My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Star Trek: The Nex Generation (Season 2)

The adventures of Captian Picard and crew continue with a season that's better than the first.  The only disappointment was the disappearnce of Beverly Crusher (medical doctor and mother of Wesley Crusher).  Katherine Pulski replaced her and while she's a good character she just can't fill Miss Crusher's shoes.  Whoopi Goldberg comes on board as the bartending listener, Guinan, of Ten Forward.  There are a lot of great episodes but the best is probably "Q Who" where Q introduces the Enterprise to the Borg.  Another great episode is Peak Performance where Riker and Picard participate in a War Game situation.  Then there's The Measure of a Man, one of the best Data episodes ever where Picard must convince a JAG officer that Data is alive and not property.  There are a few weak episodes like "The Child, "Pen Pals" and "Shades of Grey" but still a very sucessful season. Grade: A-
