Riker loses mind, finds hidden talent
1 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It's a shame Johnathin Frakes is forever known as commander Riker, the guy can act. The journey through Riker's unconscious mind is quite engaging as he struggles to ascertain what's real and what's not. Frakes portrayal of confusion, frustration, disorientation, anger, and eventual realization are quite convincing and reason enough to enjoy this episode. The ending is a hand wave as Riker realizes he's dreaming, wakes up and beams away. A line of dialogue from Troi explains how he managed and the episode is over. Still, Frake's performance is so good that little is lost.

Very watchable.

Riker is held captive in "Ward 47".
