So which episode was it (there is more than one) and how did you like it?

**Posted by besleybean** March 9, 2016 8:39 pm

Oh right!
Well I'd definitely seen this one before and I loved it.
It's the one where Moriarty takes over the ship.

I just watched that one online (because of this thread), it's called 'Elementary, my dear Data'. Do you know the titles of the other ones, Solar? I might be interested in watching them too

I don't think I've watched an entire episode of Star Trek TNG before. I've seen a couple of the new ST movies, and possibly some of the original TV series. This episode was a bit bland, what with Moriarty turning out to be a misunderstood creature who only wants to live it's life, but I gather that's how they always ended. Still, I do like Data's version of Holmes

ukaunz, the other SH episode is called "Ship in a Bottle", it's about Moriarty's 'return' and how the crew of the Enterprise enables him to lead the life he wants to live... sort of.

Thanks Solar, I will check it out

Think I thought that's what this episode was....

Well the one I watched was Moriarty's first appearance, and he does take over the Enterprise. Then they "save" him as a program in the ships computer until such time as they can give him a "real life", which would be the other episode Solar mentioned.

Exactly, ukaunz.

Spoiler:

In the second episode - which is not really a SH episode anymore, come to think of it, apart from Moriarty - he reappears and demands to finally be able to lead a real life. In the end the crew finds a way to store him in a computer programme (without him being aware that it's just a programme and not real life) which enables him to live a whole life. And he will never know that it's not real.
