Starship Mine - s6e18

"The Enterprise is mine!" says Picard when he goes back for his saddle(!) No one grows in this one, including our panel, but that's just perfect for a mélange of 80s action movie moments. Due for a scan for waste particles associated with the warp engines, the Enterprise bridge crew must go to a reception held by Hutch, er, Commander Calvin Hutchinson. Data wants to emulate the art of small talk, but then verges into the actually interesting conversation around interior design and scientific facts about planets. Picard leaves the reception to grab the saddle he apparently always has with him, and discovers Tuvok and crew dissembling the ship. The captain trapped on his ship with ne'er-do-wells must make arrows and set up ambushes like he's John McClane Rambo. It's a fun one, with great stunts and an honest-to-god reference to Mr. fuckin' Ed. No joke.
