(6.02) Realm of Fear
When the U.S.S. Enterprise encounters another starship, the U.S.S. Yosemite, trapped in a plasma streamer, a young engineer named Reginald Barclay comes up with a plan to reach the vessel. The crew adopts his plan, but Barclay balks when he realizes that the crew wants him to join them as part of the Away Team. Deathly afraid of the transporting process, he backs out at the last minute, leaving the rest of the Away Team to transport to the fire-marred Yosemite. There, they find that one dead body is the only sign of humanity, and they also notice several fragments of a broken sample container. Later, emboldened by a session with Troi, Barclay is able to rejoin the Away Team just in time to transport back. Each member returns to the Enterprise without incident except Barclay, who encounters a sinister-looking creature while in molecular form.
Back on board the Enterprise, Barclay is genuinely shaken by what he has seen. Geordi has O'Brien run a full diagnostic on the transporter, but the tests show nothing unusual. Barclay is able to relax, but becomes even more unnerved when his arm begins to radiate light in the precise spot where the creature touched him. Meanwhile, in Sickbay, Beverly performs an autopsy on the Yosemite crew member and is shocked as each of the dead man's systems briefly and separately come to life, one after the other.
Beverly's examination reveals that the crew member was killed when his body was invaded with high-energy plasma. Geordi, Data and Barclay realize that the plasma was brought inside the ship in the sample container that was fragmented, and that the plasma somehow exploded. The three try to determine why the explosion occurred, but Barclay is unable to concentrate, still shaken by what he saw on his arm. Geordi reports Barclay's condition to Troi, who immediately relieves him of his official duties. Late that night, Barclay returns to his room to sleep, but is unable to do so when his arm begins glowing again — this time all the way up to his shoulder. Sure that something must be hidden in the transporter, he summons O'Brien to help him find it.
O'Brien transports Barclay to the Yosemite and back, and Barclay encounters the creature during the trip. Sure of what he has seen, he wakes the senior staff to tell them, and while Picard is skeptical at first, he authorizes an in-depth investigation. Beverly examines Barclay and finds that he has been exposed to the same plasma that killed the Yosemite crew member.
Data and Geordi discover that the plasma particles are actually life forms, and that some of those life forms are inside Barclay. Thus Barclay must confront his greatest fear - of being dematerialized and permanently lost in molecular limbo. During the transport, however, Barclay encounters the creature again. Instead of panicking, he takes its hand and brings it back to the ship with him. When they arrive, everyone is shocked to see that it is a human being — one of the crew members from the Yosemite. The crew rescues the two other crewmen trapped in molecular limbo, and Barclay, having beaten his fear, emerges as a hero.

Deze week en ook volgende week komt er geen TNG op BBC 2. Het lijkt er verdacht veel op dat de BBC er helemaal mee stopt (maar daar heeft het wel eens eerder op geleken).Nebulaguy schreef:Vraag is wel wanneer deze ep op TV komt, BBC II lijkt er even mee op te houden. Normaal kwam dit nu maandag, maar zelfs tot en met vrijdag zie ik geen enkele TNG eps geprogrammeerd staan.

Zou het kunnen dat ze dan met DS9 of VOY gaan beginnen. Maar ja misschien is dat wel wishful thinking.Frank schreef:Deze week en ook volgende week komt er geen TNG op BBC 2.

Ik heb ook geen DS9 of VOY in de gids zien staan. Laat ze nou eerst maar eens TNG afmaken, daarvan heb ik veel seizoen 6 en 7 afleveringen nog niet gezien .Nebulaguy schreef:Zou het kunnen dat ze dan met DS9 of VOY gaan beginnen.

Er is volgens mij geen echte rede om TNG uit te stellen; er worden gewoon andere series of programma's uitgezonden. Net zoals de BBC een tijdje geleden ook al deed toen de afleveringen naar de vrijdag werden verschoven.Nebulaguy schreef:Weet je soms de reden waarom ze er mee stoppen, een groot golftornooi?, darts?, Polo?, Snooker? Redenen genoeg voor BBC om iets als TNG uit te stellen.
Op zich is het voor de BBC ook wel een mooi punt om (eventjes) te stoppen. Seizoen 5 is geheel afgerond en ook de cliffhanger Time's Arrow is helemaal uitgezonden. En verder geloof ik ergens gelezen te hebben dat in december het uitzendschema van de BBC geheel gaat veranderen, dus misschien stoppen ze TNG wel helemaal.
