Star Trek TNG: Episode 50 - Evolution

"In this episode, escaped nanites threaten the Federation Starfleet starship USS Enterprise as well as its critical research mission."

Finally, Bev Crusher is back! Good riddence to that decrepit scarecrow Pulaski. While season two ended with a huge thud, season three starts off with only a slight thud. I sort of liked this one. Wesley's science experiment gets out of control when a a shitload of nano sixed beings escape. Data is finally able to establish contact with the creatures and work everything out. But anyway, good riddence once again to that human boglin Doctor Pulaski.

With the start of the third season, this is where the show actually turns good. Perhaps it's even where the show straight up stops being a huge piece of shit.

There are some good episodes in the first couple seasons, but from season 3 onward (until the finale season anyway), even the bad episodes aren't really that bad.

Thank christ. I can't wait to watch actual non shit.

This was back when nanites were still kind of cool, before they went all prime time and became the hand-waving explanation for everything that happens in science-fiction and, in particular, comic books.

Very good point
