Star Trek: The Next Generation: Starship Mine (1993)
Season 6, Episode 18
4/10
The writers set up possible spin-offs
31 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
With all the talk of Star Trek reboots, prequels, and sequels lately this episode suggests numerous possibilities that might give the franchise new life:

1) The Hutch & Data Show - a podcast in which commanders Data and Hutch improvise "in universe" trivia.

2) Magnum P.I.card - A TV series in which Picard is a horse riding secret agent who is never killed by the people who capture him more than once.

3) Niel the Early Years - A movie that gives us Niel's back story. What drove this pushover to join forces with thieves and steal Trilithium resin?

This episode is forgettable at best and frustrating at worst. The foundations of "movie Picard" are being laid and I hate it.
