    Ahh yes. The episode where Picard shoots a terrorist in the leg with a crossbow, leaves another to die of their own stupidity whilst gloating about it to the Starbase, and then ends on a Mister Ed reference.

      Yep, the beginning of P-Stew’s late game “Action hero” phase.

      Don’t forget, he also removed the stabilization unit that resulted in the shuttle explosion taking out the “Hanz Gruber” type main villain.

        Oh yeah, I forgot he actively removed it. That’s what I was referencing lol. “All I know is… they won’t get very far.” All this episode was missing was a scene of Picard crawling through a jefferies tube in one of those Voyager-style tank tops.

          And he had to run barefoot across a room full of broken transparent aluminum. All the while the only person who takes him seriously is a lowley security officer to skittish to fire a phaser, talking to him through a communicator
