[TNG] Season 4, Episode 5: Remember Me
Rating: 3
“Remember Me” has a few things that push it to a 3. Mostly it does a good job of being spooky, and maintaining that simmering dread for a lot of the episode. It also focuses on Doctor Crusher in a way that is unfortunately uncommon on TNG, and McFadden shows that she’s more than capable of carrying episodes.
It’s simplistic and obvious set up is a big drawback, and Crusher’s fear of abandonment isn’t utilized as well as it could be, but we’re still giving it a 3.

Notes:
Crusher gets a visit from from an old mentor who infuriatingly has a uniform with a different shade of blue
Wesley has some experiment go wrong.
Crusher can’t find her mentor. No one’s even heard of him. O’Brien’s words say he doesn’t think Crusher is crazy, but his face disagrees.
She sees a blue light that messes up her hair
Everyone slowly disappears until it’s just Crusher and Picard.
She’s eventually all alone
the blue vortex comes back and almost sucks Crusher in
We change perspective and are shown what we already knew, that Beverly was the victim of Wesley’s experiment going wrong
The traveler shows up!
He tells Wesley to close his eyes
Crusher realizes what’s going on. She was thinking about losing people when the experiment went wrong, and this was all created by her mind or something
Wesley and The Traveler get sooo faded.
Then Crusher jumps through the vortex and it’s the end of the story.
