YOUTUBE - Frame of Mind | Star Trek Fans First Time Watching TNG

Good example of why Star Trek is so good. The setting of Star Trek is a great substrate for telling many stories, including those that would belong in The Twilight Zone, but instead, have a logical explanation.

Speaking of episodes that could've been better had they been later in the franchise history, this episode really reminds me of TOS' Dagger of the mind, which could have been equally very psychologically disturbing too, had it not been, you know, TOS, with Gary Stu Shatner hamming it up, a love interest subplot, etc.

Riker would always know if someone new was aboard

Like Schisms better but to me this is one of the best scariest episodes

'For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky' Now THAT'S an unforgettable episode title :)

The biggest tell it was fake was Worf took someone down

Now they need to listen to Frame of mind by darkmatera eventually

This is my favorite Riker episode. The symbolism you see after the first watch is spot on. I loved the direction because you really have a hard time understanding what is real and what is not.
