Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 25: Conspiracy (1987) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What struck me as being the good thing about this episode was that they set it up several episodes before hand, when an Admiral makes an offhand remark to Picard that he wants to talk to him about a new threat to the Federation. In this episode, he waves it off, but the destruction of a Federation Star ship, plus the Admiral beating Riker uncounscious, shows that something is amiss.
Another thing that I noticed, from my limited experience with the Original Series, is that as we go on, Starfleet seems less and less invincible. This episode shows that they can be infiltrated by small things; 'Best of Both Worlds' showed they can get whipped; and the end seasons of DS9 showed that Starfleet could go to war and kick hard. But what i didn't like was that they set up, at the end, the possibility that something else was coming, but they didn't follow through. I may be wrong (if I am, let me know) but nothign ever came of what could have been a great plot line.
