Star Trek: The Next Generation: Reunion
$16.00
As a consequence of one of them ascending the Daa'Vit throne, several members of Captain Picard's former crew aboard the Stargazer are on the Enterprise and traveling to the coronation. The Daa' Vit and Klingon Empires had been at war for some time before the interjection of the Federation caused a cessation of hostilities. Despite the years of peace, the hostility remains and it is very difficult for the Klingon Worf and the Daa' Vit Morgen to occupy the same room. All of their instincts are to fight to the death, yet Morgen is a Captain in Starfleet and a close friend of Picard so both of them must bury their instincts and learn to tolerate each other.
That tolerance must quickly be turned into a working relationship, as there is an assassin on board the Enterprise that is determine to kill Morgen. The assassin is extremely competent in the technical sense, able to reprogram a holodeck into a killing machine as well as reprogramming food synthesizers and also extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The situation is made even worse by the Enterprise inadvertently entering a subspace slipstream that moves them along at warp 9.5 and seems impenetrable. A secondary subplot is the effort that Dr. Crusher must make to keep her dead husband from her thoughts, for Jack Crusher served on the Stargazer and was killed rescuing the ship.
The action is fast, furious and consistent with the usual actions of the Next Generation crew. All perform admirably, Worf is the gruff Klingon that puts duty over personal feelings, Geordi is a miracle worker in engineering and Riker manages to woo and bed a female. Picard's former shipmates prove to be quite talkative to the point of insubordination yet in general they are all appealing, their conversations are much more open and honest, something that the Enterprise crew cannot do given their positions. Of course, the Enterprise is saved, the assassin discovered and disarmed and Morgen ascends the throne and galactic peace is preserved.
Some of the best stories are those where you know the literary destination beforehand yet the path there is so engaging that the foreknowledge is rendered irrelevant. This is one such story.

Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 157: Gambit, Part 2 [VHS]
$14.95
While the Enterprise crew has had to deal with the loss of their beloved Captain and now the kidnapping of their first officer, Commander Data is acting captain of the Enterprise. In a not-so-easy-to-forget scene, Data must confront Worf about insubordination and put the honor-bound Klingon in his place, putting their friendship to the test. Worf has grown weary of Data's seeming lack of concern and delay in acting upon leads that would help them recover Riker, but Worf learns to trust the electronic captain. Worf proves instrumental to confronting a renegade Klingon ship when Data's overly polite queries are fruitless.

Meanwhile, Picard is alive, but not so well, aboard the mercenary ship. He uses the identity of a supposed smuggler, Galen, to protect himself against Baran as he would likely kill him if he new who he really was. Picard's familiarity with Romulan artifacts and archeology and anthropology in general are his saving grace, as Baran loathes him and plans on eliminating him as soon as he finds whatever it is he's looking for.

Picard makes bold gestures of dislike for Riker so that Baran will grow fond of Riker by default, following the maxim, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." The Romulan aboard, Tellara, reveals to Galen she is actually an undercover Vulcan named T'Pal - is this supposed to be the same T'Pal from "Star Trek: Enterprise," or is this just a common Vulcan name like "Judy"? Who knows? Picard reciprocates by letting the Vulcan operative know his true identity as well so they can coordinate a mutiny. T'Pal reveals to Picard that Baran is seeking the mythical Stone of Gol - a powerful psionic resonator that is the ultimate weapon from Vulcan's dark, violent past.

Riker and Picard continue to stealthly plan their gambit against Baran as they travel from one archeological site to another, plundering the seemingly worthless artifacts in an attempt to find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Baran gives Riker a test of loyalty by ordering him to attack Galen on their away mission to steal an artifact from the Enterprise as their Klingon contact has been taken aboard under the guise of performing "Health and Safety" inspections aboard the Klingon's tiny ship.

Troi, Crusher, Worf & Data show off their best Poker faces as Picard and Riker come storming through the Enterprise with their rag-tag group of galactic thieves, weighing both relief, shock, surprise and utter confusion as the dead comes running in, phasers blazing. A fun ending to this interesting two-parter.
