TNG: Where Silence Has Lease
[Trek Talk]
I am almost certain that they dusted off an old Star Trek (1966) original series script for TNG: Where Silence Has Lease. They should have left it in whatever vault it came from.

Posted by: heathcliffe on September 8, 2003 11:54 AMThis one isnt such a bad episode, but now that I think of it, it is reminiscent of the Original Series. Like 'The Corbomite Maneuver'crossed with 'The Immunity Syndrome'. But it actually wasn't a 'recycled' one, like 'Devil's Due' was.
Posted by: Diane Gibson on September 5, 2003 04:19 PMThis episode was sooooo Original in feel ... i remember getting the exact same impression, that somebody pulled it out of some dilapidated box and blew dust off it before penciling in the names of the characters of TNG ...
Posted by: dyingofluv on September 4, 2003 09:57 AMThe episode you're thinking of is 'Allegiance', which is a lot more interesting that 'Where Silince Has Lease'.
Posted by: Diane Gibson on August 28, 2003 11:05 AMWhat's interesting, too, is that they do this same theme several times. Q is a more clever and interesting version of this encounter with episodes playing on this same lab rat theme. But there's some other later episode, I believe, where at the end they trap the aliens in a force field of some sort to show them what it's like.
