CAPSULE REVIEW

Still regarded - rightly - as one of the jewels in The Next Generation's crown, Yesterday's Enterprise was an unexpected tour-de-force and easily the highlight of the show thus far. Plotted with more care than many of the subsequent time/space anomaly stories, Yesterday's Enterprise is by turns bewildering and exhilerating, a dark and atypical episode that finally gave the series something of which it could justifiably be proud.
