I'll let you in on a little secret: Bakula's edged his way into my dreams over the past few nights. Nothing too racy -- some are downright weird and for some reason being rolled into those Disney 50th Birthday celebration commercials -- but they're making me feel very guilty about what I'm going to do in this recap. However, guilt is easily gotten over with a bottle of wine and a case of beer, so I will soldier on. Because the truth must be told.
There's a TNG comm beep and a voice ordering, "All senior staff report to the Bridge." "Computer," comes a familiar voice that belongs to a familiar face that was flogged in the previews all week, "freeze program." TNG computer noises blupity-bleep as everyone on the Bridge freezes. The camera pans over to the left to show us Riker in a blue Enterprise jumpsuit. "Save from this time index," Riker commands and stands up. Majel says, "Program saved." Riker calls out, "End program," and the frozen Bridge dissolves into the yellow and black grid of a holodeck. Riker, now dressed in his TNG uniform -- which apparently had to be taken in for this role, so forget what I said in my last recap about editing Riker's bottom -- walks out of the holodeck and into a TNG hallway.
