Star Trek: The Next Generation: Frame of Mind (1993)
Season 6, Episode 21
8/10
Frakes' Tour de Force
10 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In "Frame of Mind" Riker must identify what truly is reality when he is constantly thrown different lives: one where he's acting in a play aboard the Enterprise and one where he's in an alien insane asylum. Is he actually a Star Fleet Commander or is this all part of some insane fantasy?

Really fun Twilight Zone-esque episode here. I've seen this sort of "what is reality" sci-fi high concept idea many times before but it's fun to see it with TNG characters we know and love. Frakes is really solid for the majority but f the episode. It rides on his shoulders and he delivers.

Not super original and the effects can be a bit silly at times (like the shattered glass transition) but STL a highlight of Season 6.
