In this episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation Revisited, James and Andrew tackle “We’ll Always Have Paris,” an installment that promised a fascinating sci-fi premise but somehow veers into soap opera territory. This story could’ve offered intriguing exploration into time loops and quantum physics, but instead, it becomes entangled in Captain Picard’s unresolved romantic past with Dr. Jenice Manheim. While Picard’s vulnerability is refreshing to see, James and Andrew question whether the execution hits the mark or simply distracts from more engaging themes that Star Trek has handled better in other time-centric episodes.

Tune in as they dissect what went wrong, how it could have lived up to its potential, and where it ranks among TNG’s other time loop adventures. Grab your tea, Earl Grey, hot—this one’s a journey through missed chances in the final frontier!
