[TNG] Contagion

[TNG] Season 2, Episode 11 (Netflix: S2 E11): Contagion

Contagion

Rating: 4  

This episode is more exciting and interesting from the start. It has the Romulans and the Iconians — a super advanced and ancient race. Ancient super advanced alien civilizations and Romulans are two of my favorite things, so naturally I’m going to love this episode.
