Dead Men Fix No Engines (TNG S1E7)

About this episode

The episode discusses the crew's adventures involving an Uber mission and an illegal U-turn to return an alien being home.

When the Entrepreneur’s Uber mission involves helping two species squash their beef, the ship flies through a purple cloud and crew members start blacking out. But after the ship’s physician gets very interested in helm control, Picard pulls an illegal U-turn to bring an alien being back to its home. What’s the easiest way to win at golf? How are exterior shots different in this era? Is there more than one way to make a dental dam sound? It’s the episode that celebrates a moment.
