Following its inconsistent first season,Star Trek: The Next Generationimproved somewhat in season 2, but still delivered several episodes worth skipping. Following the continuing adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his USS Enterprise-D crew, TNG season 2 began showing hints of the show's true potential. "The Measure of a Man," for example, had a profound impact on the characters while also being an amazing episode in its own right. Another excellent episode, "Q Who," introduced the Borg, laying the groundwork for some of TNG's best stories moving forward.
