Just about everyone involved with the show calls this the worst episode of Season 4, which is really saying something considering the last one we got. Michael Piller attributed it to everyone being off their game coming off the winter hiatus, and Les Landau straight up refused to ever speak of it again, not even sharing why. About the only one who did have a good time was Marina, who by now had learned to really appreciate scripts where she got to do more than say "I sense anger," and loved the depiction of dreams that meshed with her Greek heritage. But even she hated filming the flying scene, which immediately became a figurehead for the worst aspects of Troi's character. I remember when I was first going through the show, it was still really popular to exaggerate how drawn out her delivery of "I have to fiiiind yoooou! To teeeell yooooou!" is. The biggest shame is that the premise offers all kinds of possibilities for nightmare scenarios bound only by the crew's imagination, which it never feels like enough effort is being put toward. Thankfully, a later episode will take much better advantage of the setup. About the only worthwhile thing to come from it is one of Guinan's all time greatest moments (which is often misremembered as happening when Sarek makes everyone nuts, rather than have to acknowledge this one exists). If only they had Prince Valium to fix the whole problem off the bat.

Nice that you had Rocco for company, snoozing though he was. His heavy breathing has a sort of soothing effect, so no worries on that. Shame he didn’t do the dance with you as that would have been a lovely pick me up. Leading me to say that I’m going to start by apologizing that my energy is low to non-existent today. Knew that would likely be the case as today has been a hard, sad day for the last few years now. And I confess that I was worried that we would be tackling one of my chapter-and-verse episodes today. Thankfully, that’s not the case, and instead, we have a weird one today, so the worry about not being too insightful is gone. Ghost like fuckery abounds in this one. You say that you wished for this episode to make up for Hurley’s betrayal last episode, Geordi-wise. Good to see that that happened for you. Fair that you end the episode puzzled, science-wise. As Ryan notes, evidently, this is not a beloved episode among the cast and crew. Marina appears to be an exception of at least liking the story if not so much some of the execution, saying, “I liked the storyline of that episode because it was about the dreamworld, and I’m of Greek descent so I totally believe dreams mean something. And not the Freudian thing, all this hocus pocus. So that was another one that I could relate to really strongly. But I did hate the flying.” Another occasion where when Deanna senses shit, defenses need to be up, as you put it. Still not anywhere near as severely and obscenely traumatizing as a certain dream related episode in another much beloved show, so there is that. It is bad enough that it gets to Picard, and you ask him if he’s scared, to which the sensible response is, “Don’t be silly, I’m too frightened to be scared.” It’s very sweet how protective you got about O’Brien and Keiko. To the surprise of no one, you did not like the snakes. The snakes got you, me, and Rocco, though I knew it would get you worse, and I feel bad that it got Rocco scared as well, hope he was all right. Likewise, I knew that Picard’s mention of his grandfather would get a reaction from you, made me start crying seeing that was so. Picard mentioning that he hardly recalls his dreams. Picard is me. Love the faith and confidence in Data when he’s the sole member of the crew who’s uncompromised. Sweet how Picard gives him the keys as it were. The Worf scene does make an impression. Gets me real good how you found it the standout scene of the episode, especially when Deanna talked him down. God bless Deanna. God bless Beverly for being one of the best and having the big hand in figuring shit out, and she was one very cool customer with the one scary scene. God bless Guinan as well for not fucking around with the gun, saying, “Sit down, and shut up!” Everybody did the work and the day was saved, and it did take some time to come up with the solution as you observed. Ending with the sweet scene between Picard and Data. Glad to see you enjoyed the episode, snaky snake notwithstanding. Thank you for the reaction today, Jess. You be sure to give Rocco a hug.

Oh yikes! I forgot about the sudden appearance of snakes in this one! Not good! For me, the most spooky scene was Beverley's experience in the mortuary. Very well done, Gates. Streaming worked with no glitches this time.

Maybe Rocco could sense that this was going to be a spooky TNG episode and he decided to sit in with you during the reaction. I wear headphones when I watch your reactions, so I braced my ears when the snake scene was coming up. I knew what was coming. This episode is another personal favourite of mine from this season. I really wish Star Trek did creepy horror-style stories like this more often. The possibilities are endless with the vast emptiness of space and the hostile, Xenomorph-style aliens that they could encounter at any moment. Data once again proving why he's the MVP of this crew. I think every starship in the fleet should have at least one android bridge officer once Commander Maddox is able to successfully replicate Doctor Noonien Soong's work. Seeing Worf so broken that he abandoned his post to commit suicide was shocking. A Klingon warrior afraid to face his fears. This is a great episode to rewatch in October for the Halloween season. Thanks for another great TNG reaction, Jess. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
