Star Trek: TNG: Shades Of Gray

Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe week-long national syndication window opens for the 47th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Billed as “something Star Trek has never done before” in advance publicity, the second season finale is a clip show made up primarily of “memories” from older episodes – one last blow to the series from the 1988 Writers’ Guild strike. This marks the final appearance of Diana Muldaur as Dr. Katherine Pulaski, as well as the unforgiving (and apparently spine-damaging) uniforms from the first two seasons. This is also the last episode to feature Maurice Hurley as executive producer; he hands the reins over to new executive producer Michael Piller for the third season.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Star TrekCo-written and directed by William Shatner (whose contract allows him to direct a Star Trek movie since his co-star Leonard Nimoy has done so), Star Trek V: The Final Frontier premieres in theaters to decidedly mixed reviews. This is the first movie featuring the original cast to debut during the run of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and its shaky box office performance ends Harve Bennett’s run as the creative force behind the Star Trek movies.

Star Trek: TNG: The Child

Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe week-long national syndication window opens for the 26th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, beginning the series’ second season. This episode introduces Diana Muldaur as the Enterprise’s new chief medical officer, Dr. Katherine Pulaski, and Whoopi Goldberg as Guinan. The script is actually a holdover from the aborted 1977 attempt to relaunch the original Star Trek on a Paramount network that never came together; the barely-reworked script is dug up in an attempt to get filming started as soon as possible after the end of the Writers’ Guild strike.

Star Trek: TNG: The Neutral Zone

Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe week-long national syndication window opens for the 25th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This episode marks the end of the first season (with no guarantee, due the 1988 Writers’ Guild strike, that the series will be back in production anytime soon), and the return of the Romulans to the Star Trek universe, a sign that Gene Roddenberry is relaxing his stance on revisiting elements of the original series.

Star Trek: TNG: Conspiracy

Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe week-long national syndication window opens for the 24th episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is the goriest episode of the series’ entire run; even improved make-up effects in later seasons never quite match up to this story’s exploding head and torso (graphic visuals which any network with creative input or oversight would likely have nixed). Despite ending on an obvious cliffhanger, this story is never revisited by any later episodes or spinoff series.

Star Trek: TNG: We’ll Always Have Paris

Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe week-long national syndication window opens for the 23rd episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is one of the late first season episodes most notably affected by the Writers’ Strike, as filming had to begin without a completed final draft script. Michelle Phillips guest stars.
