[TNG] Booby Trap

[TNG] Season 3, Episode 6: Booby Trap

Booby Trap

Rating: 2

I like the premise of Enterprise falling into an old trap left over from a war, and I like Picard throughout the episode. There are some silly parts involving Geordi’s love life, and a good part of the episode is taken up by working through a problem that is mostly techno-babble.
