6/10
Number One, on the mercy of the court
27 October 2016
Well, they can't all be winners. 'A Matter of Perspective' restages TNG as a mock trial with Commander Riker on the hook for attempted murder. What follows is a series of exhibits, cross-examinations and analysis, and that's about as dull as it sounds. There's an almost lighthearted tone in the episode's opening, having Riker loitering on the bridge (totally in the dog house) while everyone else gets down to business; and I do like the scientific use of the holodeck aside from its usual role in endangering the ship.

The episode's title is pretty succinct: it's all about changes in perspective. But it's not one of the more engaging episodes.
