"Unification: Part One"- Season 5, Episode 7
I am slightly reworking these posts as I am finding my usual format boring and tedious. I'm going to spend less time describing the episodes and more time talking about what I like or don't like. You will have to have seen the episodes in order to understand my comments. Hopefully, this will keep things interesting.
What I liked about this episode was getting to see Picard and Data disguised as Romulans. Data's transformation was particularly good as I did not recognize him at first. It's amazing how much slantly eyebrows and a bowl hair cut can change someone's face.

 Yep, that's Data and Picard! Still not a fan of the boxy jackets, though.

 My other favorite thing about this episode was the appearance of Spock. Wooooohooooo! Granted, I'm not as big of fan of Spock as my friend but I do enjoy his character a lot. He is probably my favorite of the original series.
The thought of Spock deflecting to the Romulans is just silly and well frankly, illogical. (Don't look at me like that, you knew that was coming.) It's kind of sad that Sarek, Spock's father, dies in this episode. It's especially interesting to think that he died of a disease that let his emotions take over. Too cruel, perhaps?

Anyway, I enjoyed this episode and it's second part (this is a two parter, but I'm only going to talk about the first part). I also love episodes with cameos of beloved characters and this one did not disappoint. This was a much more politically charged episode than most others but it was still interesting.
If you have any thoughts on this episode, please share in the comments. Live long and prosper!
