Star Trek TNG: Episode 159 - Phantasms

Tiny creatures are feeding on the crew, causing Data's dream program to go crazy.  .....Data's dream program??? Anyway, it was a very fun episode. Data's dream sequences were very well done and overall the directing job by Patrick Stewart was excellent. During one of Data's waking dreams he sees Troi as a giant cake and stabs her with a knife. First of all, why are they still using traditional knives on the Enterprise, secondly if a humanoid crewmember stabs another one (whether it is in an altered state or not) I'm pretty sure they would be in some kind trouble .... Nobody seems to care that Data just nearly murdered someone. Oh well, the perks of being an android.

I vaguely remember this one. Didn't Crusher use a straw to drink someones brains?? DID THAT HAPPEN!??!?!
do you think they would use future knives?

Was this the one with the train? Or something to do with a train? The seventh season just got too freakin' weird any metaphysical.

OK so, yes she does drink someone's brains with a straw. No, this isn't the episode with the train, but that one is coming up soon ... uggh I can't wait.

Season 7 is like watching a fever dream
