» Review

» Picard wanders aimlessly around the bridge like he's forgotten where he's supposed to be.

» Worf and Riker are attacked by the Green Goblin! Where's Spider-Man when you need him?

» Now Skeletor joins in! What is this, a "fight the cartoon villains" holodeck programme? Bring on Scrappy Doo!

» Picard investigates an area of blackness on the scanners. "I can't see anything," he says. Well, duh...

» The black hole swallows up two probes, so they move the Enterprise right up close to it. Obviously.

» Pulaski calls Data 'it'. Are we actually supposed to like this woman even one tiny bit? Because it's just not happening at the moment...

» They travel around in the void for what seems like an eternity.

» A Romulan ship appears. They destroy it. Gosh, that was thrilling...

» Worf and Riker visit the USS Yamato, which conveniently looks exactly the same as the Enterprise.

» The Enterprise has a power cut. Everyone gets the candles out.

» Worf starts to crack up due to the TARDIS-like properties of the Yamato's bridge.

» Troi thinks there might be 'an intelligence so vast it eluded me', which doesn't really narrow it down much.

» The alien intelligence reveals itself to be a big green face called Nagilum. Good to see they actually thought about that name, and didn't just string together a bunch of random syllables. Oh wait, they did.

» Nagilum singles out Pulaski for being a woman. Didn't notice Deanna then?

» Nagilum wants to see them have sex. Worf looks keen, but Pulaski vetoes it. That's actually quite smart of her, considering every woman Worf has sex with tends to die.

» Picard initiates the self-destruct sequence, then sits around listening to music.

» Picard pontificates about the afterlife for ages. God, just hurry up and die already!

» Nagilum lets them go, but Picard thinks it's a trick and almost gets the ship blown up in the process. The moral of the story is therefore, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".
