The Live Long and Podcast crew revisits Season 4, Episode 8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Future Imperfect" (1990), as part of their ongoing rewatch series. During an away mission, Riker falls unconscious and awakens sixteen years in the future, now captain of the Enterprise, with no memory of the years that have passed. As the illusion unravels, he begins to suspect that nothing about this "future" is what it seems.
