Star Trek TNG: Episode 168 - Lower Decks

"While enduring the Enterprise's promotion evaluation process, four junior officers find themselves involved in a top-secret mission."


This episode almost seems like a spin-off attempt. It is so heavily focused on these four officers that we do not even know. Basically one of them is going to get a promotion so they are all vying for that spot. For some reason Picard sends one of then (Silo Jax?) on a secret mission. Seems rather strange, but whatever. Anyway, she dies.

The episode was pretty good actually, and evidently it is an influential episode to future sci-fi TV writers...so I have read ....and I don't really see why.

This was a fun episode, made all the more notable because that actress who died was super cute.

I totally agree...I just looked her up and she appeared on like four shows and that's it.
