s a powerhouse unto itself and not just a spin-off series.sion show. Distracted by the Voyager spin-off series in development and the impending Star Trek: Generations film, there’s a clear lack of focus this season that comes through in the performances and the writing. And as a result, the stories seem incredibly contrived and feel clunky. With an over-arching theme of family reconciliation, Geordi and Crusher deal with the loss of a family member, Trio, Data, and Picard discover lost relatives, and Data and Worf confront estranged siblings. The series finale however, is extraordinary and really captures the essence of the show. Season 7 of Star Trek: The Next Generation is a little uneven and shiftless, but it’s still entertaining and is full of adventure.
