A singular episode of Trek, a powerful hour of TV, and completely emphatic, empathetic, and accessible science fiction. If you were only going to give Star Trek one and only one look, make it this one.

S2E7 -  Mariner and Boimler are stranded on an uninhabited planet with a sentient computer. On the Cerritos, Lt. Commander Billups must prove his engineering abilities to an old adversary.

We talk about Bette Midler, Whoopi Goldberg, how many Data's there are and more!
